Default Properly trained.

Yesterday at lunch my wife asked if I was getting another bike this year. I identified three possible candidates.

After 45 years of marriage she is finally trained!

I'm only coming up to 24 (thats years married, not bikes!), but my wife has practically ordered me to get a new RG, so I'll stop spending money on the '00 FXDL!

You sure they don't have you trained to think you have them trained? Women are strange that way.

Married 45 years - Congrats
Mine shocked the he** out of me when after 31 years married she asked to ride on the back! Then, you could have knocked me over with a feather when she said the Sporty was to small and "pursueded" me to get the Road King.
