back in the saddle.. thanks KIWI.. will be in contact...
gotta get more enthusiasm going here..

Here is a note.. you heard it here and it's free....

THE RECESSION IS OVER.. REALLY!  IT IS OVER!

We are on the mend and the crank back will take a long time.  But, It is over.

It will take the real people some time to actually know it.  Remember this, when you know good times are here, you better hunker down.

That is sound advice.  Now is the time.  Check back with me in November.  I do not want to hear any comment until then.

If I am wrong.  I will admit it.. but we have to wait til November.

So with that in mind..... One of our ROV'ers has helped with access to a Pay Pal account... Does that make it easy.  The funds can go directly to Lucky.
Am working on it... just follow this thread..

Tiger, I been checking the PO BOX for the 'BODY' if you know what I mean.

I got company this week from 'outside' and presence will be on and off.

Hey, thanks for all the good ideas and help so far.. we have a ways to go... pony up..

QuoteLucky has a "donate" Paypal button on the top 3rd of his main screen on his website at www.xz550.com . I'm not sure though if that is a current paypal address for him or not...I' think it is.  Its the same type Icon the Ron has on the ROV site for supporting his site.

Yah...that's prob the most direct way of donating.  Keep us posted Lucky.

I agree, it is the best way to go..

When, I get the core we will start to rock with this project.. and bang the pot.

UPDATE:;; 

1. THE CORE IS HERE. ....... :o :o :o        THANK YOU TIGER!

2. THE STATOR IS ORDERED. ::) ::) ::)  today 7/30/09   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1982-84-yamaha-xz550-vision-stator-rebuilt_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4634Q2em332Q2el1262QQhashZitem29ff4d5334QQitemZ180376916788QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

3. Musicweb is supporting this project by providing a template to commit to the Raffle.  WATCH FOR THE THREAD AND LINK.  You will be able to support this project by check, MO, or Paypal.  easy!

4. Now lastly, I need email committments on "offered parts" that I can post on this thread, include a suggested donation amount.


So, when it comes to it.. I will post the item and a suggested donation... first come, will be first to serve, and recieve.  If you donate it, then you are responsible to take the time to ship it.  The USPO had a flat rate box Priority system.  It is very reasonable.


Now is the time to save your beer money (scotch money??) and put it to a good cause..  I am doing my best to make this a  success and now I need your help to make this a success.   We are a family, so lets pull together and help our friend.


What a deal,,, a chance for the affordable sum of 25 skins for a new american well built stator by Tim Parrott.


Now, I am waiting on you.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

Good to go... am getting emails..

I will get the tickets out and numbered and designed... they will be sent to you by email.


I will put the numbers in a jar and have my CFP wife (disinterested) pull a number at noon Alaska daylight time on August 21 2009 and get to a computer asap and post the winner.   I will send the Tim Parrott Stator to the winner by USPS Priority as soon as I can.  I hope that Parrott will have it to me by the drawing date.

My email is buzzing this morning... thanks to all for supporting this effort to "SAVE THE LUCKY V"

Todays UPDATE:

Ok, We are up.   Some minor and  impovement changes:

musicweb has provided the computer knowhow to run this totally electronic...you know electrons moving and hitting on all two cylinders and water cooled with a shaftdrive and mono shock... just too cool. 8) 8) 8) 8)

GO TO THIS SITE AND BUY A CHANCE TO GET A TIM PARROT STATOR!  $25 BUCKS  WHAT IS THAT?????/ TWO GUYS DRINKING 3 BEERS AT THE FAV SPOT.

"Save Lucky's V"

http://sidbid.com/raffle/


When you click, YES.  You automatically are in the system.  You have your ticket. The electrons  remember.

Here is the change.... I do not have to get my precious sweet CFP wife to do a thing.. IT WILL ALL BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY BY "ELECTRO-MANAGEMENT RANDOM COMPUTER DRAWING"     Too cool "musicweb"

You can do this by Paypal direct to Lucky or you can send me or him a check and you will get a ticket.  It would be better to send the check direct to Lucky... he is the benificiary after all and it keeps my bookkeeping duties at a minimum.

The drawing will be automatic and on AUGUST 21 @1200hrs Alaska Daylight time.

musicweb?? if I missed something... help me out here.

So, pony up and thanks for your support.   

I am still looking for a concise list of donation parts and a suggested donation amount.

Paypal has (temporarily?) suspended my account because raffles violate the TOU agreement.

I've let Akvision know.
