Do you love motorcycles? Are you (or a family member) battling cancer?

    Another biker fighting cancer
    Noticed your note saying "biker". Thought I'd drop you a line. I'm recovering from T3 pancreatic cancer myself. I'm an independent rider (been riding for 30+ yrs.). I haven't been able to ride my road king but twice since surgery. Tell your son other bikers are keeping him and his family in thier prayers!

    Hello
    Hi everyone....probably surprised to see a woman on this post but I am a huge motorcycle lover. Bought my own 09 Dyna in March and diagnosed with Breast Cancer in August. Just started chemo a few days ago...I miss my ride already. Its hard riding on back and hard to deal with the fact I can't ride. Hurts so much Ive been avoiding my riding buddies. It truly is my passion...would love to hear from anyone else that is going though this also.
