John,
You are very gracious and I would like nothing better than you doing a story on my daughter, thank you. However, unfortunately the bike was stolen. Can you believe that a guy approached me one afternoon at the storage unit and we discussed the bike then a couple months later came into the storage facility and cut the lock and took the bike, ramp, gas can and even the new forestry pipe I got so we could ride in the mountains? It was a terrible event. They had the truck on survalance video but couldnt get the plates.
I guess my bad luck was just begining for me here lately as my truck was stolen, the bike was stolen and I practically lost my job all within the last six months. My daughter and I talked about it and turned it into a learning experience at best.
I know you divorced Dad's out there know what I am talking about when you lose the vehicle you worked so hard to develop in order to reach out to your child when they live with her mother and you only see them less time than you would prefer.
With todays distractions and them growing up in this day and age what with texting and the pressures of being a teenager, this bike allowed my daughter and I the vehicle in order to communicate and build a bond. She would come back to camp and tell me how incredible it was to ride and we often turned that into things happing at school, school and classes, etc.. I am currently looking for another bike. Thanks again John for your story offer, perhaps in the coming months this story will begin to get brighter.
