hey bro, not sure if you have a ride bell or not, let me know

Have you noticed that some riders have a small bell hanging off their motorcycle frame or handlebars? Have you wondered what the purpose is? That little bell is more than decoration, it serves a very important purpose – it wards off gremlins, also known as evil road spirits.
You see, there are motorcycle gremlins that LOVE to ride, but they are also mischievous little devils and they cause all sorts of problems for you while you are riding. Some say they are responsible for that old lady in the minivan not seeing you and cutting you off in traffic. Or, you may be having trouble shifting smoothly, your battery goes dead, your turn signal suddenly refuses to work, an oil spill appears out of nowhere, you hit a patch of black ice, etc – you get the idea. Those little gremlins look for trouble and try to steer your bike towards it.
Now, once you get a bell on your scoot – it wards off these attacks from the little gremlins, not allowing any more to get onto your bike. If you already have some gremlins riding with you, they will get trapped in the hollow of the bell, and the constant ringing will drive them insane – causing them to lose their grip and fall to the roadway.
Do you have the protection of a gremlin bell? If you buy a gremlin bell of your own, the power works. If you receive the gremlin bell as a gift – the powerful magic of the bell is doubled.

ghost,
we have shared a long ride here and have had many-a- laugh. we have seen so many good people come and go and the not so good. we have learned, read and wondered. we’ve been and seen silly. we have been part of some really adult and serious conversations and we have been on the same side of discussions and on opposite too. but through all of this, I have never, not one single time, ever questioned your sincerity, your conviction, your humanity or your intent.

I cannot say this about all of the people I have come into contact with here or in real life. I can only tell you (with heavy heart) that it has been a pleasure to have known you and your spirit will not be forgotten. (I don’t know if you remember this or not.) two candles for you !! my friend.

now don’t stop living, fight the good fight. as Dylan Thomas said, “rage, rage against the dying of the light”

Serenity to you Ghost no matter how long you stay with us. We didnt get to meet and for that I am now sad and the one who missed out. If the chance comes around again, it would be great to meet you. God Bless.

Ghost ..... may the angels watch over you...

Ghost..I don't know you...have only read your posts..but I am saddened by this thread..all of us here on Mingle are like family..some close, some not so close..we laugh, love and fuss at each other, but we are FAMILY!
Enjoy your ride..I hope it takes you were you want to be, at exactly the time you want to be there..You'll always be in our hearts and our prayers!

Ghost I have only known you through your posts. You have always been a favorite of mine on here. I was very saddened by your news. My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you complete your journey. .

Ghost, I only know you from your posts and I to am saddened to hear this news... May your guardian angels take care of you and get you to your destination...Carmel is beautiful... took me almost 50 yrs to get there, you won't be disappointed...

sooooo sorry to hear this, Ghost. I will keep you in my prayers

Ghost I have been fighting Cancer for almost a year and one thing I leaned is NEVER give up!!! Ur friends and family are there to support U and always have a positive attitude and positive things WILL happen!!! Its a horrible club we belong to BUT Cancer has shown me how Blessed I really Am!!

I will pray for you ghost, may your Harley be blessed...

Sending lots and lots of good thoughts and prayers...

I couldn't bare to read this thread for a entire day. It is very difficult to see you this way. I know more than anyone your pain. There is only one thing I can add to everything said here by the people who have shared your life through posts.

I LOVE YOU



..and I sure miss you. I wish you had not pushed me out.

Kc....my friend.....we have indeed had some great times here. and some great friends. I appreciate the candles Bro!!

I am sorry.
We seem to have a way....
Of pushing each other away with our words.
Both a bit too.....
Stubborn I guess!
I dont know HOW to share this with you....
and certainly can't ask you to....
Watch it happen!

I totally get why you need to be free right now. When you are ready, pop in at Mingle to say hey to those who care. My soul & heart is so very grieved. If death claims you YOU ARE WORTHY AND PRECIOUS TO OUR SAVIOUR.

I want you to ponder this. I have just been with a very close friend who allowed me to be her strength & comfort on her deathbed. If she had pushed me away, her death would have devastated me. As I watched her pass, I knew our friendship was eternal.

First.....Thank You all......
You have touched me deeply and your concern here and in e-mail mean the world to me.
But.....
It seems I need to clarify things I didnt see the need to post....

I have stage 4 metastisized prostate cancer.
What that means......
I have a large tumor in my prostate.
It has spread tru my lump system to my bones and my right lung.
The bone metastis is an 8 on the gleason.
That means it is spreading very fast.
I had no symptoms.
It came on suddenly and truth....
Only while I was enjoying the best four days of my life with Pyxxie,
did i become aware I had an issue.
It has been an overwhelming couple weeks.
To go straight from the greatest Joy I have experienced....
to the horror of all this.....
is a ride I would wish on NOONE!!
There is nothing that can be done to help me.
They can prolong my life and agony for a while but really....

Whats the Point!!

I have always lived my life on the edge.
I see no reason to lay down now.
Im tying up loose ends.
Tuesday I'm going on my last....Jump.
If I dont break any bones landing, Im gettin on the bike and enjoying one last Journey.
If I reach my destination....Great.
If not.....I go out the way I have lived....
On the road and on the Edge!!!!
I'm Ok with that.....Really.
Love you all......
Thanks!!

I have to agree with Ladywind here, and though tis none of our
business (since when has this stopped any of us on Mingle?) I
will add this.

The best gift you can leave someone with is, to allow them to
be with you at the time..it offers them solace..after, that you
trusted them alone, with your vulnerability.

I am like you, I would turn all away, it just feels..right, to
be able to do that for them.

But in doing so, you lose the ability to bestow
that one final gift of love.

Love.
It goes on and on.

This is not advice, you walk your own path.
But we are all in the bleachers here, you go
where each of us will go.
Your game is our game.

All we can offer is genuine affection.
And a need to say, you touched us.

GR thanks for sharing some time with us.

Ok Vik...
Rehashing every word that has been said is not gettin us anywhere.
And I know it aint makin ya feel any better.
Ok....
I'm an a$$hole....I screwed up....
I GET IT....Thanks!!
Now....
If ya dont mind....
Im gonna move forward....
cuz I aint got time to look back!!!
If ya want to look forward with me
You are welcome to join Me!!!

Not gonna do the email thingy nomo
maybe here...
we will be more careful what we say to each other.
