The worst part of your original post was these three words long story short. I loved reading your experience of your first Harley and wanted more!

Welcome to the lifestyle!

Welcome to the club of degenerates and salty dogs! My wife says to tell your wife she shouldn't have waited so long, the water has been fine all along! Glad you're both baptized!

Its just different. Sort of like a shirt I have "If I have to explain you wouldn't undestand". Welcome, enjoy and feel at home. If you ride east to the Buckeye state let me know. Enjoy and best of all good to hear your wife is on-board also. You will not regret your decision.
