Sounds like you need a tattoo of Brett Favre.
He didn't mention being Gay

Not trying to change your mind cause i know its useless,,just wanted to type that all out since i found it a little strange how a persons mind works in the last hours.
Fear does strange things to the human mind.

Already have my next bike in mind. The wife is going to be an impossible sell this time. I have three young kids... they weren't too happy with me either.

How about a bar and shield logo and inside it says:

I survived a motorcycle wreck on __/__/__

It's not religous, secular, political and tell folks what you want them to know without them having to look at it guess what it is or ask what it means.

Had a crash on my Road King as well.

Did get a firebird (re-birth from the ashes of one-self) on my back, but it was for other reasons (epiphany of sorts).

Getting to Val Halla is a privilege and a rite of passage to the (we) Norse...

Good luck in finding something; as, to me, it is personal....
