Are there mortorcycles in Heaven

I have been reading posts here for awhile. I lost my husband on 11/23/15. He had a very long hard battle with cancer and we thought we had it on the run. Turns out, Cancer won AGAIN! I have been doing my very best to cope with loosing him. We would have been married 18 years on 12/10/15. I managed with that and even made it OK with Christmas and New Year. I live in the midwest and it has been mostly cold and nasty since he passed. Today was a gorgeous day. Sunny and 65 degrees out. I forced myself to leave the house (I really haven't much desire to leave) My Jim was an avid motorcycle enthusiast. I can vividly remember him get real "itchy" on days like this. and soon I would hear the bike start up and away he would go. May only be gone a half hour or so, but he would definitely get in a little ride as soon as he possibly could. Today, there were so many people out on bikes enjoying the day. I could not do anything but cry. I have had lots of days where I just cry and cry. But today was really bad, I was angry because I know how he looked forward to that first ride of the season. Angry because he wasn't here to take that ride today. Angry that he will NEVER have another ride. I have told myself since his passing, that he was no longer in pain and could mostly console myself with that. I miss him terribly. I have been hurting since he had to leave, but at least he has not been hurting. He was in so much pain and hurt all the time and I know he only fought so long and hard because of me/ But I am having a real hard time consoling myself that he missed out on his first bide ride of the season. Do you think there are motorcycles in Heaven...?

I kinda know what you mean and how you feel. It was the first nice day here too and i couldn't handle it because my boyfriend always hated winter and made him depressed even in a way. I couldn't help but think if he would have been here with me one week longer he would have loved how warm and sunny it was today. Everything makes me think of him right now but i really wish he could have felt the sun on his face one last time. I think whatever you love the most is in heaven with you so your husband must have his motorcycle with him.

My husband was also a biker and I rode behind him. The first summer after his death I had to park the car I was crying so hard after seeing a couple on a bike.
I'm sorry for your loss and am glad you found us. It was my life line for me. Sharon

Today I drove to the town my husband lived in, while we were dating, and then when we got married, moving all his stuff, ffor about 3 months, about 2 to 3 times a week. The place he lived in, was cut in half, they finally added ac/ and heat, and they added windows, in the fromt half. Then I remembered the times we went to red lobster, and this other steak house, very sweet, fond memories, much better memories than finding my sweet husband under the truck, passed away.. god bless each and everyone of you. . and love as well, carla

My wife enjoyed a bite of cake, any kinds of cakes being fruit, cheese, anything. I recently saw a chat message she wrote in her Wechat account about a cake and I cried uncontrollably. Does Heaven have cakes? Absolutely, just like it has motorcycles...absolutely....But the difference is that Heaven has unlimited supply....and no need to worry about the bad weather....

Well, I can't answer a question about heaven without interjecting just the tiniest bit of my faith (tiny because honestly I do not want to offend anyone that may believe different or not at all). My reply is kind of far out, so take it or leave it -- just a tidbit of information on what you ask that is floating around in my head. I've heard two different messages from Jesse Duplantis (a Christian ministry). In one at Joel Olsten's father's church many years ago, he tells about being taken up to heaven and he saw some kind of vehicles people were in. In another, he asked the Lord if He wanted to go for a ride on his (Jessee's) motorcycle, and the Lord said, Yes, got on and went for a ride with him and had fun -- Lord even told Jessee where to go as they had a divine appointment with a man. Well, if you believe in a God that is the Creator of the whole universe, then having motorcycles in heaven seems to me to be but a small thing for Him. Truth is, we can all speculate and hope, but nobody knows until they get there. I for one am a firm believer in us getting what we believe for -- in heaven as it is in earth. Interesting to think about. ~~ Scottie

I am so sorry for your loss and your pain. Amy had her own Harley and used to drag race for an all ladies drag team out of CA. She could ride with the best of them. It's hard going for a ride with her not by my side. She rode there for 20 years and although I still ride quite often it's not the same. I've lost a lot of brothers over the years for various reasons and I picture Amy riding with them in heaven her long curly hair blowing in the wind. I hope to ride with her again one day. Peace ~Pete

Marylou & I were always interested in different theories of Spirituality and the Afterlife..."Theories" being the operative word, because nobody really "knows"...and we always tried to have open minds about it. I personally believe (as does Marylou) that most people who claim to be psychics and mediums are phonies, although we believe that there are a handful of them that are for real. I will not mention names, because it is impossible to know who they are. One person who claims to be a medium describes the Afterlife as being even more physical and "real" than the present earthly reality...where people have "jobs" and such, and function alot like we do on earth. That medium makes a very strong case for it, and we would have to assume that there are definitely motorcycles in Heaven.
But ultimately, we believe that God is the magician here...and if there are no motorcycles in Heaven, then that's only because God's got something that is even cooler than motorcycles, if you can imagine that.
That possibility is presented in neurosurgeon Eben Alexander's description of a Near Death Experience he had in 2008: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbkgj5J91hE

Of course there are motorcycles in heaven. My Tim and I each had our own bikes. I still ride and I know he is right by me on his motorcycle in heaven. I truly believe that everything that brought you joy in this life is also there in your afterlife
So try to find a smile when the weather is nice remembering how much joy he found on his motorcycle.
Hugs, Sandi

I always wanted to learn to ride a bike and get one but never did. My wife grew up around them and one of our goals was to get a bike and go for rides after retirement. I don't have the heart to get one now. I am counting on them being in heaven so my wife and I can finally go on that ride together. After all Heaven is suppose to be paradise and that would certainly fit the definition.
Peace, Tim

I believe so. I always pictured my husband flying with the angels, and running with all our dogs that crossed the rainbow bridge. We used to ride our bike through the country in the Amish community. The fields were beautiful, and the horses out of this world. Colts would run the length of their pastures, manes and tails flying in the wind. Sometimes he'd go by himself, and tell me about resting by the fences and cows visiting him with their heads leaning over the fence. He was happy and at peace. Yes, I do believe those happiest of memories pass over with us, and are a reality.

Every year hundreds of motorcycles pass by my house, as it is a scenic route through Northern Arkansas. I will wave to them as I see them next, and say a prayer for Jim. He would have loved this route.

I have a bike and my wife rode behind me. She would have loved to have her own but because of stroke years before her passing she didn't have the strength on her right side to hold a bike up. I still ride but miss her behind me.
