Hard to believe I am saying this, but this echoes my sentiments exactly and my beloved Fatboy was sold yesterday.

The deciding factor was a coworker being put on life support after being hit by a tourist and hearing about his kids holding a bedside vigil.

He was wearing a helmet and they believe it saved his life, even though he has major head damage.

I can't wrap my head around the thought of missing my yearly daddy daughter dance or attending it in a wheelchair, despite the freedom and pleasure my Harley has given me for so many years.
