When she's fully trained she will pay for it and do all the mods.

Been looking at Ultra's, wife knows this, the other day she asked if I have bought a new bike yet. When I said no, she frowned. So I guess that is an ok to go find one. I think tho I will wait until 2012, this one is an 07, 17K on it. Got a few more miles to go yet.

I just have to ask . . . 'cause all of us single guys want to know!

Do any of these ladies (your trained wives that is) have any unmarried eligible sisters or daughters? No disrespecting your efforts at the higher education of the fairer sex, as it were, but it might be something in the genes, and this trait is really important.

I purchased mine just a week ago, and the wife is extremely interested in learning to ride and getting her own in due time. I think it's just one more passion we can share together in our lives. Going on 16 years, with many many more to come.
