Well, we haven't divorced yet, but we have seperated. Liz is still in Tennessee, I moved down to Hinesville Ga on saturday. All the grandkids are now within 10 minutes from the house. The 7th is due in about 3 weeks. Maybe now I can start making some of the M&Es. Liz and I have split on pretty good terms. We decided that a 25 year friendship was worth more to us than a one year marraige. She is still one of my best friends, we just couldn't live together. Different priorities I guess. I am also now medically retired. The cardiologist finally said no more work, so I now have a social security claim and a disability claim working wth VA. Meanwhile, short term disability thru the job. So at least I'm not broke. Yet.

Ok folks here it is, the winner of the DAV rafflebike is Doug Jones from Wartburg Tn (pronounced whatburg). Mr Jones is an elderly gentleman, who will probably give the bike to his son. He rode the bike home last night. Liz asked him to wait a moment for her to go get a camera, when she came back outside, he was already gone.So no pics, sorry. It doesn't matter anyhow, as the DAV raised $2900 thru this raffle, and that was the whole point. Thanks to everyone who bought a ticket for this, and thanks for the support. Liz, Joe, & DAV chapter 26. By the way, I could never have sold an '89 1st gen with 89000 miles on it for $2900!!!

Liz and I are very seriously looking at another first gen. If we buy and we probably will, we are going to donate our current bike to the Disabled American Veterans post #528 here in Oliver Springs Tn for them to raffle off. Bike has 88000 on it, runs great. cruise and electronics dont work bike has new paint. Looks and rides great. I would imagine that they will be around $10 ticket. this is for a very good cause. So if this happens will anybody be interested is helping them out? You can be sure that it would be a legit raffle as my Liz is the chapter treasurer:feedback:

:rant:So, Liz and I get up this am, and head for the bike shop and our new ride. I won't give the name, but it's a Honda store in Alcoa Tn, and there's only one in Alcoa Tn. Let me go back a few days. We stopped in there last wed, so that Liz could sit on a new wing, and compare it to the RSV. She liked it well enough that we did the paperwork and gave them $1000 down. We explained to them very clearly that that was our downpayment. No problem they said, we'll see what we can do. They called friday and said we were approved. My next day off was today, so we made an appointment to pick the bike up at 10:00.. So we get there at 10:00, they're moving bikes and atvs around and dont even look our way until almost 1030. When they get to us, the saleslady says have a seat, I'll go get the paperwork . When she comes back and sits down, she starts going over #s, Then says the total is 20000 or so, we are financing 13000 with your 7111 down, are you going to write a check for the other 6111? Excuse me??? what the ---- is this? We told her if they had just mentioned this over the phone, we could've avoided wasting our time. She says wait a minute, I'll go talk to the finance manager. So we go back and forth for a few minutes, and the wife and I are really getting POd. The excuse we got for not being told this over the phone was that they couldn't tell us about wanting a bigger downpayment because of the privacy act. Bull! Then, before they would give us our $1000 check back, we had to fill out a form stating why we weren't going to do business with them. It's probably a good thing that Liz filled out this form. So, there won't be a new bike this year, we're going to wait until spring. We told that to the folks at the Honda store and they had the cajones to ask us to come see them when we're ready to buy. Is this the normal way business is done when someone goes to spend this kind of money?? If so, the moneypit has probably got another 100000 miles or so in her.
