Bad News

Hey Guys/Gals,

You probably have noticed I have not been on for awhile. Well, I have been busy with my Mom. She had cancer previously, and now it is back. Back in a bad way. It is all over her body. The Doc stated she has anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months left. We are hoping radiation and Kemo will extend it, but no guarantees.

To add to this, I may lose my bike. I was unable to finance the bike in my name because of credit problems, so she did it in her name. I have made the payments, but that does not matter now.

Anyways, I'm not looking for sympathy.

I thought you all deserved to know what was going on. If I'm not able to ride with you guys anymore, please honk your horn when you pass by fort pierce. I love you guys and thank you all for everything you have done for me.

Remember, keep the rubber side down.

Bye,
Murphy

I do not see why you would loose the bike because of this, as long as your making timely payments dont sweat it. just make payments, dont ride up and tell the bank she is gone here is the bike. force their hand, your mother wanted you to have it enough to help, hang onto it best you can.

My mother has fought with and beat cancer 3 times now, Im hopefull it stays gone this time and she is ritement age so its a pretty good bet she has many years. But I am very sorry to hear about your mother, hang in there and be strong!!

I agree Murph...don't tell them nada, just keep making the payments...
Man it seems like the Crew just can't catch a break anywhere lately, Murph I'm sorry to hear about your Mom, but medicine has come along way in recent years, and the Big C ain't as invincible as it once was...my Mom beat breast cancer and she's now a spry 85 yr old...keep yer chin up and give ya Mom all the love and support you can...you've got the Crew behind you!!

Dang Murph,

So sorry to hear about all that. It is bad news but you have to stay positive! Negativity is not good for you or your mom. Will keep you guys in our prayers.
