The Ultimate Sacrifice

I finally did it. I sold my beloved motorcycle, Trogdor, to raise money for the trip. So many good memories - going on long rides to see the fall foliage in Michigan, zipping through traffic on the highway, one last late-night ride under a clear sky on Monday before turning the keys over to the new owner. I had to turn away to keep my emotions in check as I listened to the engine's smooth purr fade into the distance. But I'm a few thousand dollars closer to supporting myself for a year on the road, and I know it'll all be worth it come January. Til we meet again, Troggy.
