But the story didn’t end there. Tina clung to Ghost as her lifeline in the hospital. He became her anchor through nightmares, recovery, and her mother’s funeral. She even rode on his Harley, escorted by dozens of bikers, to say goodbye to her mom—an image that went viral around the world.
Over time, Ghost became more than a rescuer. He became family. He taught Tina how to ride dirt bikes, cheered her on in motocross, and stood by her side as she turned her survival into a mission. Today, she speaks at conferences, pushing for stronger search-and-rescue methods—always wearing Ghost’s leather jacket, the same one that kept her warm in the ravine.
Last year, Ghost officially adopted Tina. In front of hundreds of bikers, she looked at the judge and said: “He saved me.” Ghost squeezed her hand and replied: “No, kiddo—we saved each other.”
Now, every Sunday, they ride together. Ghost on his Harley, Tina on her junior bike. They take the mountain roads slowly, eyes scanning for the lost and the overlooked—because sometimes, angels wear leather, and sometimes, a wrong turn is exactly where you’re meant to be.
