Thanks for raising the importance of men’s mental health. I lost my wife of nearly 30 years on April 5th then my only nephew was killed in a car wreck at only 10 years old exactly one month later on May 5th. So yes I’m not in great shape emotionally and felt the need to reach out to a good friend this morning who lost a daughter suddenly at Christmas time. Several texts back and forth later I wasn’t crying so there was some progress. It’s hard but I know I’m not always alone.

There's a history of this in my own family usually brought about by trauma nobody ever talks about. Big Balls for you to bring up such a thing, big respect from me. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Are any of you out there suffering in silence right now just remember one important thing. You cannot finish the race of Life by yourself.

Keith thanks for the comment. Mental health is a conversation that should be had over and over!

Thanks for your videos! Spot on advice regarding mental health. My generation simply didn't talk about our feelings. It wasn't manly, whatever the heck that means... Personally I work on breaking that barrier but it is a struggle. 🤠

Thank You Jared, On my right wrist above my thumb is the tattoo ;IGY6 with a red 22 behind it. The semi colon is Teal which represents PTSD awareness! Of the 75 suicides in America each day 22 are Veterans or Service Members. My personal mission is to be there for anyone hurting. My second mission is to get more people tattooed with ; IGY6 on their hand so when they shake someone's hand, if that person is hurting they'll know you will be there for them. It's out of love and respect for my fellow Veterans that I do this. Please give of yourself so others can find their value and live. AMERICA, you are in my prayers Hoka Hey

Jessica we are stoked you are at the finish line!

Personally I like the boat on hardtail that they have for triumph because if you wear it out you can disconnected from the mainframe and bolt a new one on. I was showing my brother my bike on Thanksgiving and I looked down and there was a 6-inch section of frame missing and the good quality rentals chain was holding the back end of the bike together. It was also cracked on the other side underneath the Harley toolbox and the triumph shop I patronize I took a hardtail off a dead guy's bike and put it on mine because I was good advertising for the shop and I never bitched and whined about what it needed to get it fixed.
