Title: The happy Thanksgiving merged Thread
Post by: davedel44 on November 19, 2016, 07:36:42 AM
Greeting from the Texas Coast,

Just a short blurb to say I'm  thankful for those that participate, monitor and run this forum. 

Despite the cruelty culture that runs rampant on the Internet, we (mostly) manage to avoid the mean-spirited criticisms and bullying that characterizes many forums.  Although we are a diverse group spread across a wide geographical area, we have formed a virtual community held together by our common love of the quirky brand of motorcycle we ride. We unselfishly share our mechanical expertise and life lessons, sympathize and advise, and sometimes even disagree. 

To all my Guzzi Brothers and Sisters, those that I've met and those that I have come to know through their posts, thanks.

Enjoy the Holiday Season and ride if the weather permits.

Dave
Galveston

Yes, be grateful for all the little things in life...fresh running water out of the tap, a roof over one's head, a warm bed, a loving family and good friends, and food on the table... :cool: There are millions of people on this planet that will never experience these luxuries...

...and of course...a well sorted, smooth running Moto Guzzi...of any year or model! :thumb: 

Happy Thanksgiving to all! :grin:

Happy Thanksgiving to all!  We're having an unusually glorious day -- our first Thanksgiving since the June wedding. Just bought an old farmhouse and barn in Paonia, my kid is happy and in love with a great guy, and we're watching fat squirrels feast on the last of Gail's cherry tomatoes. We'll ride the Mille tomorrow and I'll ski on Monday. Perfect.

No, sadly my brother runs a huge WalMart store and didn't make it because he had to work today or this evening.  That's why he can afford a 6 cyl top of the line Beemer "Exclusive" motorcycle.
