My fellow XSives
I have a favour to ask all those members who have religious faith and who say their prayers. My mother passed away peacefully at home last Sunday, with my stepfather and I at her bedside. She was laid to rest today. Her name was Margaret Dale and she was 79 years old. She was a devout Christian and would greatly appreciate a prayer on her behalf, just as she did for other people.
Three years ago when I began thinking of getting back into bikes after a break of 10 years, my girlfriend (a nurse) most definitely did NOT approve. My neighbours were convinced I'd get killed. Several friends questioned the wisdom of riding again and said how reaction times get slower as one ages. I began to lose confidence! Then I tentatively mentioned it to my mother. Her response? "You only get one chance at life, love. And it's not a rehearsal. Get yourself one of those new Triumphs and I'll pay for it". Says it all, eh? I didn't even know she was informed about current models!
So, folks, if you can spare a thought and a prayer for my dear old mum, I'd sure appreciate it.
