Box open ceremony, last winter.

Thank you for posting the picture of the CB still in the metal crate. I had never seen a Honda crated bike before.
Last year I reported here that the exhaust pipes on my CB were damaged where they curve under the bike, apparently, from either during the loading into the crate frame or when being removed.
The dents and marks were not fresh so I'm pretty sure it happened during the crating.
Looking at the framework of the metal cage I can see how that might happen.
The dealership replaced the pipes and I was once again a happy camper so it was only a minor inconvenience.
