Default Why I Love My Wife...

Here in SE Louisiana we're scrambling to get ready for what is probably going to be a *bad* storm (Gustav). My wife asked this morning what I had in mind for securing the bike. I usually park it in a small shed (like a Morgan building), but the probable winds have me leery of that option for the next couple of days. I told her that I had decided to put the bike on the carport and cover it well. She said NO, that wasn't good enough and we would bring the bike into the house with us! She even helped me get the Softail in through the back door...
