 Stu Oltman (chickenman_26) been a member here for a while but he doesn't visit here a lot anymore but is a great guy and very knowledgeable on all bikes. He gave me a lot of info and help on my 77 Goldwing when I got it some years back. I PM him every now and then and he still has some bikes but has down sized quite a bit lately because of his age and his health not the best he says. So when you get a chance send him a message, I know he would appreciate it and it would mean a lot to him to hear from everyone. Thanks!

Stu is a great guy. Met him at some Wing conventions. There is nothing he has not touched. Did you know he used to be the technical writer and trouble shooter for Wing World magazine? Super nice guy!

Bump.
Sorry I haven't been around to notice this thread till now, but I just want you guys to know it means a lot to me to hear the kind words and read the PMs. I've now retired from both Wing World and MCN, got my legs roto-rootered to restore circulation, stopped smoking, got a personal trainer to whip my saggy old body back into shape. So I'm doing some serious mileage again and hope to squeak out a few more years on two wheels.  Thanks again.

I used to say when I retired, I would take the La-Z-Boy into the back yard and burn it... now here I am, retired, and sitting in it more than I should, and typing this...
La-Z-Boys have taken a good many great men to their graves...  Let alone the cigarettes!    :-X
Nice to see you are still riding, Stu!

Stu it is great to hear from you again! It made my day as I was wondering how you were doing, but afraid to ask. Glad your health is improving and you are getting some miles again my friend!
