So I had been looking at a black RG on the floor, turns out that it is the Demo bike. I by the way, run the Demos for Manchester Harley here in New Hampshire. So alot of the 450 miles already on the bike were mine anyway. So I swing by yesterday to see my wife before a ride, (she works part time at Manchester HD) and as I pull in there is the bike sitting outside with ballons on it, sold. Aw crap, well I can keep looking. So I head in and here she comes out of the office with a big smile. And pulls me back outside and says surprise. WOW, blown away. I have the best wife, hands down. I will put up some picture when I get them. So long to the Street Bob, loved every mile. Hello tourning. Hope to learn and laugh with you guys.

Glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read your post - whatever it was would have been coming out of my nose!

Thanks for my first real laugh of the day.

And to the OP, you've got one hell of a cool wife (but you didn't me to tell you that).

Enjoy your new scoot!
