jerry im thinking its a 45 as it just keeps going up past an old school. down around county rd 425 north and go out to I 39 here in illinois you round a corner here on 251 shoot up this hill for 2 miles before it levels off. then half a mile of flat road then straight down hill its fun and a little bit scarry. i never was good in math but let me tell ya it makes truckers pucker up going down that thing. as soon as you get to the bottom you have about a quater mile before you hit this little tiny town and slow down to 30mph???

seeing as i hope Dianne dont come on here and read this? its a nice in the 80,s day and im feeling pretty darn good. so i thought hey oldgoat take the venture out and see what dianne was talking about it bogging down. well i fire her up and take off. first i made some phones calls to family and friends and gave them my route i was going to take.. well off i go. im going along nice and steady. then theres a 45 degree uphill road. ok heres a good place to test the bogging?? i crank it up to 45mph in second and just hung on to the throttle. shot up that hill hitting 60mph in second maybe not a good thing? hit the flat top road hit 3rd and cranked it again and hit 75mph.. the i just dropped it into 4th. and stayed there. never put it in 5th. as this road is a 45 mph road and its getting close to the end of the month .can we say this road is a speed trap road because as soon as you hit the bottom of this road it drops to 30mph. small town about 125 population. well im thinking that that number 3 sparkplug cap i cleaned and snapped back on migh have something to do with the bogging. they had and now i fixed it?? also the seafoam and premium gas might have finaly cleaned something in the carbs?? so i had a good day untill i got home and noticed oil burring smell?? i think i have a small vale cover leak on the front left side as i see some grim and oil residue there?? not a biggie. just might need a little tighten down on it. also noticed that left handle bar seems in a little? now i think that the repair shop dropped another bike on mine. as the farring was cracked. so is there any punch marks on the bars to see if it it shiffted? or god forbid its bent some. im thinking this is what makes the front wobble some? im trying to ride and keep bars straight and im pulling the left bar when i shouldnt??

ok just one of mine from when i was a stupid kid. at age 14 i got me one of them wrist rocket sling shots. well i was bored and found some of my grandpas .22 shells. now seeing as i couldnt take out my .22 unless grandpa was around. i snuck out with the sling shot and the shells. for some reason i placed 2 of them in the sling shot pocket and let them fly hitting a brick wall. now for the life of me i never thought they would have a snow balls chance in hell of going off.. one must have hit just right at enough speed from that slingshot and i heard a bang. and breaking glass. 6 ft from me was grandpas 54 ford pick up with a nice new hole in the windshield.. let me tell ya a willow branch hurts and hurts even more when ya have to cut it yourself to be punished...

she called me and said its going ok. she worked a long 12hr shift as a nurses aide. emergency room helper. worse thing that came in that night was a little 18 month old girl who pulled a hot pot of soup off the stove. got second and third degree burns on her chest and left leg. she asked if im being good? who me? i told her i did not take the motorcycle out . i did start hers and mine. then put hers and mine on a battery tender. boy that house of hers here is sure a lonely quite place. dogs are with her. furniture all coverd up. sure like to know where she got that door bell ringer that turns on a recorded dog barking? i set up her lights so that one is on at certain parts of the house. small lamps. i do miss her. but just knowing she,s doing ok makes me happy

Dianne. got a better job offer. in her mothers state of north dakota. she took off for a couple of months to see if she will like it up there. it breaks my heart. but i understand. she,s not my girlfriend just a verry verry best female friend. we still keep in touch. she cried so much i thought i would have a swimming pool in my kitchen. i explained to her by saying Dianne your like my second daughter. we have become a family. your in my daughters wedding. and your allways in this familys heart. from Amber (my daughter) right down to my heart. and like a daughter all your second father would want is for his daughter to be happy. she wont be far from minnesota and Amber can visit her. i can as well. when im healed up better. i will miss her smile our coffee meetings and things we did. her home is still here untill it sells. but she will be close to her mother. and old school friends. i pray it all works out for her. but she will be missed by all of us her in good old Illinois at least this oldgoat will:backinmyday:
