Darn, thanks, just ordered one from Amazon, came fully charged.
Right now looks like the tow guy is picking up the bike tomorrow, and I'm hoping to Amtrak up to A&S on Saturday morning to pick up, that's assuming they can get it running and safe in a day. I'm asking them to leave the basic stuff for me to do.

I drove up and saw it yesterday (and dropped off the battery). A&S can't get to it until Tuesday unfortunately.
It looks pretty good (they said it looks better than another auction bike that just came through).
Decals look like they were removed with a screwdriver (!) but otherwise it's pretty straight.
Tires look good, etc. Just gotta be patient...

For anyone considering purchasing one of these, I suggest the following:
- go see the bike if you can pre-purchase
- contact the local dealer with the VIN and see if they will run a history for you
- factor in repair costs into your overall purchase. A neglected RT can run you north of $2k in repairs if you can't DIY
- check accident history with agency, dealer and cyclechek.
