Well kids, I am going to hang up my chaps, I am going to sell the Chicken. I have a lot of spare parts and new things that I have not put on yet that I am going to be selling. I am going to put it on here first at a reasonable price and then what doesn't sell I will put on eBay.
Its going to take a while but I will let you know when I put it on our classified site.

I have enjoyed every minute of my time here and will pop back in to say hi from time to time, I have made some good friends on here and I will miss you tremendously.

Keep in mind the things I have are for a 2001 RS. I am even going to post the bike on here first.

Thank all of you for all your prayers and help over these last three years.

Your friend,
Howie

Howie,I'm sorry that you are selling ThunderChicken but I know you have put alot of thought into it and it's whats best for you. Take care of you first. I'm glad to know you even if it is over the net.
But you can still pop in here and help out some of us slow learners Peace to you Brother

Martin

Sorry to hear that, your decision must be the best for you and your loved ones, best of luck to you. Pop in every now and then, always welcome...

Hey Howie.

You have been a valued contributing member of the Clinic for a very long time now. We all appreciate everything you have done here.

You have helped to make this a better place, and your posts continue to live on in our forum. You hit a rough patch, one that most here would not make it through still riding.

As valuable as you have been to us, I can imagine how valuable you are to your family. Your decisions have to be in the best interests of you, and of them. Although I don't speak for all of us, I feel like I do when I say to take care of the things in your life that are most precious, including you,

We know your a gearhead, and you always will be. Its in your blood. I'm anxious to see what you get your passions wrapped around next. Whatever it is will be a great. So hoping you don't see this place as a "Road Star Only" type of place and report back in when you can. You have a lot of friends here who will enjoy hearing what you get your teeth into next.

I've always wanted to take on a mid 40's ford sedan. Maybe when I retire. Or if I get lucky, a little sooner.

You are a legacy here. Don't stray too far

Tear em up Howie

Gram

Hate to see you go! You have been in our prayers since your accident! Check in once in a while and keep us up to date on how you are healing.

Howie, you may be hanging up the chaps, but like us, you know why dogs like to put thier heads out the window into the wind. That knowledge and those feelings will never be forgotten. You're still a part of a brotherhood here and we expect to hear your rants and raves.

I know it was a hard decision. It's tough to part with things you love, but I'm sure you've decided what's best for you and the family. Recover fully and stay in touch with us here.

Peace to you and your family.

Ratl.

Not an easy decision Howie, but one all of us will have to face when the time comes. The guys have pretty much said it all, so I'll just ditto all that's been said to you. You'll always be a brother Howie.

Hate to see you go. God bless!

You could always take up boating on the Three Rivers!

Howie you have been in our thoughts and prayers for some time now. I am sure like Gram said you will find a new passion. It wouldn't surprise me to hear you have a nice little duce couple to hit the car shows with. God bless and keep in touch.

Thank you all for all your well wishes, I just can't ride with my shoulders like they are, if I thought for a second that I could get away with it, I would trike it and ride forever, I know you can't kill one of these bikes short of running them out of oil.
Its one of the best built machines I have come across in my travels. I know some one will love this bike as much as I do.

I put a price of $5,500 on it and an extra $400 for the Ultimate seat and Barons clutch kit I never got around to putting on.

I had one person ask, so that's going to be the price, its low for all the stuff I have on it but I want some one to love and ride this bike till it falls apart.

And thank you all for being there for me in my many hours of need. I will stay around and try to answer the silly oil questions and give Musky a hard time when I can!!

I really found a home here and its not every motorcycle owner that gets an extended family with the purchase of a fine motorcycle!!

Peace,
Howie
