thanks never thought about trash liners or patio blocks? and with the cover i got with the bike i should be good to go. got help comming . to move it and put it in the little area by my window. going to be a little fun as we have to push it back in to that spot so that it can be drivin forward next spring to get it down the side walk and on to the road. so all looks good. i would drive it but still not to sure about the hoses? they where used but in good condition but with my health now if it broke down in that 3 mile ride from the storage unit to my place i would never be able to move it. lets just say im a little scared to try it. now this will save me some$$ in storage fees and i wont have to listen to the old lady up there yelling that im working on my bike. should have seen her today while i was up there cleaning the place and getting ready to get this home maybe next weekend. i thought she was going to run the golf cart into the pole LOL and sure enough less than a half hour latter she pulls up and said i called my boss and your not to be working on the motorcycle. i politely said look im cleaning see me putting stuff in my car and sweeping up a little? and yes i did put a small part on the bike and yes im going to put the rest of these litttle nuts and bolts on. so please be informed that by the first of next month i will be out of here. cant wait till im out out of there.

thanks dingy i understand you never get what ya put into it. i once sold a car for $25 over what i owed the loan company just to get the loan out of my hands and a second car i didnt need anymore. im not expecting a gold mine this bike needs some TLC. and as you can see i realy realy dont want to part with it. but times are tough my friend. if some one like mike eusa up in dixon IL and thats not far from here could put this up some where for free till next spring that would be great but i hate to ask him. pepole have done so much for me here . im trying to see if i could get help to just maybe put it right under my front window? i need some pepole to drive or push it up there and being its grass i need something under the side stand? and i can just cover it up till spring. please understand im not trying to beg someone to buy this. just trying to make it till another and hopefully a better year.

i have talked to the loan company about my motorcycle there is a small loan on it that is now being paid by the insurance company. i took out that benifit in case of finance problems so far there paying the loan payments. but they will release the bike for the right price? as of right now its back together just needs some things tighten up and i will go up there and do this latter. as most pepole know im in a finance bind and can hardley make ends meet. the storage runs $75 a month and after august i can no longer afford this. so my thoughts are sell it give the money to the loan company and get out from under it. or if someone close by is willing to store it for free that would be great!!! im looking at this workers comp case to end by december. also the loan company said i could just trade it and they would hold the title to the new bike. and the insurance pepole will still make payments. so that gave me another thought maybe someone has a smaller bike that runs they would trade straight up for so i can do a little ridding this year? ihate to get rid of it. but here is a list if what has been done to it #1 new dunlop tires 404 last year less then 500 miles on them. #2 skydocks fuse up grade #3 nice exhaust put on used from ebay but all there from front to back includeing the nice collector. and turn down tips. #4 new brakes with new rear rotor this was a $1200 fix that was part of haveing the exhaust and brakes done. have recipet. #5 used radiotor from skydock and used hoses new antifreeze installed i ran the bike and no leaks thanks skydock and the other member who gave me the hoses. also installed the side plugs? that dingy sent again no leaks. #6 nice battery that i bought at a harley shop cost $125 gel type less then 7 months old and i used skydocks battery sender wire to stop the flashing light on the computer. and im sure there is other stuff im forgetting? now the bad she needs the carbs sync she idles ok but needs the choke to start it? after about a minute choke can be pulled off and she idles but a little rough? seafoam was added at storage and new plugs installed. she needs a paint job its faded and there are some of the usual crack. rear trunk passenger pad needs to be redone shes ripped. ihvae the chrome rack but nedds 2 screws removed they broke off but the rack is still nice and shinny. could use a new clutch and front brake master the sight glass is ugly. a little time by you experts here and this bike will run like it should. it has 77k on her. but if some one is willing to store it i would like to keep it or trade for a small bike till next year once again many thanks to all of the help from you great pepole sincerly oldgoat

congrats now you can load the grandchild up with lots of sugar treats so she can be wired when she goes back home to mom and dad. also make sure you buy lots of noisy toys to take home. so that she can drive her parents nuts. you also get to hear that famous saying but grandpa said i can have it. now enjoy her for they soon grow up,

well today i was heading down to peoria IL on I 39 when this awesome black and gold yamaha venture passed me then went on toward bloomington /normal now i never saw a black and gold one before did they come out in that color? im thinking a mkII? as the bags looked larger at least what i could see of the bike that sucker was hauling arse. i was doing 80mph in the car at the time but i got a fair look at it when it pulled of and onto the exit toward bloomington/normal looked like AZ plates maybe ? anyways just wanted to say if it was you that is one nice looking bike.

prayers sent from IL hope all goes well -
i just want to say thank you thank you thank you. as you all know i was faceing some real hard times. and im doing some what better. with the great support from to many to name here im doing a little better. its nice to know my lights and internet wont be shut off for at least 3 months with all of your help i paid in advance and my fridge is stocked with food maybe not steaks or even pork chops but its still food. cupboards have soups vegies and basic things. i did spend a few dollars for new socks and a pair of sneakers a man can wear boots just way to much sometimes they get heavy . i may not be out ridding but there is a smile on my face as i know i have a ton of of angels here watching over me. so once again my thanks and prayers go out to each and every one of you sincerly James aka oldgoat
