No matter how bad it gets, it can't be that bad :(
Coming home from town this afternoon I found a close friend laying in the road not far from my house. Seems like life got to be too much for him. I never wanted to see a sight like that and hope I never will again. I'll never understand suicide, I mean, my life sucks bad at times, but I still enjoy life too much to take my own. It was tough to report it and then call other friends and neighbors with the news. I'm still shook up, can't imagine what sort of bad dreams this will bring on, but I just can't get that image out of my head.

Wow Jeff, sorry to hear that, being a volunteer first responder I have seen alot, but never someone who I knew well enough to call a friend, I know it is difficult to cope with and those type of images still remain in my dreams, I hope you and the friends and neighbors all do well coping, best of luck and may God bless.

I never expected to see something like this on here. Jeff I can't imagine how I would react upon coming upon this myself. Had he been though something traumatic recently?

The boys I work for are really torn up about it, they have known him their whole lives. He was like a father figure around here, helped anyone who needed it and I guess that's what makes it so bad, we didn't help him when he needed us most. I saw a lot of blood and gore when I worked for a towing company, but it really hits home when it's someone you know well that is laying there. I don't think I'll ever get that image out of my mind, I see it every time I try to close my eyes. |
Jeff, I hate to hear this. I wish there was something I could do to help you forget the site. I know it's distrubing, especially when it's someone you've known for quite a while.

Depression has been pretty bad the last few years and he had threatened this many times, but we never thought he would go through with it. I guess we just never know what is going through a person's mind and have to wonder if there was anything we could have done to prevent such tragedy.

I used to think depression was one of those things hypochondriacs used for attention.

<snip>Now I still have episodes of depression, today seems to be one of those, but I know that it will end and I will feel the joy of living again. Sorry to burden all of you with this, but just feeling down and writing it down helps a little, thanks guys.
Your not dragging me down, if you don't talk about it...it will eat you alive. I know it's done it to me a couple of times. |

I guess I'm back to my routine that I had shortly after my wife passed, have an anxiety attack in the middle of the night and spend the rest of it in my 53 riding the roads. Got back home about 5:30 this AM and finally went to sleep about 7. Forgot to turn off my phone and someone called and woke me up :-arrgh Now I'm gonna be a grouchy SOB the rest of the day. Oh, and by the way... I drink coffee all day, hot or cold :) |

I thought it was functioning when you bought it last summer? Scooters are very relaxing...or at least the V-twin and cruiser versions. Not sure about the crouch rockets & knobby tire versions.

It was, but unfortunately earlier this year I think I cracked a skirt on the front piston. I have a sharp rattle and smoke from the front cylinder.

Not sure, but I believe it involves a large puddle of oil on the garage floor and a bike and a son laying on top of you in the middle of said puddle.
That being said, I got my jack from O'Reilly's for about $50. I think Harbor Freight has 'em for around $80 or so. |
