    In the early 2000’s, I bought a 1986 Honda XL250R. Just an old dirt bike.

    The motorcyckle shop was across the road from the pawn shop I was originally going to buy a gun from, for the express purpose of taking my own life, for reasons that made sense at the time.

    Since I bought that bike, I’ve made friends, learned a lot of new skills, and I met the best person in existence, who I am now married to. I passed on a final exit, and ended up with a pretty great life.

        She’s less “biker babe” and more “hot witch wife”.

        She did talk me into buying a new motorcycle a couple of weeks ago. I traded in two worn out old bikes for one 2023 Nightster.

      That’s really awesome, glad ypu’re here with us. I hope this shows people that even when you’re at your lowest point (or perceived lowest point), it’s not hopeless.

      What kind of gun were you gonna get though?
