Default My wife's birthday

So my wife's birthday was yesterday - our business is only open until noon and I have the day off. As soon as she is out of the house, I scramble to get dressed and steal her Street Glide, leaving a note on the counter with my keys that says, "Meet me at the Harley shop. Happy Birthday!" I had arranged to get a painted inner fairing and the mirrors that she has been wanting and had an appointment to get them installed on her birthday. She didn't have a clue and her reaction was all the reward I need.

My wife always claims that she doens't like the chrome but, she sure doesn't mind when it shows up on her bike. She always has to show someone the newest stuff. She isn't fooling me, she likes the bling just as much as anyone.

Congrats on the successful birthday present.
