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.

Hey man. From one stranger to another. I'm glad you're still here. Keep on going, stay awesome.

You found the dream biker babe? Nice.

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?

I don't even remember what kind of gun exactly, it was going to be a handgun at least .38 caliber.

Wait a minute, you're not married to my partner, I'M married to her!
