I would just like to say a big thank you to all you fantastic people on this site. I have only been a member for a short time but I have been made to feel very welcome and have had some extremely nice comments on the work I have been doing.  Not going to go into details but I am fighting with depression, some days are ok, some days are bad and a just a few are good. Since being on this site I have had more good days than in a long time and I thank all of you.    Russ

I think it is safe to say that many here have enjoyed your posts and envy your machining skills and tools. I look forward to your build posts and watching your projects. You are a good fit with this motley crew of misfits.  :drinks:

Works both ways....We are fortunate to have you Russ. Your creativity and abilities are evident and refreshing.

Building a bike is a form of therapy, sure, but the real joy is getting out and riding it while meeting other members of this forum.

Don't fuck around with depression. It will take you out. Talk to a pro, get advice.  We want you to thrive.

Howdy Russ,
I been associated with this bunch a few years now. They were key to my FJ's resurrection. I am continually impressed with the generosity of help from the group and yes very welcoming to the new members. I only wish I were able to contribute more... but they will just have to settle for my occasional smart ass remarks. Hope you can make it to a rally. :drinks:
