Katiepie, you hang in there. I'm glad you've made the recoveries you have, both physically and emotionally. You've come from a deep dark place and it's great to hear that you're happier and more confident now.
To hell with people who fling insults. There are so many people on here who helped you, who knew what a bike means to a rider, who thought it would be a good thing for you when you could walk out and see it. And those people did that and so many other things because you are one of us, someone who'd fallen on hard times. If they helped you get up it was because they wanted to help one of us who was in a spot of trouble. And I am in awe of the courage and strength you've displayed getting back to where you are now.
I know people can be nasty. I left a riding group because of the way some women spoke to my wife because she had no inclination of ever riding a bike and because of how one sports bike rider abused me for buying a cruiser. If you're a bike rider, it is really just you and your two wheeled stead - if you're riding with a group of friends or riding on your own. I hope you find some riding friends, but remember you're riding a bike which has in it's frame all the love from those people who helped put it back together for you, who have followed your journey and who wish you all the best.
Onwards and upwards Katiepie
