Default backwards thinking..........

So we're at the local harley clothing store today, and they are having 50% off all leather jackets. Couldn't help but to buy one for myself and the wife. So on my way out I gently remind her that this simple action commits us to picking up the bike this spring. Evil genius right?

I guess I missed it, even without new jackets wouldn't you get your bike out of storage?

She's probably smarter than you think, she got a new leather jacket.

Yeah, I joined that far back, but got sidetracked. Wife got surgery first winter, then I went on strike for a year, then relocated all the way across Canada. I'm really hoping this is actually going to be the year! LOL

Jackets 50% off at Trails End HD, Yellowknife NT Canada. Bit of a trip up here, but good deals on jacket! rofl!
