When I arrived home from the hospital last night, there was a box on the table from Jim at Rose Farm. Thought, "I don't remember ordering anything in my drug addled brain..about the only thing I've bought from him is a couple of T shirts?"
Inside, was a Rose Farm postcard (suitable for framing)

with a note: Per Request!! Be safe and Get Well Soon, signed by Jim.
Also, if you've not been to Rose Farm, there is a never ending supply of candy next to the cash register. All kinds of interesting things. There was a bag of these inside an official Piaggo package. a couple of cool lanyards that Guzzi gives out at major events. Several Moto Guzzi pens. Several Moto Guzzi stickers plus a lifetime supply of Moto Guzzi temporary tattoos. (Think I'll put one on, now.)

And
A gallon of Motul 20-50. (!)
Thanks to Jim, and my anonymous benefactor!!
Life is good..

There's no place like home! I'm glad that's where you is. Now about that 20/50

Is this going to degenerate into an oil thread?

Yeah.. I've been running 10-60 in the Aero engine.

Probably 20-50 would work, though.

Or maybe save it for a couple of years worth of running the Mighty Mouse Monza.

boatdetective · « **Reply #9 on:** March 24, 2016, 10:13:58 AM »

Come to think of it- given your delicate state, I think it would be prudent for you to get rid of the Aero Lario and stick with the Monza. Kind soul that I am, I'd be willing to take it off your hands.

Pls note that while many in the community are supportive, good people, I have no moral qualms with taking advantage of the situation.

Very Cool.

Observing it from another part of the world for a long period, I've got to say the US Guzzi community can be both touching and amazing!

Get well, Chuck!

All a man can ask is to have good friends and to pee with velocity....

pee with velocity....

I used to be able to do that.

At least it still comes out when asked to.

twhitaker · « **Reply #14 on:** March 24, 2016, 01:36:15 PM »

One drop per minute, while not very high, is still velocity.

Please be my guest! How long 'til your, um... 'motorcycle area' is ready to ride?

Called Jim Barron today, and thanked him for the Goodie Box. He said, "I know you would have said, " In lieu of flowers, please send oil for my motorbike.." so I did."

Like I said, gotta love the Guzzi community.. and Jim's a big part of it.

Yeah, he told me he'd followed the Aero Lario build when I rode it up to show him last Summer.

Don't know you Chuck, but I like the way you place importance on decency. Don't know you either boat detective, but maybe you're taking the piss, which in Australia means I hope you're joking. If you're not, I half hope that you encounter something like Chuck and the circling vultures above your head shit on you from a great height, but not high enough so it cools too much on the way down. All the best Chuck, I hope sitting with your Guzzi and having a beer with your buddies ,(mates), helps you feel ok. Huzo.

He was indeed "taking the piss". This crowd takes some getting used to.

Huzo · « **Reply #27 on:** March 24, 2016, 09:16:19 PM »

Ok then, I understand that dark humor very well, most decent Aussies have it. In that case if he was joking, then so was I.

Huzo · « **Reply #28 on:** March 25, 2016, 12:27:42 AM »

And also, if that's what I think it was, then I never will "get used to it".

Oh, not to worry. I've met Boat Detective, and he was just yanking my chain. You are fairly new here, but I'm not.. and know many of the denizens personally. I consider most on here my far flung and gloriously dysfunctional family.

Thanks for your concern, though.. seriously. There *has* been a lack of decency occasionally lately.
