    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Stator, The GSR travelling mascot.

From my read of the recent posts in this thread it appears that there are two members who would like to host Stator, CowboyUp in Ohio and leedutcher in Iowa. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE??? Speak Now.

I will soon start coordinating with the volunteers. One thing that you can be thinking about is to whom you will hand him off and how and when. It is apparent that serendipity isn't going to move the bear along. I suggest planning to move him along as quickly as possible. The only reason he has an extended stay with me is that I've no one to pass him to less than 900 miles away.

There is a new wrinkle for my travels. The Majesty scooter I rode up to the Southern Indiana ride and which died in the Rosemount parking lot is now fixed and ready for pickup in Bloomington. So I may be up that way very briefly sometime in the next two or three weeks to either trailer it home or to fly up and ride it back. That's all up in the air right now; let me know if that would make things any easier for anyone.

Sorry, Allie. I thought that in your response to CowboyUp (post #399) you indicated that the lack of interest from anyone else back east had taken you out of consideration for now. I know you would make a fantastic host for the little guy. If I at all had the time I would deliver him personally to your door. You might try to drum up a little more interest your way to establish a hand-off chain that will move him along. There is still plenty of time in the season and you definitely deserve some time with the bear.

That's a good idea, maybe if I post something in the regional section... I'd think muffins would be a good incentive to come my way for some folks. Liver flavored muffins, I'd try 'em!
 
Don, if you can get him to cowboy. Then I could get Stator from from cowboy. I could then run him over to Maryland, pick up Cheryl then we could deliver him to Allie... One way or the other Stator needs muffins...
 
Hum.

I have met Stator. He will like muffins for sure but he will definitively like them if barley and hops is involved:rolleyes:.

Barley muffins?
 
All this talk of muffins got me wanting some too :p

Doesn't seem like Stator will be around my area anytime very soon - But if he ever wants to visit here, bear (ahem) in mind I have a supplier who imports stuff from the USofA regularly... If he has to be made comfy in a box to get here (or back out), at least I'd know he'd be in safe hands.

Muffins. I'm going to make some right away!

He certainly needs to get up to the Wisconsin/Illinois area. Let's not forget our riding season is shorter than the southern states. He can always visit those places when we're fighting off the annual encroachment of the glaciers.....

If hand-to-hand isn't going to work, then perhaps he needs to fly Air FedEx to the next host. One possible route looks to be eastern seaboard (New Joisey) - Ohio - Western Great Lakes - Southwest - Left Coast - Pacific NW? ....or variations thereof :cool:

850GT, I did not see in your statement a commitment personally to host Stator, only that he needed to be in your area. I was looking for statements that began with "I" rather than "He" or "We".

If you are telling me that you would like to host the bear and take responsibility for moving him along, I will happily add your name to the list and to the planning.

Yknow, bran muffins made with beer might not be a complete catastrophe. I've got a big bag of chiles in the freezer from a neighbor too. :-k

I didnt want to sound self-serving or possessive. Sorry to be unclear.

Except for the immediate next two weeks (business travel), of course I'm willing to act as host and arrange meets and/or handoffs. In fact, I was the one willing to take him to Ireland with us at the end of August, but I dont think he can complete a US tour by then.
 
Be careful what you ask for...
I for one don't ever want to see that little mollycoddled moocherpoocher ever again!
All the girls swoon over him, while he gets free transport, accommodations, first class company, food and drink all over the globe and feels he deserves it.
(worse than Rick Steves)

He can eat and drink twice his weight daily.
Not to mention he climbs on ANY & EVERYTHING.
Dirtier than a Hungarian phrasebook plus he's getting a bit mankey as well!

I say deport the freeloader!

If he falls off the back of a members bike in Florida, say near alligator alley, I will not participate in the search party!

Yeah, I know it's like slagging Mother Teresa, The Pope or The Dali Llama, not a popular view to voice, but has to be said nonetheless!


I have a roasting pike ready should we meet again...:eek:
