Default An annoying whine every time I start up............

The bike's running fine.................It's my wife! "Why are you always taking off?" "I want to spend more time with you" etc, etc, etc,

Fortunately, her girlfriend came and stayed with us this weekend and set her straight. She told her that men are even more impossible without their toys and that she should be happy it's not another woman that she has to worry about!!! Her friend also told me that I should be happy that my wife loves me enough that she wants to spend more time with me.

Words of wisdom for both of us I guess. We did come to an agreement that will satisfy us both. My wife agreed to ride with me more....that way I get to ride AND she spends more time with me.

The conclusion: Life is pretty good right about now......I hope it stays that way!
