I think she was wondering too, as in, "What the @##% did I just agree
to?".

We got married only 5 months after having met, and not knowing any of
each others' friends. But she eventually warmed up. Now I take her
everywhere.

And she keeps finding her way back. ;)

Come on, what's the fun of a big tire and lots of HP if you can't do a
good smokeshow? :)

Plaids, hehe, I used to own someof them. I had a pea green pair of
plaid pants back around those years. Not only plaid but some sort of
synthetic material to boot. Them was the days.

Doesn't seem fair to use a very soft sticky compound in a tire that's got
tons of rubber that should last for years. Especially at the price they
probably command. It's just not right.

I can tell from looking at all your photos and reading your stories
that you found a real keeper there Don. I ride solo, but would be real
happy if my gal rode along or wanted her own bike. And what a deal
that is for you. You guys can carry twice as much gear.

Ride safe,

Doin' burn-outs with the wife's new bike and getting caught... I
think I had a nightmare about that once!
