  • Just got this THANKS e-mail

    Hi Connie- not sure who my last email went to but, in sum, I was thanking Vance Harrelson and his friends for the great help in fixing my flat tire during the recent trip to the rally at West Bend, Ws. Not sure what this senior citizen biker would have done if they had not come along; In any case, totally as a result of their efforts I was able to get to the rally safely and on time. My originaly message might have gone directly to Vance and hopefully he will share it with you; thanks again to all. Warren Johnson, Grand Forks, ND 701-746-1636

    Thanks Vance and whomever was in your group. You guys are what the Beemer world is all about.

    Wow, this is one of those little things that you do without even giving it a second thought. We saw Mr. Johnson stopped on a roadside with a very large hole in his rear tire. He had called for roadside assistance almost two hours before. We were returning to our cabin from a day ride to Bayfield on Lake Superior. Vance Tim and I stopped to see if we could help. Vance had a Stop & Go tire plugger and a compressor. After a group effort and a couple of attempts, We got Mr. Johnson back in service. He followed us back to our cabin where we checked his tire again, added more air and gave hm directions to Merril Wis., where he was to stay the night. Glad we were able to help and glad to know he thought enough about our help to send this post.

      Gator, I replied to his email and made sure he knew you and Tim were in the rescue party. I guess he had my name form the busimess card I gave him! Anyway, I let him know it was no big deal. I too have been on the side of the road before. And we all know "what goes around comes around"! Glad we could help him!

        Gator, Vance, and Tim, naturally, you guys are being modest. What you did separates the BMW riders from the rest. I applaud you for your efforts.

          Thanks Jamie. I hope that someone would do the same for me if the situation was reversed. Sometimes in this day and age people forget the "Golden Rule". AsVance said what goes around. It doesn't take much time and effort to be nice and helpful to someone in trouble. It's just nice to know that there are still people out there that appreciate it.
