Roy Rogers Looses Trigger Today
An account of how the economy is touching us all.
As the economy woes of our country continue I watch as family and friends struggle to get by. Houses and farms have been lost, and wages have been cut all across the nation. I too have been touched by this downward spiral as I now begin to sell things I accumulated during better times in order to help get through the long cruel winter looming ahead.
My Harley Davidson was my friend that never once let me down. My Sportster and I had seen many miles of the southeast together. Allowing me to travel to places I would have otherwise never been able to afford to go and allowing me the most beautiful views along the way.
Many will read this and say boo hoo you had to sell your bike …so what…we all are suffering. Well I did in all reality just sell a motorcycle during hard times just as thousands more have done before me. But in my heart and mind it was if I was Roy Rogers and I just sold Trigger. Many of you won’t know who Roy Rogers was but for those of you who remember you will understand.
Do I regret my decision…of course not, it was the practical one I needed to make at this time for the good of my family. As I work online at night and my regular job during the day I am beginning to see a little brighter spot at the end of the tunnel. As my residual income begins to grow bigger each month it gives me a new sense of hope for a better tomorrow.
If you are like me and have had to give up things during this hard time, keep your head up and continue to move forward. Things in this country are slowly beginning to turn around and improve. Perseverance will eventually win out and we will all be a little stronger and wiser from what we have been through. Who knows, maybe my next Harley will be even bigger than the last one. Ride on old friend and may the road forever stretch out in front of you…you will be missed.
