Reminds me to tell the story about her...when we got our first motorcycle...

So...several years ago...I got to thinking about getting a motorcycle for the two of us to do some riding, maybe some touring. But...I had no idea how Ms. Kim would react to the idea...so...one night on our way to dinner, I saw a nice one sitting in someone's yard with a For Sale sign on it. So...I brought us the same way home, so that we would pass it again. And...at dinner, I was very thoughtful about all my "arguments" that I would propose as to why we should get one...so...now...I am all prepared...right?

Well...

As we pass the bike, I casually mention that..."hey, wouldn't it be cool/nice to have a motorcycle and go do some riding together?" Know what she says? She says..."that would be cool, let's do it!" Now, here I sit, trying to drive...and thinking..."how do I not screw this up?" I had no argument for that response! She looks at me and says "are you serious? What's wrong, you are not saying anything!" Poor me...I stumbled, stuttered, stammered and finally told her that I had no clue how to respond to her!!! :-)

Two weeks later we were off on our first adventure on our Yamaha V-Star 1100! After four rides together, she declared that she wanted her "own bike"...and so...a month or so later, we were off on our first ride...with two V-Star's!

All I can say is this...

Ms. Kim is COOL! And I am so fortunate that she tolerates me!!
