So Ellen and I come home from doing a benefit photo shoot for The Georgia Autism Group and pull into the driveway. At this moment I realize something is different. Sitting next to my beloved Speedy is a brand new set of tires. Upon closer inspection, I see not only are they the correct tires for my bike but there is a B.A. patch secured to them.
Anyone who saw me at the last Ga. rally can attest that I needed new tires last May. Well, the last few months have been financially challenging to say the least. Because of this my bike has sat, waiting patiently for new shoes. Apparently, at least six of my BA.com brothers and sisters took it upon themselves to help me out and bought some new tires.
So I know that my buddy, Thom Williams, had to be involved since he lives only about five miles from me. So I call him to ask if he mistakenly left something at my house..... "no mistake" he says and then proceeds to tell me that a group of friends got together ANONYMOUSLY and got them for me. He won't tell me who 'cuz he is sworn to secrecy.... darn him!!
Well, I was nearly in tears, to think that a group of people thought that highly of me humbles me beyond belief... I am extremely grateful and thank God daily for all my friends on this site. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those that were involved... your thoughtfulness is extremely generous..... everyone ride safe, Gordon
