I do appreciate all your votes folks.
This competition has been a good thing no matter the outcome. I have spoken with three more brothers now about their own demons and chatted with a couple more online. One buddy I spoke with yesterday had his younger brother take his life in 2002. The younger brother had been on the civil relations teams in Afghanistan. These teams help villages with schools, medical clinics and clean water management. My buddy told me he too thought about doing it after his brother passed. I see that as a common thing, that once a family member has taken their life, others in the family have the same thoughts and need someone to talk to. Be your brothers keeper my friends. We do not have to be a mental health expert for that.
Thanks for you continued votes for me and the dream bike. Two days and 17 hours to go before they close the voting in this round.
