My Dreams were Dashed Today
I have been planning a motorcycle trip for over a month now. I left early this morning as this dream became a reality. I had made all the preparations, spent $1200.00 on Motorcycles repairs, accessories, etc. so I could make this trip.
I got to the Kentucky state line and my Motorcycle starting missing real bad. I turned around and started back home and got within about 60 miles and it quit. I had to call my wife and have her come get me with a trailer. When I got it loaded, the trailer tire were flat so, I had to jack it up, take the tires off and take them to be aired up, the re-install them. I got back home about 7:29 pm tonight.
My wife has made my day miserable and has jumped all over me for this trip and now it is even worse. I hate this and am even more stressed now. Tomorrow me and the mechanic are going to go round and round about this. I just spent about $900.00 of the $1200.pp mentioned above, on this "missing" issue with him, last week.
I am devastated, hurt, disappointed, mad, stressed, upset, and a whole lot of other emotions and feelings that I won't mention.

Are You Going To Start OVER ??
Your Trip, That IS ?
Love Ya, Barbara
As disappointing as it is, there is a reason you didn\'t make it any farther than you did this time. God needs you not to be there right now. Maybe for your good, maybe for someone else\'s good. Don\'t give up. Try to be still so you can hear His plan for you.
You\'re trip will happen. Don\'t give up!
((Hugs)) Rachel
dont let it get to you, just think of it as a delay, get it fixed and go on. We are having rain bad her in Indy, hope you didnt wait to late for this. Keep your chin up. Big hugs Debbie
I have spent about all I could, to make this dream possible. I can\'t afford another large repair bill on my Harley. I think the mechanic should make some type of restitution or fix it for parts cost alone with no labor but, I doubt of that happens. We shall see tomorrow. I am very stressed, and very upset about all of this. I feel like I am such a failure. I have never asked for much and this trip was something I have wanted to do for years and something I had really desired these last few months. I really don\'t understand.
Peewee I am so sorry... and I am also sorry I missed your birthday.. a special occasion to celebrate you and I do my friend.. I have to agree though with Rachel.. there are reasons for everything...I believe we are supposed to be where we are at any given time.. sometimes that is hard to get when we are low.. God loves you and so do I..xx
sorry my dear. this trip was needed badly. maybe you could hide out in a hotel for a few days just to get away from it all and think about things. life is never as bad as we make it. there is usually something worse in someone else\'s life. we just have to roll with the punches sometimes and look for the rainbow to lead us to our own personal pot of gold. hang in there friend
OLDBIKER, PLEASE READ EVEN IF IT GETS YOU MAD!!!: I know you will not want to hear a word of what I am going to say and might be angry but I have to say all of this: EVERYTHING happens for a reason!! God has plans that we can not ever understand. God\'s will is more than we can understand and yes, seems cruel and not fair. But I believe even though this has been your dream but for some reason God in His own wisdom does not wish this journey for His own reasons. We as humans make this one huge mistake we get out expectations WAY too high and then we crash really really hard when they dont work out and this is what has happend to you. Please, go to a quiet place, (do you have a prayer closet) anyway, please, get quiet, commun with God, talk about this with Him. Yell at Him if you want, He can take it! Get it all out, but then, listen and let Him take over and hopefully you will get an answer but at least maybe some peace and acceptance in this situation. He does not want you in this state you are in. Please find peace and acceptance and His love for you and know that His will is best even though we dont agree or understand!
Peace and Love,
Allison
