Dave Pearson, a neighbor and friend of mine, is currently ranked #1 in desert racing. He is a KTM Team rider. Everything he does in life centers around racing. He makes excellent money from KTM and his sponsors, so he only races. In addition, his bikes - both race and recreational - are free, as are his support vehicles.
Some years back, not that many considering how old I am, I was moderately competitive in local events on a quad, winning a handful of hare and hound events. Before the races, Dave and I would practice side-by-side until he got bored and left me to eat his dust.
Two days ago, he dropped in at the house and asked "Hey, I have a new KTM Super Enduro R that I don't have time to ride because the season just started. Would you break it in for me?" I was hesitant at first, not wanting to be taken advantage of because of our friendship. But, eventually I agreed, being the good neighbor that I am. Neighbor helping neighbor, don't you know.

My point? Sometimes the stars align, the heavens open, and God smiles down on his children.
