Got to admit my wife is a keeper.
Years ago she didn't want me get another motorbike after a riding hiatus (for a couple of years) after a trailbike off that opened up my left shin.
She made it all very difficult but after getting tired of constantly not getting the okay I end up buying a red 1998 VFR800 in pristine condition behind her back.
Of course WWIII began when the bike was delivered.
But she eventually calmed down and I still had the bike.
She even jumped on the back every now and then and really enjoyed it.
Maybe 18 months later I was riding with the boys and had an accident that was 100% my fault.
The bike was unfortunately written off.
It was during an 8 day tour in Tasmania so thankfully I was in full leathers.
A little banged up and scraped but nothing major or broken.
Called her that night and received a very cold reaction so I was not looking forward to getting home.
When I walked in the door and after she asked how I was, she looked at me and I looked at her.
I was pretty sure I knew what was coming.
Something like "That's it. No more motorbikes.".
Instead, she very calmly said "If I stop you from riding you will resent me won't you?"
I replied "Probably."
She then said, "Okay. I'm not happy but if its that important to you there's not much I can do or say. Keep riding."
Like I said, she's a keeper...
