I dont know if this has been posted, but HD Goose, (Gary the 7 foot giant) had a heart attack, he is in ICU, had stents put in and things look good. His better half does not want folks to contact him, but he just posted on facebook.  Gary is a longtime good friend of many here, regardless of you views.  Wish him well.
Cheers,

Get well Gary, Mom still talks about you rumbling into the Shell Creek RV Park in Punta Gorda, she heard that Guzzi coming down the road and she knew just what it was... 

Rest up so you can ride Buddy.

Best,
Rob

Good grief Goose! I'm sure I recommended not doing that when I had my one!  Stents are wonderful things though and you don't have to join the 'Zipper Club' to get them.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the other normal sized person. S'not fair!
 He's too young to be doing that.
I sure hope they can do a valve job or roto rooter the pipes or whatever it takes to keep him running.

I dont know if this has been posted, but HD Goose, (Gary the 7 foot giant) had a heart attack, he is in ICU, had stents put in and things look good. His better half does not want folks to contact him, but he just posted on facebook.  Gary is a longtime good friend of many here, regardless of you views.  Wish him well.
Cheers,
Jon

Oi!  Six foot seven inches he is, and a giant in the sense of number of Guzzis and Guzzi miles under his belt.   

Get well soon Gary, do what the therapist says, they can fix it and you'll be back on the road.  We may annoy you but we love really think a lot of you.

Thanks all for the well wishes. I guess I'm still here until I can visit Lanis!

One stint put in to relieve a 90% blockage. Will treat the 70% blockage with drugs. The hard part is the low sodium diet adjustments. Never been on a diet.

Had three phone calls yesterday from friends who have over come heart issues. Guess I'm officially old now. Comparing diets, pills and recovery processes.
