I'm Back

Sailariel · June 24th, 2012, 04:56 PM

It has been a hectic few months. The Soup Kitchen that I run has kept me busy 40 hours+ a week. A friend bought a Ninja and had Belmont Motorcycle Performance do its magic. The bike absolutely screams! It has new suspension, Area P Exhaust, and God knows what else. The bike is a rocket. BMP specializes in Kawa and has some very fast dragsters. He works on other bikes as well, and has just finished going over my NT 700V.

Hopefully I will be able to get out and ride---7000 miles is pathetic for a bike bought Nov. 2010. I put twice those miles on the Ninja in two years.

Glad to have you back, good Sir

Welcome back Alex. It will be nice to have your wisdom around here.

Your insight is part of what brought me here! Welcome back!

Thank you all for the kind words. I'll try to keep current. Am currently having a great time building a Cafe Racer out of a 73 Honda CB550K. I needed something to challenge my 70 year old brain.

When you're done with that, I'll let you finish mine. lol Welcome back, and good luck with the build!

Eric, Do you have any idea where I can get a spark plug wrench that will work on the two inside cylinders?

I have, in effect two bikes--both cosmetically challenged. I do have two complete engines--on is running, the other one needs a coil. The plan is to restore the 73 and make a Cafe out of the 74

Hello!

I am not on here much but I do look for you.

How is the shelter doing?

Does it slow down a bit in the summer?

I hope to help again soon.

You a good man!

Glad you are back Alex! I have been lacking on the email side!

I looked into the homeless shelter possibility and ran into two snags--one is that the NIMBYs are quick to organize, and I got calls about bringing rif raff to Belfast. The second snag is that it would cost 1.5 Million---state fire regs--sprinkler system, staffing, etc.

We are organizing several local churches behind this--so it may happen.

The Soup Kitchen is running double its capacity. Where we were serving an average of 28 meals a day last year at this time, we are up to between 58 to 64 a day. We really had to accellerate our fund raising efforts because our expenses doubled. We have to buy most of our meat--at a reduced price, but paper products, condiments, etc. are on an increase. I did have to terminate one position in order to save money. It's a speed bump we will get over. Thanks for asking.
