Title: Why do you guys do this?
Post by: ducpainter on August 24, 2012, 03:14:20 PM
I received a package today via UPS.

I looked at the senders addy and thought...

Ca-Cycleworks???

I didn't order anything.

Maybe some one bought something and had it shipped to me for paint...I don't remember any discussion/conversation about that.

So I open the box...right on top...

is an envelope...says NATE on the front.

I figure since it has my name on it that it's for me so I open it.

Inside is a single sheet of paper...printed on a computer...

to protect the guilty...reading...

QuoteNate,

From your fellow Monster enthusiasts.
A token of our care and respect.

In appreciation of your hard work and commitment to the Ducati Monster Forum.

The DMF'ers

So I look a little deeper inside and find...

I'd take a pic, but we left our camera in VT the last time we were there over the July 4th weekend. We'll get it over the Labor Day weekend.  ;D I'm only a little better than IZ_ at photography so the pro shots on Chris' website are waaaaay better than I could do.

First I gotta say...you must really be a bunch of DMF'ers to think I deserve such a generous gift.

Second I say thank you...

I got nothing else. [bow_down]

If you want to retun them let me give you my address. I think the return address on the box is wrong.  ;D


Anyway good for you.

I just came across this as I don't venture to this section much. I was checking out the messed up Jesus painting [bang] [laugh].

Good for you DP, kind of reminds me of when my wife got me some FCRs as a gift (and no fellas, she's got no sisters).

Now to fit and tune them [evil]. Will be watching for the tech thread.

I wish I could say I was in on this, but I wasn't.  It is absolutely well deserved though.

I figured with all your 900 tuning expertise...

you'd be on a flight by now.  [laugh]

...anyone have an airbox lid for a carby?

Probably will try Koko's airbox mod too. ;)

It is a mobile service, but the call out fee would be a killer [laugh].
