Yea, but I can't complain. She don't bitch and she has always indulged my need for toys with nary a peep. My current bike she found out about when I road up to the gate she working. If all it takes is a house and some spending money to keep her happy I can hang.

I've been married 15 years to an insanely understanding wife. I took off last summer and did 10,000 miles. Too many places and people to even imagine I would ever do. We plan on having kids now, so I wanted to take the scoot out and go wherever, with whoever, doing whatever, as long as I was on the bike. It was a blast, but it was even more fun coming home to the wife.
I'm the free spirit in the family. She is the one that holds it all together. It has been a ride so far...
I think everyone should do it once in their life. Life is meant to be lived on the edge, skidding into the casket with a smile on your face, and your family and friends agreeing that it was a life worth living.
After my Mom died tragically, then my Uncle three months later, I realized life is too short to have "ideas", "plans", "fantacies", "thoughts", ect. without living them out sometimes. Of course in a way that is realistic and responsible, yet spontaneous and crazy all at the same time...
I have travelled the world on the military's dime and have had a good time seeing it. It is totally different on the scoot though. There is something about ending up in an unfamiliar place, yet the people all seem the same (bikers that is). I slept on couches of people I had just met, was put un in some guys hunting lodge in the middle of no-where, ended up in a hospital and almost dying from anaphalactic shock, kept on cruisin' and ended up in some crazy places with the same ole' good people. Something about being a biker, that other people understand in a weird way.
Its still fun to reminisce...

I think about it quite often. My kids are grown and out on their own, I'm divorced, no girlfriend, nothing but bills holding me back. Maybe I need to start working some overtime...Man!!! That would be an incredible way to see the country!

I've been leading the 'free as the wind' lifestyle for a number of years, and although it might not be for everyone I wouldn't want it any other way.
No wife, no debt, no real obligations, so I am able to do what I want when I want....
I consider myself to be very lucky, as very few have the opportunity to actually lead the life they want instead of just dreaming about it..
