What an AWESOME day!
« Reply #-1 on: February 12, 2017, 07:51:26 PM »
I have to brag on my wife. I just HAVE to! I swear that God looked into my soul and made her to order for me. She's everything I could ask for in a wife. She's my best friend. She's a great mother to our kids, a great companion to me for over a quarter of a century. So, as you can tell I am pretty dang happy with my marriage. She likes to grill and smoke foods like I do, it has become a fun hobby for the both of us and we've met some really nice people in the process.

We have been talking for years about getting motorcycles and riding together but it was just talk. That has changed. She came to me last week and said she wanted a motorcycle. So, I began to look for what she wanted and found a deal I couldn't pass up! I bought it this afternoon from some friends of ours that had it just "in the way" in their garage. They gave me a steal of a deal on it and now my wife will be a biker babe, lol. I too have a my eye on a few bikes and if all goes well I'll be getting one next weekend. Next on the agenda will be to take a riding course (helps on insurance) then get our license and then start doing a little sight seeing! Can't wait!

Oh, and on top of that, she tells me that she wants a Weber Performer Premium (with the cart) so I ordered one from Lowe's. It'll be here sometime in the next few days. So she's a grill hoarder like me! How many women do you know of that condone this type of activity much less instigate it? LOL

I am blessed, I truly am.

That's not my intent so forgive me :) I just get overwhelmed sometimes. I am a person that wears my emotions on my sleeve and when I feel gratitude I have to voice it! God is good to me. Too good maybe.

NO problem RG...was just tickling your your excitement. ;) ;D We are all happy for you. There are some great rides in this area. Look up the Tail of The Dragon sometime.

Not for brand-new riders....but you also do not need to race thru it. The scenery along this road is great in the fall.

My bike has been setting in my garage for the last 6 years with a cover on it.
Since my surgery I have not been able the ride.
I hope someday to be able to hit the road again.

V & I took it on a two week vacation through the Smoky mountains & then the next year a two weeker through the Ozarks.
Great times.

I have owned at least one bike since the age of 18 & I sure miss being able to ride.  :'( :'(
