What she loves most about her motorcycle. How she feels riding etc. AAAHHH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I BOUGHT MY MOTORCYCLE WHILE I WAS GOING THROUGH CHEMOTHERAPY. MY BOYFRIEND, AT THAT TIME, WAS AN AVID RIDER. SITTING BEHIND HIM MADE ME FEEL FREE. WHEN WE WERE ON HIS BIKE, I FELT AS IF, WITH EVERY TURN, I LEFT A LITTLE SOMETHING BEHIND ON THE ROAD. I LEFT MY STRESS, I LEFT MY PROBLEMS, I LEFT MY ANGER, I LEFT MY SADNESS, I EVEN LEFT MY HAIR ONE DAY ON THE ROAD. LOL. HIS ENCOURAGEMENT TO RIDE MY OWN WAS MOTIVATIONAL, TO SAY THE LEAST. IT GAVE ME SOMETHING TO STRIVE FOR & THINK ABOUT DURING CHEMO. SO, WHEN I WAS ALMOST DONE WITH MY FIRST ROUND OF CHEMO, I BOUGHT MY MOTORCYCLE. WOW, WAS THAT SCARY! HERE I WAS, SICK, NO ENERGY, NO HAIR, NO BREASTS TO FILL OUT THE "BIKER TANK TOP," STILL HAD MONTHS TO GO ON CHEMO AND WHAT WAS I DOING... BUYING A MOTORCYCLE. WHO DOES THAT !?! ME!!! THAT'S WHO. A SURVIVOR IN LIFE !! JOHN REMINDED ME THAT I WILL SURVIVE WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH AND THAT THE OPEN ROAD WAS READY & WAITING FOR ME. NOW, WHEN I GET ON MY BIKE, I SMILE AND I MELT RIGHT IN TO MY SEAT.... AS IF IT WERE MADE JUST FOR ME. SO, WHEN YOU SEE ME ON THE OPEN ROAD AND YOU GIVE ME A NOD OR "THE WAVE", KNOW THAT I AM SMILING BACK AND SAYING "THANK YOU"..... THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING ME BECAUSE I MATTER. I MATTER TO MY CHILDREN, MY DAD AND MY FRIENDS... AND SO DO YOU !!!! YOU MATTER.
Who are these pics for? THESE PICTURES ARE FOR ME, FOR MY CHILDREN.... AND FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LOOK AT THEM. THESE PICTURES ARE OF A REAL PERSON, WHO IS STILL HERE, LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
