Not to brag...
After years of struggling through the typical Bullshit, (school, debt, home buying, career changes, starting our own business) my wife surprised me by suggesting we buy the Harley we always planned to get. She had saved up some cash and dropped 20% down on a 2k FLHTC.
She loves to ride, one of the reasons I got a dresser was so she would be more comfortable. We still haven't done a interstate run due to buying a new house last year. (And It's pretty damned hard to ride out of Texas.) But it's coming this year. Although I ride daily, she only gets to ride on the weekends. She prefers the slow country rides, but is game for any ride except for in the cold.
We were in Old Town Spring last summer. Instead of shopping the stores for candles and ****, she wanted to hang out on the street and watch bikes go by. She went to Gruene (another Antique, candle and potpouri selling tourist trap) with her mom and came back with a run down on how many and what kind of bikes were there.
We have talked about a second bike. She says she prefers riding with me but has admitted she wpuldn't mind a Road King either.
