After I made the decision to begin the Walk for Peace, I attempted to sell my motorcycle. However, because of a paperwork delay, I was not able to sell the bike. Fortunately, my sister and brother in law agreed to let me keep it at their house, with the understanding that I would need to move it or sell it before they moved again. In preparing to head North on this leg of the Walk for Peace, I made arrangements to visit Emily and Anders, and to attempt to sell the bike while I am here.
Yesterday and today have incorporated the tasks necessary to prepare the motorcycle for sale, including current registration, a new battery and photos for the ad. As I have worked on getting it ready, I have also spent time remembering some of the rides I’ve taken. I have truly enjoyed riding, and at the same time, I am ready to let the bike go.
For me, there is a Peace in having fulfilled the dream of learning to ride, having a bike and enjoying the unique perspective of being a motorcyclist.
I am grateful for the experience, and I no longer have a need for a motorcycle. I am at Peace with selling it. And, I hold that whomever ends up with it will enjoy it just as much as I have.
