Requesting help from you Motovloggers!

I am VERY curious. Exactly what is the condition (symptoms, mainly), and why can't she ride?

I'd figure it could be a multitude of things, like loss of vision, loss of depth perception, loss of quick decision making (as in, thinking takes longer than usual), loss of short-term or long-term memory, random convultions, trigger-generated convultions (like epilepsy), or even something as mundane as simply tiredness due to the treatment. But I'm curious (always have been).

I hope I'm not being disrespectful, but my mind just cant stand an incomplete puzzle :/
 
Does it really matter? i dont think someone would make it up, i think she would rather be riding than watching videos of people riding
 
I was curious at first then I repressed the shit outta those thoughts lol as others have said doesn't really matter the how or why as much as the who
 
i think of it this way ... we just gotta have Faith !... that this is a noble and just cause! ....

if it was someone asking for subs or views because 'this friend of theirs' was sick .. then i might have been a little sus?! ... (possible just another fame hungry noob)

but we all provided the content! ... that was the only request!! ... cant go wrong really! :):):)

if you have any kind of brain injury then most countries in the world will not let you get a driving licence, and insurance companies certainly wont insure you. I suspect she can ride, but she is not legally allowed to. When my mum had double aneurysm even though she is fine, they took away her driving licence straight away. I can't be sure but perhaps its something like that. If you want it back you have to get a doctor to give the o.k that you meet certain conditions. all the best

EDIT: oh and for what its worth its a fair question. I would want to know if it was me or my daughter or one of my friends the reason why they take away that kind of freedom from me.

Nonono you misunderstand me. I am only curious as the WHY. Not doubting or anything, just... my training prevents me from walking away from a puzzle. I must have all information always. Every problem must have a solution, and for that I need all info. Even if the solution is "I can't provide a solution, others must do so.".
I know it doesnt matter (as Kreiger said), but I got a mental itch i must scratch :D

Ill go check out the playlist, get my information fix that way. :D
Can't wait for the vids on the party!

I cannot speak for Faith's parents or Sweatiingbullets but while she looks like a perfectly normal girl, I noticed her movements which did give a sense that she may be limited to doing a lot of physical things. I am not saying she is disabled but could also be on strong medications also. If that is also the case, I wouldn't have her ride a motorcycle for long periods of time. Let's face it, riding a motorcycle is fun and all but can get very tiring.

I've also seen Faith's mother's Instagram (which I am not posting here) and there are a few images of Faith going through Chemo.

It doesn't really matter at all, but I'm with Cagerontwowheels. I'd like to know. I just want a better understanding of what she's going through and why things are the way they are. I have no doubts about what has been said about her, it's merely curiosity. If the family wishes to keep it as private information that's completely ok with me, and absolutely understandable, but if they don't mind us knowing...well frankly I'd like to know more about her.

Oh no worries, I was just making the case that I'm interested as well. It wasn't supposed to be an attack towards you or anything.

That actually explains it perfectly, if you know what someone goes through when they undergo chemo. That shit is like The Machine, it sucks the life right out of you. I had a friend who went through chemo and was trying to ride at the same time. He couldn't go more than an hour or so before he was so drained he could hardly walk. The guy was so well built you'd think he did steroids too. Someone who's not in fantastic condition, who's also undergoing chemo, isn't going to have the energy to hold on to a bike/rider for very long. It really sucks for her too, you could see in the video you made how much she enjoyed being around that epic group of bikes. Mad props for letting her rev them like that too, that was particularly badass.
 
Sorry I haven't been updating for the last couple of days, but preparing for the party and everything involved has kept me rather busy. Faiths condition has left her with zero balance. Just walking for her is very, very, taxing. Her sense of balance is extremely degraded. If you were to see her out in public, you would probably think she was intoxicated. The tumor she had was taken off surgically from her brain stem at the base of her neck and the bottom of her skull. This surgery, along with the chemo and treatments afterwards, have placed a heavy toll on her. Her speech is very difficult to understand, she is developing cateracts, and her physical strength has all but vanished. As IREV808 said, she is extremely limited in physical activities. She would love to be able to ride a motorcycle, but with her limited abilities, she will not even be able to get a drivers license to drive a car. With all that said, she wants to do all the things most young adults at her age would want to do. I try to include her in as much as I can, but there is only so much she can do. Things most of us would take for granted, she will never be able to do. Like live without supervision. She will never live on her own, or marry. Which is a shame because she is a woderful person. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask. I will run them by her mother, and get her approval before posting, if they are something I do not know, or think she might have issue with sharing. But thank you all so much for your support in this. I am trying to post the video of the party tonight when I get off work. I am truly grateful to each and every one of you for all your help. I spoke with Faith and her mom, and they both want to make a video to thank everyone for the love and kindness they have been shown. I will post a link here as sson as we are done filming and I can get it put on YouTube. Once again, thank you all, and please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Every single one of you friggin ROCK!!!! \m/
 
I almost forgot to mention, the party was AWESOME! She said it was the best day of her life. And it's all thanks to you guys. Here are the links to IREV808, IRideHawaii, and subbelicious's videos. I will try and get mine up tonight.
