oldgoat Posted May 11, 2013 #1 Posted May 11, 2013 well today kevin aka leadwolf56 and his better half. and there 2 friends brought stella a 2000 Honda shadow ace to my front door. I must say I am excited as a kid at Christmas time. the bike was well taken care of. the service these people did for me was awesome. I bought the bike a while back kevin and sue stored it and brought it to me. but old age is getting to us all.. kevin forgot the title . will fedex it to me. should be ready to ride by next weekend. if he ships that title out asap LOL. I am ready for the road and some 2 wheel riding .
Terros Posted May 11, 2013 #2 Posted May 11, 2013 It is great to have a "new" bike", doesn't matter how old it is. Take the time to ride around a while to get use to it and then just keep going. Good Luck Terros
oldgoat Posted May 11, 2013 Author #4 Posted May 11, 2013 sorry about the pics I did not take any? reason why? due to the flood I had I lost my camera. maybe leadwolf56 and sue took some? sorry I broke the rule. where do I send my donation for doing that?
Leadwolf56 Posted May 11, 2013 #5 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) We just made it home from IL. James is very happy with the bike. I'll see if I can get some pics uploaded. We appreciated James buying us lunch at the Rootbeer Stand. We wish him many miles of happiness with "Stella". Oh yeah, I'll get the title out right away.....lolol. Edited May 11, 2013 by Leadwolf56 Added pics

Leadwolf56 Posted May 13, 2013 #16 Posted May 13, 2013 James, that's a nice lookin bike. Ride safe. Kevin, that's a sweet trailer you have there, what is it ? The trailer is a RoadRider, my buddy Neal works for the place that makes them. There are 3 models, this one was actually the prototype, they let me borrow it to deliver Stella, nice folks. Try http://www.RoadRider.com.
Leadwolf56 Posted May 13, 2013 #17 Posted May 13, 2013 Nice job Kevin' date=' but I expect nothing less out of you my friend. James, I can tell you that machine you have has been well taken care of. Kevin is very good about keeping them in top condition...good on y'all [/quote'] Brad, I've learned through personal experience with various VR members. We've received a lot of help and now do what we can to help others. I think Stella has found a good home, I'm sure James will take good care of her.
oldgoat Posted May 13, 2013 Author #18 Posted May 13, 2013 she is under a nice warm cover. waiting to be rode when the title comes. LOL I had 5 people ask if it was for sale they thought it was from the next door yard sale LOL that is why I put a cover on her. now a dumb question which way is on for the fuel petcock? straight up and down? my eyes must be bad or maybe because the bike is so clean I cant read the petcock LOL. 2 people said nice Harley hugger LOL. any way send that title my friend I have an itch to ride I need to scratch LOL

Leadwolf56 Posted May 13, 2013 #21 Posted May 13, 2013 James, dropped the title at FedEx today. Fuel is straight down for on, straight up for reserve, crossways is off.
Leadwolf56 Posted May 13, 2013 #22 Posted May 13, 2013 Leadwolf ............... http://www.roadridertrailers.com/ !! That would be correct, I had it wrong.
oldgoat Posted May 13, 2013 Author #23 Posted May 13, 2013 thanks I got it turned off. I had a Honda 750 about 9 years ago if you did not shut off the fuel it would go into the crankcase better to be safe then sorry.
