Observing this worldwide community for awhile, I am amazed at the generosity of it's members, who for the most part have never met each other. Somebody breaks or needs something, and within minutes somebody steps forward and offers to send that needed bit in the mail.
I have been the receipient of foot pegs, Union Jack buff, cool patches and am probably forgetting other stuff.
What have you been the fortunate recipient of?

Union Jack buff, Ace cafe patch, EU rally patch (two even), music, and I'm sure I'm forgetting other things but the most important to me was the time when I needed help and the group in Daytona jumped over hurdles to help me out so I could be on the road with them. That was the most important gift to me, friendship. It's priceless.

I hear tell that the factory have indeed added an extra shift on the production line to maintain a steady supply.

Definately friends. The last two weeks has proved that to me.
And great experiences. Last year I didn't do half the things I have this year. Next year I plan to do even more! Sweden... and Australia are calling.

Physical bits and bobs which have been much appreciated, but the friends and experiences are the best bit for me.

I gave a polished shifter rod and a very high dollar 12v diode. Ok, so the stamp cost more than the diode. Still recieving; a ton of priceless information.

Charlie (bad406) and Don (Grump) sent parts when I needed them and they would not take anything in return, wouldn't even let me pay them for postage!
Lot's of information made some friends! Does it get any better than that?

Reido113 was nice enough to send me a homemade shifter rod strengthener for absolutely nothing. He wouldn't even accept postage. Heck of a nice guy, I'd say!
