I appreciate the support and kind words. In hind sight I see how I got where I am, but I sure did not see it coming. However it is not the end of the world, just feels like it right now. It is truly only a setback from which I will recover in time. I will still peruse the forum from time to time and chip in a comment here and there. I am sure at some point I will get another bike, just not sure now when and what that will be. Until then ride safe and keep the shiny side up.

Now that is a fantastic attitude. I love hearing at my friend!
Well the sun has come out again. Over the weekend I was able to get myself out of the panic mode I was in when it seems like I would have to sell my bike. After spending the weekend in conversation with my wife and family I came up with a plan to overcome the perceived problem and allow me to keep my motorcycle. One of the things I learned from this is that my dear wife loves me very much. She does not like me riding the motorcycle, it scares her. She however knows how much it means to me and counselled me against making any quick decisions. So after I slowed down and gave myself room to think I was able to take all the suggestions I had received and come up with a plan to keep my bike. The other thing I learned is that when panic arrives reason departs. Thank you all my friends for our support. I hope to see each of you soon out on the road.
