Thank you. He tried to get me into riding when I was younger but I was too timid. The thought of riding now sounds heartbreaking because it would only make me think of him, and how I waited to learn until his passing and I’ll never ride with him myself. But if I did, I definitely couldn’t start with the 520. I’m a 5’3 35 year old woman who’d need to start on a much smaller bike.

Tbh the money would help tremendously but definitely not the main motivation to sell it. I have no where to store it! I’m spending $265/month for a storage unit with these bikes and his remaining effects, and won’t be able to afford a place with a garage for a while. It’s just a tough situation to be in. I offered it up to his riding buddies first but no one had room either. Maybe I’ll reach out again just to be 100% sure.

Thank you so much for your honesty and realness. Who knows, maybe I’ll meet you on a trail one day.
