end of the road

A week ago I was rear ended by a car while waiting for traffic. Today I was informed by insurance that the bike was deemed totaled.

Exactly 5 years ago, I rolled the bike off the showroom floor. I was a dramatic experience, entering the world of motorcycling. I am blessed that I had a lot of fun along the way, rode every day and never involved in any accidents till now. Even then, I walked away with barely a couple bruises. Insurance process was smooth; I received 50% of the bike's original cost, reimbursed jacket and boots, and 0 deductible. It's a nice closure and perhaps I would ride again someday, but I trust this is His best plan for me.
