It is our great pleasure to announce that member t-man403 (Terry) has been awarded a Lifetime Premium Membership by Vertical Scope, the VolusiaRiders Forum Staff and his fellow members of the forum for his kind, selfless and highly professional work in helping a fellow rider regain a long-owned, well-loved and special motorcycle.

To capsulize a truly wonderful story with nearly insulting brevity: Terry, who lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada encountered near his home a fellow rider from Alabama, US, whose bike - a high-mileage vintage Honda Valkyrie - had mysteriously failed when its rider was so far from home.

Terry "bought" the bike from its distressed owner and helped him acquire a new ride on which to get home. Terry then rebuilt the original bike into primo working condition and, not content with that, rode it to Alabama and returned it to its original owner!

People don't get any nicer than that - or nicer than the many members of this and another motorcycle forum who helped defray the cost of repair parts needed for the crippled Valkyrie.
