Been a bad very bad week. My position was terminated, I fell down the stairs at home. My son cut his finger so bad he had to go to the hospital. Then today I find out my sister in law, so beautiful and full of life when I saw her last weekend, is on life support and not expected to live. Went to see her and it was just horrible. She has five kids. :cry: Live life while you can, you never know.

Wow, all that at once? Sheesh. Life is made up of seasons. Some of them hurt badly, but you'll come out into the sunshine again. Hopefully sooner than later. What happened to your SIL? You'll be in our thoughts and prayers, dude.

Hey Mr Softie !

sorry to here about your misfortunes and other issues.

I was terminated Dec 5.

I just renegotiated ins for the bike from $512/yr to $341/yr. Money is tight.

I was also thinking of going for a bigger bike before the job loss. Now I will pass on that idea. Besides Busy is proving as have others that the 250 can get you there and back.

If the bike can't keep up (100 k/hr) then I will trade it in but as I already almost had my liscence suspended for going 125 k/hr in an 80 k/hr zone I don't see the need for more speed.

Finding a new job will require me to go back to school. I'm 58 +. Can't retire yet.

Good luck !
