SORRY EVERYBODY... I FAILED (now the Duck-Stew/ducmouse/elf/mrs claus saga)

[The Bacon Junkie]

Hey All,

Thanks for all the kind words and support.  I wish it could've worked out differently.

To see all the outpouring of generosity from this board, it made me realize what a great group of people we have here on the DMF!   

If there is anyone who would like a refund of their contribution, since I didn't pull it off, just pm me and you will get it right away. 

You ARE having a going away party, right? Right?

sac

Yes, there is a going away party for Stu.  With everything going on, I just never posted it up.   

If anyone is around tonight and feels like making a trip to the middle of nowhere, we're throwing a shindig for Stu at:

CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN
1555 Simi Town Center Way
Simi Valley, CA 93065-0542

The ball gets rolling around 8pm....

Hope to see some of yoos guys there.

Wish I could make it.

Stu,hope the money we did get you helps in the move. We want to see more from you and flightcycles!

Is there a link to the original story?

I'd like to take a read.

[The Architect]

take my kick and buy yourself and Stu a bottle of something good to knock-off

Make that two bottles.

Or use the money to move for now but buy a bottle later for when bacon comes to visit.

Mr Short-bus did indeed throw a nice party for "our" Stu last night!  And he even managed to get some really good looking women to show up!!!  It was all about Stu, but as in any gathering of bikers, it devolved into a "there I was..." marathon.  And that's always a good thing! 

Now Ryan has to post about the dude that bought Allegra

Uhm...  Drama?  Trauma?

Was great to see you again Rob.  Thanks so much for coming out last night!

Guy that bought my '95 M900?!?  Didn't know what a fuel petcock was or a choke or how to use either.  And he was wearing his wifes' jeans (as told by his wife....  About 11 times).

Booooooooooo. Sad that such a nice bike will not be fully appreciated for all that it was (and wasn't).

[Raux]

just make sure the buyer joins the forum so we can ensure the legacy of the bike stays intact.

Thanks for everyone who was able to come on out and give Stew the send off he deserves! 

Good food, nice "scenery"    and great stories about our various mishaps and adventures with Duck-Stew.

Yeah, this guy was a complete tool.... Out of all the things that bugged me about him, the worst was the way he treated his wife.  Talked down to her, condescendingly, totally disregarded her, generally treated her like sh!t.  Pissed me off. 

Anyway,  I'll be checking Los Angeles Craigslist regularly for a custom green '95 M900.  My guess is he'll want to sell it because it won't run....  because he couldn't find his petcock and starved the motor of fuel.

This is beginning to take form..... Feel-good movie

Group of good friends get drunk, find stupid non-loving bastard Ducati buyer, stealing the bike back and delivering it out of State to it's rightful owner.

I don't know the ending, but I think the Blues Brothers and a My-Cousin-Vinny type of lawyer needs to be in there.

It could be a sub-plot to DMF: The Movie
