We moved ashore in 2004 and I rode road bikes (Bicycles) and opened up a shop. My wife was dead set against a motorcycle because she had a bad experience on one with her first husband. He would pop wheelies with her on the back. She is also convinced to this day that I will be killed on a motorcycle. I point to a totally clean driving record for both car and cycle. I have never had an accident since 1958 in anything. She is still unconvinced. My mother who is 96 and not senile, thinks the Ninja is great. She has been around a while and has wisdom. I guess the wife will just have to get used to it. She can always sail the boat while I ride--she is not into bicycles as well.

That is the most awesome story I have read in a long time.
