I appreciate the offer,glad to hear you are close to my location. I only have that GS450 for transportation around here and my only other way to get around is wait for my friend Dan who knows where places are;he's a delivery driver who spends many hours every day running. I have a special 'one way move permit' from California for the GS450 that I need to use to get on the bike when it's complete and then 'head west' on interstate 80. The bike is insured and I have the Michigan title signed over to me by Dan. I just can't use the bike locally.. an awkward situation until I get it back to California and register it.

I have arrived in St. Clair Shores ! The past month of May has been a time of personal ups and downs etc. :rolleyes:
But I'm overcoming the tough stuff.
I would like to borrow a couple tools to get the bike road-ready. A huge Thank You to local member 'Steve Conlan' for all his help with tools and rides.Last edited by grcamna2; 05-29-2018, 04:35 PM.

I had a problem back in Sparks,NV.,I was robbed they took my fully packed bicycle bags and camping gear while I was sleeping in a chair inside a truck stop(it was cold that night)... at that point I decided to bicycle to the train station in Reno,NV. and put myself and the bicycle on the train and got to my destination much quicker.
This was not my original plan but considering the turn of events I thought it was best.

I had the two large bicycle saddlebags/panniers and the camping gear too far away from me under another chair but I had the little knapsack with the phone and wallet right next to me,it was safe. I won't ever make that same mistake again. They got the thieves on house camera and the policeman viewed the recording and was able to i.d. these habituals,either way the stuff I so carefully chose and packed for this full journey is history now.
I need to keep my wits about me more when it comes to certain situations,from now-on I will.Last edited by grcamna2; 05-29-2018, 11:24 PM.

Would like to ask if anyone here locally in Michigan has a little time I would really appreciate any help I can get to get the bike on the road.The very nice local member 'Steve Conlan' has been a huge help to me,yesteady he drove me to some places for shop supplies.
The man here where I'm staying with in St. Clair Shores who is selling me the bike has had his helpful moments. He has let me do my own work at his garage and sleep here. I really do need to get back to California as soon as possible now though could use a little encouragement.
Thanks,Bill

Can you state what problems you are having with the bike..? Maybe good to post each problem in appropriate technical section. Lots of folks here wiling to help.

What sorts of things do you have left to repair on the bike? I'm about 35~40 minutes north of you. I have a trailer, ramps, and a fair amount of tools.
The problem for me is, I just promised to fill in part time for my old boss starting this afternoon. I can trailer it to my place if you need the extra hand or odd tool.Last edited by rustybronco; 05-31-2018, 09:54 AM.
