I think yammerdan has a wanted poster on one. something about gloves missing not sure:detective:

yes I did move it back to the road position. I too have been there and done that:rotf:

day 2 with stella. went real good. we took off with cloudy skies above but still 65 out side. got the shifter adjusted for my big boots. and headed off to see a small farm my grandparents had in Utica IL. all was good. then a little rain came. not bad. stella did not care. she just kept going. I pulled into a gas station. to do my thing. a bottle of water and seeing some rain . makes ya want to pee LOL. we took off stella and I when about2 miles from home. stella acted funny? sure enough. when I was at the station my mind was on going pee. and I forgot. to put gas in stella. turn her to RES. she was fine. headed back to that station. filled her up. she was happy. and now we are home she is under her cover and I am waiting for more rain to come. if my figures are right she got close to 49mpg. average speed about 70mph. I love this bike.

nice bike

well the title came in to day at 9:am down to the DMV to get her ready. for the state of IL.1 hour latter she got her new plates and all her paper work done. then back to the apartment to get the helmet put the plate on stella and the tab. told her lets get to know each other ok? fired her up and off we went. took me a little while to the floor boards. as I have a size 10 foot and the boots have steal toes. hard to get the tip of the left boot under the shifter. but stella was very nice about it. soon got the hang of them board and off we went to the state park. where I had a soda and a hike. while she waited for me. then off we went again for a 70 mile ride to no place just go here and not care. as all roads lead home sometime. I must say she road like a dream. kevin aka leadwolf 56 and his better half took care of this bike and I am totally happy with this bike. all I been through in the last 2 years went away with just one heck of a ride. kevin and sue thank you. and you too eusa1 for hooking me up with them. I will go out again latter today as for this being my first ride. I am a little sore LOL. the total left knee replacement is not a year yet and it gave me a little hint that it was time to rest. and take the pain med. but did I say I was happy?

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.

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

nice now get out there and ride it

well congrats to you and tatters. may the next 29 be as good

mike, eusa1 you where part of the deal the rootbeer offer is still open to you as well. many thanks

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?

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 .

yes!!!!!. I been yelling at my face book friends we did like 12 of them for her congrats we where working like mad for her.

got ya 5 total from me and 4 face book family

all I can do now is offer up a prayer till I get back on my feet

snake hunting is cool but can we go snipe hunting too?

well its 7 blocks up hill and in the next town from where i was and its upstairs. i think i will buy all pastic furniture LOL once again thanks every one.

i want to thank every one for the prayers and donations. i have found a new place and will be moving in on the 1st of may right now i,m still at the hotel untill then. i have been down to the old place and i can now get in and check some of the damage. every thing that is soaked i,m just tossing out. i have lost all of the furniture. all of my personal papers are just a big ball of wet paper in there drawers. i guess that bad but can be a good thing as when i go to toss them. no one can get any personal info off of them as they just fall apart. looks like i can save all of my wolf and eagle figures. that made me feel good as there just mudddy and can be washed. also all of my faimly pictures where high enough on my walls that they never got touched. now some even better news if you can call it that. my motorcycle helmet that i bought brand new survied!!! the damn thing floated on top of my kitched tabble was still in it,s box so i opened it and damn that helmet was wrapped in plastic and bubble wrap. just lost the carboard box. the helmet was dry as can be. it still breaks my heart as some things i had since i was a chilkd is gone. and some i hads wen loved ones passed. but as long as i have my departed loved ones in my heart i still have there memory. and there is nothing that can take that away. things can be replaced like furniture. dishes bed and stuff. i will not let this get me down. i shall go on and build new memories thank you every one. sincerly james aka oldgoat PS when it gets warmer i will be asking for the delivery of my scooter .nothing like . 2wheels and a open road to let your thoughts of the bad just drift away in the wind.

my paypal is hackstudio@yahoo.com i thank you all for prayers and help. i will get through this. i see others are fighing this as well and my prayers go out to you as well. so far i called 8 places that are for rent here and no answers? thinking maybe the ladlords live some where else and not near thwere apartments and maybe they to got flooded out and can not return my calls? i am in a motel that charges $185 a wekk and i am coverd till thursday. dont get my ssdi check till the 3rd of next month so i will look for a shelter or redcross for help for another week here at the motel? will see how it goes thanks every one.

my prayers go out to you and the family dan. so sad and so young

just to let every one know the illinois river flooded and took out my apartment. it,s under 5 ft of water. i lost every thing but some clothes the computer and my car. right now ia m in a hotel looking for a new apartment. so kevin leadwolf58 and mike eusa1 if you see this it will be a while before we can get the bike to me. dont worry i still can do the rootbeer when the time comes. i figure i lost about $4000 worth of personal stuff. even a brand new $175 helmet i forgot that i took it into the apartment the day before. damn it i am so depressed right now.. i will rebuild it will just take time. james aka oldgoat

prayers offerd up

good news is your ok. and the bike took a little hurt. but thank god for them crash bars.
