      Along with his collection of trinkets, and log book. Mr. Bill added some HOT and mild Green Chiles and some HOT Salsa all from New Mexico! Thanks Bill. (I'll bring the jar of salsa to the rally to share)
      I was reading Stators journal and all the places he's been. It is really amazing. I can't wait to take him for a ride and show him off.
      I have a bunch of pics of Stator on what rides we were able to get in and working on his log book. I'll send them once I can get those worked out to who ever gets him. Still trying to catch up as it is here from the crap this last spring.

          I'm not going to be making the Traveling Picnic this weekend. However there is a Professional Motorcycle Drag Race (Manufacturers Cup) going on a little west of Akron. I'm thinking about driving over with a buddy and his kid. I'll bring Stator with me. Maybe I can get a picture of him with Larry McBride... Well since the King Racing Top Fuel Puma Suzuki is not going to be there.

            Stator made it to the Brown County Rally, where he passed out some of the Chiles that Mr. Bill gave him. Thanks Mr. Bill. We also opened the jar of HOT Salsa. (There's still a couple of cans of Chiles that will go with Stator). Stator then came back to Youngstown, Ohio with me. I'll be passing him off later this summer. He was taunting me to see what the FJR will do. He didn't think the FJR would do 140mph. I had to show him! 139mph recorded on the GPS!
            Saturday I had a friend over my house. She wanted to take the motorcycle home, even thou it looked like rain. We got soaked! Stator stayed dry sitting in the saddle bag.
            I plan on taking Stator to a Bike Nite in Cleveland Wednesday. I'll get some more picture.
            This is a picture of my friend Michelle &Stator. Michelle is really getting into motorcycling even in the rain! She passed the rain test, she might be a keeper...☺
            So then Stator was right.... 139<140

                I'm getting ready to pass Stator on to Steve. I wish I could say it was a fun filled summer, but that is not the case with me. I've been layed up since July 1st with Gout in my wrist (a form of arthritis). The doctor tried a small does of Prednisone. Then a larger dose of Prednisone. The Prednisone helped my wrist feel better but only temporary. I'm off the Prednisone and I'm on a different medicine, I hope this medicine helps. Next step is some sort of surgery and I don't want that. With all these nice evenings and weekend plans I had, I've been stuck at home. I was planning on riding up to Port Clinton this weekend with Stator to ride in the "Tin Goose". That's not going to happen. So, I'll be sending Stator to Steve in the next week...

                        Highway_glider is wondering if he can meet up with the person that has Stator, in order to obtain Him for his trip the length of Route 66.

                          Most certainly.

                          Does H_G realize that "Stator" involves more than just a fuzzy little bear?
                          Yep, there is a small box of trinkets, mementos and a logbook that go along with him.

                          I am in the process of writing up his (abbreviated) travels with us, but have no immediate travel plans for the near future.

                          Shall we meet somewhere or will a Postman be involved?

                          What kind of a timeline is involved?

                            Steve, H_G is currently staying with us and as far as I know, there is no timeline to when he's leaving. If Stator comes with more than Danielle has room for on his trip, I may have to make arrangements to have the extras shipped to my place so he can pick them on His way back to Montreal. I'll let you know tomorrow what his thoughts are.

                              Hey all.

                              Stator and Daniel here.

                              Sorry no pics for now. I do have some but they are locked in my cameras for now.
                              Just so you know that Strator is doing well and is actually behaving.

                              After picking him at Steve's place we made our way to Chicago and have been following Route 66.

                              We are currently in Amarillo Texas. In a motel. We got clobbered by rain in Oklahoma City and felt that a bed and electric heat was mandated.

                              The GK is doing well. The stator got changed at rustybronco's place before picking Stator—the bear.
                              The no 4 plug got fouled up yesterday. Stator helped with changing all 4.
                              Today a small leak on the left side got bigger. Looks like the base gasket is leaking.
                              The rear tire wore down a lot today. I blame that 75 mph speed limit they have in Texas.
                              At that rate i will need a new tire in southern California.

                              That's all for now.

                              Stator says "Hi".
                              Daniel

                                Daniel, slightly loosening then torquing the cylinder head nuts to 40 Ft Lbs will slow the oil leak if it starts to get much worse.
