Guest ReinyRooster Posted April 20, 2008 #1 Posted April 20, 2008 Let me tell you what is so good about this group!! Over the past year or two I have mentioned how I am having issues with the suspension on my '87 VR and was thinking maybe I should swap out the rear shock. The last thread about that was probably about 6 months ago at least, and died away as they all do and that was pretty much the end of that discussion. A few days ago out of the blue I get a PM from Gibvel, offering me a used rear shock for the cost of the shipping! We discussed various shipping options and then I started a thread to see if we could organize a relay to get the shock to me. That thread died and it appeared as though I would have to pay to have the shock shipped to me.....no big deal. Then out of the blue Leadwolf56 contacts me and offers to bring the shock up to my neighbourhood when he comes up this summer if I can get it to him from Gibvel's. These are two guys that don't owe me anything, that really don't even know me and yet kept me in mind with an offer of the shock, and an offer of delivering the shock to me. If I wasn't such a macho kinda guy right now, I could almost get a little misty here!:rotf: Gibvel and Leadwolf56 are great examples of what this site and this group is all about - people sharing a common interest and helping each other out. Gentleman....I tip my hap to you both and obviously say a big THANKYOU. I am proud to be a member of this group.
Squidley Posted April 21, 2008 #2 Posted April 21, 2008 Well I know you and that does scare me....but your right, they are 2 of the best folks we have here. Both I consider good friends and I know that I couldn't have done a lot of things without them....this is a cool place no matter what anyone says
Marcarl Posted April 21, 2008 #3 Posted April 21, 2008 When it arrives and you ned some help for the install, I have a very large hammer and an extra big screwdriver, and if that don't work there is a 2-ton come-a-long around here somewhere.
bongobobny Posted April 21, 2008 #4 Posted April 21, 2008 Actually, I will be going up to Green Acres sometime next week, not this week, to meet up with Wizard765 if that can be of any assistance to you...
Guest ReinyRooster Posted April 21, 2008 #5 Posted April 21, 2008 Appreciate the offer Bobby, but first I have to get it shipped to Leadwolf56's place, then he'll bring it when he comes up this way. Carl....the thought of you and a big hammer just scares me!!
DragonRider Posted April 21, 2008 #6 Posted April 21, 2008 I still owe a couple of guys in NC for coming down to Atlanta and help me fix my 1st gen.............They brought parts and tools, that is what this group is all about...........family. And I dont care what that recently retired member said about this place, when you have a family this big, your gonna have a few black sheep..................:whistling: Appreciate the offer Bobby, but first I have to get it shipped to Leadwolf56's place, then he'll bring it when he comes up this way. Carl....the thought of you and a big hammer just scares me!!
