Best of luck Joey.....

Well at least it will hopefully lead to more trips on your Harley and more photos from those trips for us all to enjoy......

But a sad story all the same and my thoughts are with you as you move forward......

When I read your OP the thought occurred to me, "I can only imagine how many lives this man has saved."

Hope you find joy and fulfillment in your new endeavor. Someone in your position certainly deserves a little less stress in their life at this point.

Sorry to hear about the ER attack. I'm thinking you should buy a grail watch to enjoy.

You have my utmost respect, sir! I was in a motorcycle accident, with a severed femoral artery and crushed leg. They saved my life, but I lost the leg. It was a horrifying experience.
