OH how well I understand! I was saving up to have
my bike dyno tuned but my 16 year old daughter took
care of that when she rear ended a car a month or two
back, but she is my daughter and i love her more than
my bike and i want the best for her.

Been there, done that. You did the right thing. You'll get yours back ten fold in other ways.

The quality of your life will be determined by the character of your children. You're teaching them well. Your sacrifice speaks loudly to your children. With three kids of my own, two of whom are in college (private schools no less!), some things just have to wait. Our children come first.

Your family is your "gang" and thier smiles are your "colors". You are a stand-up mf'er when you keep the family safe and promote thier future.
