• John "Iffy" Martin, Tim "Pumper" Shanno, Chris "Catman" Larson - Summer, 2009.
  Mad Dog: I can't count the number of times these guys have helped me with projects on my bikes, both the R* and the Spyder. I'm not just talking turning a wrench, although they did do that. I'm talking manufacturing parts, actually I should say design and manufacture. We'd start on a project today and the part would be ready to install in a day or two.
  Also I can't leave out Pumper. Pumper lowned me his R* while he worked on Mine. Can ya beat that. Not only is he doing the work but he gives me his bike to ride while he's doing it!

• Denny "Mad Dog" Colello - Sept-Nov, 2009.
  EJ: A while back in the course of a conversation about the new house I was buying and related yard word, out of the blue, Mad Dog says he has a brand new hardly used self propelled lawn mower and that I could have it for free!
  - He also gave us (the Lost 202) a wall mount propane garage heater which is now in the Den providing great heat!
  - At the time we got those items out of storage, he also gave us an electronic dart game and 4 - 20 lb. propane tanks!
  - Another time I was lamenting that recently when I went to clean on of my hand guns, my cleaning kit did not work with one of the guns. The ram rod was to thick to fit in the barrel. The next day I noticed a plastic bag on my work bench in the garage. There's two hand gun cleaning kits as well as 20 or 30 other miscellaneous cleaning tips and accessories.
  - While cleaning the Den carpet one time I mentioned needing to get a carpet sweeper as sweeping carpet with a broom is not very efficient or effective! The next day? You guessed it. Out in the Den is a small hand held vacuum cleaner and wand!
  - Oh and did I mention that the liquor cabinet in the Den used to be Mad Dog's gun cabinet? Yup, he donated that too!
  - On Thanksgiving my Son-in-Law was talking about wanting to try drying venison and making jerky... So the next day... Mad Dog delivers a food dehydrator to the garage and gives it to Heather & Donny!
  - After a bomfire at the Den I mentioned I could use a large magnet to get all the nails and hardware out of the fire pit. The next day, there's a magnet laying on my workbench!
  I'm prolly forgetting some things here now too... But thanks Dog for being so generous with things you had but didn't have a great need for anymore!
  You the man!

• Joe "Southsider" Basil (and Kathy too) - November, 2009.
  EJ: For giving Lucky & I their old kitchen range and dishwasher for free when they upgraded!

• "Matty" johnson - Nov-Dec, 2009.
  EJ: For riding around town with me most every day after work picking up wood pallets for Den Bonfires. And for hooking us up with his kids work for a small but regular supply of pallets!

• Jon Pauly - June, 2009.
  Mikey: His central air conditioning went out. Centerpoint Electric quoted him $2800 to replace. Mikey talked to Jon and Jon was able to hook him up with a new unit for a fraction of what Centerpoint wanted.
  Matty: Hot water heater went out. A new unit was around $350 but they wanted $1000 to install it. Matty picked up the unit, Jon helped him install it, and refused any payment for his effort. Way to go Jon!

• Iffy - May 29th, 2009.
  Marv: Had a catastrophic transmission failure on the way out to the Dells for the Soupless Run. Iffy hooked up his trailer and drove over 200 miles to pic up Marv and the bike. They didn't get back home until after 3 am. Thanks Iffy!

• Mikey - March 6th, 2009.
  EJ: I have had a fog light out on my truck since last summer. There was no point in replacing the bulb as the lense was broken by a kicked up rock most likely, any replacement bulb would just burn out anyway when it got wet.
  Mikey noticed one day and asked if I'd like him to order me a new light. Not only did he get me the new light at cost, which saved me $100. He had one of his boys at ABBRA install it for me, which saved me from having to crawl around on the ground! Good on ya Mikey!

• Uncamonk - February 15th, 2009.
  Wayne S: Yesterday on the way to the Int'l Bike Show pulling my trailer to bring the bike back, etc., my transmission blew out trailing a thick flume of hot trani fluid and filling the compartment with smoke. Ouch!!! I called a few folks I knew who lived up North by me and no luck. Had the Trooper towed to Bob & Steve's, partner at the show came and got the trailer to the show. I placed a call to Uncamonk who volunteered to help without hesitation. He came to the show, helped load the bike, load the rest of the exhibit stuff and drove me, the trailer and my bike home to Elk River. He's THE MAN. He also refused to take any money to reimburse him for gas, etc.

• Matty - September 8th, 2008. SCVR's Chili Feed.
  There is free beer at the Chili Feed but Mikey isn't really into beer and wanted a bottle instead. The bar was unable to sell any more off-sale liquor due to low supplies. Mikey was bummed out. When Matty heard about it, he made an offer for Mikey to drink off his bottle for as long as it would last! Good on ya Matty!
