Cool Surprise!
What's up fellow riders? Well, after 21 years of marriage, I still can't figure out my wonderful Texas Cowgirl of a wife. On our anniversary this year she bought me the guitar of my dreams. a cherry burst Gibson SG Standard just like Duane Allman played. I play slide guitar in a local blues band and she made my year with that.
WE both celebrated our Birthdays last night at a big party with me playing my new guitar. When it came time for gifts, she gave me the key to a 2012 Vivid Black Road Glide Ultra, 103, ABS and the works! I had been looking at it for a few months, and now Tuesday I ride up on my 08 FLHTCU, and home on my new bike. This woman is a keeper all the way, and I am indeed a lucky man to have her. Just thought I'd share the good news with you guys.

Gunner, you are indeed a very lucky man. A new guitar and a new bike. I hope that you gave as good as you got.
