I purchased a 2000 Ninja EX500 8 years ago today. My first bike titled in my name.
I can still remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard what was happening. All the media websites were overloaded so I ended up catching most of it from Howard Stern on the radio and Cycleforums.

My sister went out with her future husband for the first time today.
I had a blind date with a 25 year old girl that looked like a 9 year old boy, which it eventually tried to molest me. Bad day all around. Damn blind dates, that was the last time I went on one...

i was living at NYC at that time, some of my classmates never showed up the class again, I know of one that survived. I've me and known people since that lost their loved ones. I was at home when it happened and saw the whole thing unfold on the news on TV. I remember seeing people jumping out of the buildings in the paper, on the news over and over again and to this day it still doesn' t seem real. There were posters everywhere looking for missing people and tributes everywhere, in the subway walls etc to the dead and missing. A couple of years back before it happened, I used to work in the first tower that got hit, on the 83rd floor. My brother had transferred out of the Meryl Lynch building, next to the WTC, a year earlier to a branch in England. My best friend was also in a building nearby calling me crying under her desk because she was scared and they wouldn't let her leave. To think what if I had never quit that job or if my brother didn't transfer out? It must be a coping mechanism, to this day I have never shed a tear about it, I feel no sadness, in fact I don't feel at all. I am just numb to what happened. It still doesn't feel real. |

I saw it happen, I worked there at one point, and it has impacted every day of my life since. I don't feel the need to discuss this here.

I was a few blocks away (I worked in 7WTC for 8+ years before we moved and it was the last building to cave in); I was either smart enough or chicken shit enough to grab the only other two folks near me that morning and got the fuck out of Dodge. I don't think we were in immediate danger but I truly thought we were under attack--which ended up we were. It was a long f'ed up day getting out of Manhattan, but I have had ~2900 more since then--3000 people can't say that. I worked downtown from 1988 until then and knew lots of folks......nuff said.
