Greetings from Italy

[Paul Danik]

Maurizio,

    I am saddened to hear of the loss of Carlo. I would like to send you the jacket so you can do what is proper with it, maybe it will bring some cheer in a time of sadness.  Please send me your address at my email and I will ship the jacket to you.  [email protected]
   

    I looked in my program from Camerino and see that Carlo rode an Ossa 250, he also rode an Ossa 250 in the 1973 USA event, he won a gold medal in the USA, do you know how he did in Camerino?

Paul,
it's a fine action,  the "rugginose" forum members will resolve what to do with the jacket. Carlo is riding his Ossa in the clouds now

Hey Mau, benvenuto sul sito del POG (welcome on POG website)e complimenti per il successo ottenuto dalla moto e dai Tuoi scritti ( and best wishing for the success of your bike pics and your writing notes). Credo che Tu mi abbia letto anche su rugginose, Ti avevo risposto riferendomi al Falk giallo ( I believe you read my post also on the rugginose web, where I answered you about a question regarding a yellow Falk fender). Ciao.
Paolo (an Italian in USA)(Penton Jackpiner and Harescrambler)

Paolo,
ho sempre apprezzato i tuoi interventi su rugginose  (I have always appreciated your participations on "rugginose" message board), in particolare le tue foto dei raduni Penton (in particular your photos of the Penton meetings).  La Penton six days è la preferita del mio harem, è sempre stata la mia moto preferita, così, quando è capitata l'occasione, ho deciso di acquistarla in meno di due minuti (the Penton six days is the bike I prefer so when I saw it I bought it in a moment).
Adesso sto restaurando una monark, ho chiesto l'iscrizione al sito sulle monark,ma non ho avuto risposta. Mi servirebbero gli adesivi e le guance in gomma del serbatoio e magari anche il codice colore del giallo monark, ma purtoppo il gestore del sito, che tra l'altro ha le sue moto pubblicate sull'ultimo numero di VMX, non mi caga proprio (I'm restoring a Monark now, I need of the decalcs and the knee pads and the yellow monark color code too, but the vintagemonark message board's administrator, his bikes are on Vmx magazine, doesn't answer me) .
Maurizio

Paul,
I spoke with the Carlo's friends and  they wish that the jacket remains in US in memorial of Carlo, because he loved US very much.
Maurizio

[Paul Danik]

Maurizio,

   Very well.  If later they decide differently my offer still stands.

Take care,
Paul

[mau10]

Ok Paul,
they are deeply touched by your gesture and they thank you for it.
Maurizio

TO: MAU10...

My name is Mark Holloway and I see from you post, you're having a hard time reaching me. The reason is that my mail servers are set to reject all mail from Italy due to the high volume of SPAM that comes from there. What I will do next week is open up ITALY to enable my mail servers to receive messages from Italy. Send your message to [email protected]. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm always fighting spam and currenly only allow mail from the US, Australia, England, Germany and of course, Sweden.

Best Regards,

Mark Holloway

Hi Mark, I reach the king of 125 finally!  vintagemonark.com is very cool.   Frankly, vintagemonark.com is fantastic.  I like monark very much and I bought a monark and  I'm restoring it now.  Thanks,   Maurizio

Way to go Paul, I am not sure that I would have done that,  but I hope that I would do the same given I was in your shoes.
Nice pictures too, I am in awe of anyone who is tough enough to ride a ISDT...... you guys rock!

It is almost 35 years since we rode across that swamp on those pallets, but I sure do remember that section.  I rode on number 81 in that event, much earlier than Carlo.  Carlo overcame this situation and still won a Gold Medal, great job.

I am very proud that Carlo rode my "WHITE OSSA SDR" at the US ISDT.
Looks like he had very good taste.

Paul,..I had it a bit easier with my little Zuendapp 125 GS.
Interesting to see at the picture,what "STILL YOUNG CARLO" did wrong.?
Instaed to lift the rear wheel first,using the steeringhaed as a pivotpoin,to place the rear on solid ground,and then lift the front wheel out,...
But he was young and the adrenalin was pumping,...
