[QUOTE="Zolton, post: 351124, member: 10643"] I learned to live life for today. In 2007 I found out I had cancer. I had 3 surgeries followed by chemotherapy and radiation every day for seven weeks. I dropped to 130 lbs and looked like death. Then, a woman whom I had a crush on back in high school (some 32 years ago) phoned me out of the blue. Her husband had been killed at work less than a year prior. I'm divorced. We started dating and I took her for a few rides on my somewhat neglected SV650. She had never been on a bike before but loved it. She knew that I love to go on long bike trips so..... having just lived through what we both had, we agreed that I should start looking for a bike that could take us both on those same long trips. We bought an '06 FJR and on Halloween and hit the road for a five day trip before the snow fell. The bike is in the garage for the winter and we can't wait to get back on it. It's been quite a year! :) [/QUOTE]
