Nick Keller reached 90,000 miles yesterday afternoon on his Yamaha 2010 Vector GT! Even better, he hit 90,000 right here in our parking lot at Pat's Motorsports and Sno Goer Magazine was here to interview him. I also happen to be in a meeting with my Regional Manager, District Manager, and our Snow Development engineers from Yamaha so they were able to witness it as well. Nick hit 90,000 miles in 316 days of snowmobiling. I referenced the 316 to him and he didn't even realize the significance of the number. When my wife mentioned it to him his eyes welled up. Coincidence? I think not! Nick has raised a lot of money for his cancer foundation helping many people, he's a true hero!! We're all very blessed to see him as much as we do right here in the U.P. He's a special person and we're glad to call him family. What Nick does brings snowmobilers together and that's important to our sport so when you get time give a shout out to Nick and all he does for not only families struggling with cancer but for our sport. It doesn't matter what brand you ride, what matters is your passion for the sport and what it takes to keep it going. When Nick is around people gravitate to him and what he does and at that time I've noticed nobody is looking down to see what their ****s are sitting on! They're only interested in his story and his cause. Now does seeing Nick accomplish so much on his Yamaha brand make me happy? Being a Yamaha dealer since 1989 of course it does! But more often that not it's his cause that catches my attention as so many of us have been impacted by cancer. I'm proud to know Nick Keller but I'm honored to be considered his friend. Thanks for all you do Nick! God Bless you and your family! If you get time please visit Nick Keller's site at www.snowballcancer.org and we do have a pledge sheet right here at Pat's if you wish to donate. You can pledge a one time amount or by the mile. Thanks to all who ride and have helped his cause!!
