Man thanks bikers for saving his life!
Just received this by email:
"My name is Thomas Bressler. On October 11, 2009 a group of bikers from the Lancaster area saved my life. I am disabled and had a problem I was in eyesight of Route 125. The bikers were at the famous 3 1/2 mile straight section of the famous route doing their stunts. I lay there listening to them. The day was very cold and I checked my watched it was after 4:00 pm and I knew they would soon be heading for home. I could hear them coming in my direction and I was wearing a florecent green hat. I held it high and waved it as a signal for help. There must have been over a dozen passed and didn't see me signaling and the very last biker with his girl as a passenger passed last and she saw me and didn't know if I was just saying hello or I needed help. I could hear the biker coming back. He and his girl got off the bike and I told them I was desperate for help. I had gotten my pickup truck stuck in a mudhole around 8:30 in the morning I walk with a cane and must be on portable oxygen . Walking is at a minimum for me. I must have had to walk close to a mile and my portable oxygen ran out about half way there. I had to cross a stream and crawl a few embankments and couldn't crawl or walk another inch to where I lay waiting for someone to resue me. I prayed to God for help and he answered my prayers with the bikers. Thank You Bikers." Thomas Bressler, Donaldson, Pennsylvania
