Sad day indeed
« on: June 12, 2022, 02:34:04 PM »
Yesterday Dan and his wife came by with supper and picked up the last of the running motorcycles and scooters.  Difficult seeing the Majesty and BMW GS'S being loaded up. The end of a Era,  I've been riding since I was 8 years old. Difficult to admit it's over. Still have the project scooters in the garage to deal with at a later time.

I thought my life lost meaning when I quit flying. It was a major readjustment for sure but not missed are the stresses of dealing with that particular aircraft owner and skydivers in general. The meaning was made clear why that occupation and all the others never approached completion. Life has more meaning now.
Don't know the purpose of your stroke but I do know how important it is how you deal with it. Sounds like you are embarking well!

That is sad - good to still have the projects though. Sometimes I think I like the projects more than the riding.

Sorry to hear KK. Gives more time to work on getting fit enough to drive.  Then one day maybe, to ride again.

Sad indeed.  So sorry. There will be other things that grab your attention and interest within your abilities. Go for it.

Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee
The bell tolls for
