Hey Guys, just wanted to reflect on how your life can change drastically over night, or in an instance for that matter. You may think,as I did, that life is going OK despite the many difficulties we all face. I had some nice bikes and other toys I acquired, despite not really affording them...some have probably been there.I have not been on the site much in the last few years, as my priorities have changed somewhat you might say.I don't want to bum everyone but,a few things have happened;2016.. step-daughter passed ,cancer, Dad passed away. Spent new years 2016 in hospital stage 4 cancer tumour removed,,,, thought I'd take my Ducati out this spring and had my 1st crash...write off and buggered my foot up. A week later my wife had a massive stroke and was in the hospital for 3 months. She is still messed up and has been back and forth to the hospital with seizures, and shortness of breath etc....New Years 2017 spent in the hospital again. Not exactly good conditions for healing cancer.. Now my priorities are doing a will and trying to liquidate what I can.. All the bikes and parts are up for sale. Talk about life's a bitch and then you die! Anyhow I am not looking for sympathy, ...GET A COLONOSCOPY WHEN YOU ARE 50.Don't be stupid like me and wait till it's too late. 1 in 2 or 3 people over the age of 50 are diagnosed with cancer nowadays, up from 1 in 20 100 years ago.Talk about population control...what a system, Anyhow just wanted to say thanks to this site and it's members...ENJOY EVERDAY AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER...CHEERS! Doug.
