You don't know me but I would like to take a little of your time and tell you about me. I am 63 years old and at this time I own a 2012 Harley-Davidson Tri glide. My husband and I bought it because he always owned Harleys all his life and was a true biker. When his health started to decline he was not ready to give up riding so we thought it would be a great way for me to learn to drive, that way if we ever got somewhere and he couldn't drive back I could. It has been a great experience for me. Well, to get to the point my husband passed on Christmas day in 2015. He was a Vietnam Vet and I am still fighting to get his benefits that they don't want to give me! So I am still fighting that battle. I am a very hard worker and have exhausted all of my resourses to try and finish paying the bike off. Harley financial at this point just keeps harassing me and I keep telling them the same thing. I would really love to keep the bike but they will not refinance it for me. Is there something someone can do to help me out? Up until a couple of months ago I struggled to keep it going but at this point can't do it any longer. If I could just keep it, it would be great but working 6days a week is not even helping at this point. I am just a small town woman trying to make a living and trying to figure out what to do without my Husband! Thank-you for your time. Sincerely, Patricia
