The motorcycle you never saw me ride!

Any time I meet someone new they want to know how I ended up in a wheelchair. It is a genuine curiosity that everybody wants to know. If you know me very well I am easily approachable. I have no problem answering questions about anything. I can't tell you how many times I have told the story. Now, over time I just simply say I was in a bad motorcycle accident. The one thing I have never showed any body is a picture of the motorcycle. After my accident, nobody cared to see it. The insurance company called my dad about the motorcycle to ask what to do with it. He simply said to do whatever you have to do with it but he never wanted to see it. The only three people that saw it were my friends David Sabin, Zach White, and David Mahaffey. Well they got to see it before I decided to demolish it later. I never got to show it off to anybody. My anniversary of my accident is coming up May 14. It will be three years since it happened. I figured it was about time to get a chance to show off my motorcycle.

I never took any actual pictures of the motorcycle that I bought. If I had them, they would have probably been burned because of the fear of a bad omen ha ha. So my stomach turned into knots as I typed into Google 2007 Honda 1300. Google filled in the blanks that it was a 2007 HondaVTX 1300. Then I had to search for the next criteria. I finally found one with the exact same color and wheels as the one I purchased. When I was deciding on a bike to buy I had two different ones in mind. I was looking at a black Honda with a more classic look to it. The fenders completely covered the wheels. The actual wheels had a classic look as well. The other bike was about the complete opposite. It was a dark navy blue Honda with more custom looking wheels. I was torn between the two. I eventually decided to go with the navy blue bike. I just wanted to have something different, and I love navy blue. If you didn't know my two favorite colors are red and blue. So after much searching I found the exact same motorcycle that somebody had for sale. Seeing this bike again for the first time just gave me chills. My stomach just began to hurt. After looking at it for a little bit I remembered why I bought it. I still think the bike looks amazing. The first person I wanted to show was my dad. I actually showed him a picture of it the other day. Enough time has moved by it is not as tough to look at. We both agreed that it looked good. I've never showed anybody else, until now. I hope everyone can appreciate it and also respect how tough it was for me to bring this up. Every time I see someone riding a motorcycle I secretly wish I was on mine today. This is the motorcycle that I never got to show off...
