You are so right, a real man gives what he has to for the good of his family. You probably gave up your most prized possesion. Bless You!!

Default hang in there

I too had to sell my first Harley to take care of Family stuff. I had one of the First 2002 Firefighter Edition Road Kings. I had to sell it in 2004 and didnt have a bike till the summer of 2006. I ended up getting a 2006 Ultra Classic. I work way more than I would like too. My wife has been taking care of the kids and I am working my Fire shifts and as much off duty police work as I can. Normal to me is 2-4 off duty jobs a week but most times that I work I ride. Hang in there

Jeff

You did what you had to do. I am sure any one of us would do the same. I have 2 little girls that I would give the bike up in a second for if I had to. You'll be back, When times get tough the tough survive. Good luck to you.

Good luck. Stick around. You don't have to own a Harley to enjoy the forum, just want one.
