Rick Nelson has been named one of only five Key Volunteers for 2012 by BMW Motorcycle Owners of America. “I was very surprised when I opened my mail,” he said. While he was surprised those of us who have been around him for any length of time are not. He is always willing to help on a project with his expertise and labor.
The award came with a key and a framable certificate. “I don’t have room in my trailer to hang this,” bemoaned Rick. Helpful friends at our coffee group suggested that he frame the certificate with a hi-viz orange frame and wear it on his back while riding. It would be a safety device that encourages volunteerism.
Note the enormous key under the fingers on his right hand. The MOA key is engraved with his name.
Congratulations Rick for this distinctive national honor.
Congrats. Rick What an honor and we are so proud of you.

I can personally attest to Rick’s capacity and willingness to help those…..er…less talented or knowledgeable. After he helped me put on a new alternator belt on my ’04 1150RT, I asked him if he would look at a flourescent lighting fixture at my wife’s business. He agreed it was the ballast and casually suggested we go to the hardware store and replace it…..which we promptly did. or should I say he did. Yes I should. Thanks again Rick!
