Seller says he’s in Twisp Washington. It’s a Z1. I’d need some close to pick it up till I can make arrangements to get it
 

Twisp Washington is in north central Washington, 50 miles to Canada, 174 miles to Spokane.
Are you flying out or hire movers ?
 

Just trying to pull this all together. Weighing cost and time. I’m leaning toward taking a week and grabbing up my grandson that just got his license and making a bonding trip. 

Id really like someone to get eyes on it before this is all finalized. With today’s ways I’m not comfortable with just photos. I’m very scam sensitive. 

Twisp is 2100 miles from my house, a very long drive.
I have flown to destination and rented a van to drive home.
I flew to Providence RI to pickup a bike, the bike was expensive and I was not satisfied, drove back to the airport and called Marilyn to get me a ticket home, quite an adventure.
I prefer shipping these days, cost is lower and much easier.
I recently bought a bike in Idaho, had to walk the guy through how to list on ebay, talked with ebay and told them what I was doing.
Twisp is in the middle of nowhere, you will be lucky to find someone who can inspect.
Here are two inspection companies

Some have complained the people that work for these companies are idiots and don't know anything.
This is true, they can provide a basic inspection.
 

Bumping this back up. Really hoping to find help to look at the bike.
 

Fly to Spokane, drive to Twisp and look.
