Not only did I go out and buy an 09 Uly, that I cant stop looking at in my garage, and riding every free second I get, but then I find Bad Weather Bikers on my pc! What a great site this is. She thinks I got a girlfriend! |

Welcome to the family! Get her some heated riding gear and get her out there with you, she'll come around. |

Welcome aboard - I'm jealous of the easy access to great riding you have out there in Front Royal! I'll keep an eye out next time I'm in the area. By the way, how did you find BadWeb? I actually learned of it by reading ADVrider. I like ADV, but I really don't have time for two sites, so I get my fix here. |

My wife didn't get mad at me when I bought my Uly. It was Christmas day last year, three days after I bought it, when she found it in my garage that she got mad. I told her that I didn't JUST buy it, I've had it for a few days and that my son(age 6) bought it for me(which he did). I gave him a brown bag full of cash, he threw the cash down on the table at the dealer and said, take it or leave it, thats all I've got. He bought it, not me. I'll let you know when she gets over it. I might have been better off buying me one of those girlfriends that your wife thinks that you have. But, that wouldn't be near as much fun as my Uly. ..................still mad. |

Welcome to this. My wife is only mad most of the time that I spend on BadWeB, unless she is working. A long time married friend of mine got a girl friend. My wife is not as mad as his. I bought her a Buell thinking I would get a reprieve, no luck, now she spies on what I write so she knows what I'm thinking about. Should be simple enough; ride, smile a lot, ride some more, discuss with fellow riders, occasionally fix things, ride some more, smile some more, repeat for years. |

Patrick, I split my time between Roanoke and Elkton. Drop me a PM if you want to ride sometime. But give it a month or three because it's frickin freezin! NUTS |

Buy her a XB12cg, that'll solve that problem. Call me, we have a wide selection. Only problem is, then you'll think she has a boy friend. ~jammer |

Yeah, my wife and I were just out for a ride and through a nice "set" I said "nice curves!". She laughed and said "yeah you used to like the other kind of curves"! |

Thanks for all the "welcomes". Hooper, I found this site on Google, when my brand new bike's check engine light came on with only a few hundred miles on it. I was hoping to find what the problem was before I took it back to the dealer. The amount of info on this site was amazing! I look forward to riding with you guys that are in the area. And Nutsosane is right...It is crazy cold out right now! |

Welcome aboard. Wish my kid was that good to me. If a girl talks to me, my wife will come up and introduce herself. |

Don't forget all the people on this board are just "riders" and don't know much about their bikes, especially diagnosing problems. Welcome to the insanity. |

Buy all your bikes in the same color... it helps when trying to convince her that it was the one you already had |

Here is what you do when you bring a new bike home or if you are spending too much time with your bike. SOme how, in that "female way", the expression on her face will let you know she is upset. This is the time to be a manly man and gain immediate control of the situation. React quickly and calmly, say and do the following; Before she says a word, look at your watch and say"honey, look here at the time. BE A GOOD "LIL" WOMAN AND GET IN THE KITCHEN AND FIX ME SOMETHING TO EAT, WHILE I SHINE ON MY NEW MOTORCYCLE. The results are predictable and quite entertaining. |

All black all the time -- works for bikes and guns. Once you get 4, or more, she'll most likely never know the difference. I'd recommend regular inventory rotation to keep her confused and guessing. |

My wife became a cruise coordinator me> <her. It's okay though... she won't find me here. She got a V-Strom two days before I got my Uly |

My wife became a cruise coordinator That's kinda how I started. I would (and still do) coordinate trips for C3. Now I'm the HBIC (head B!tch in charge!), with banning rights! You and your wife should check out March Badness in Suches GA. There's a great group of Buellers in SC, check out their Storm Fronts. |

You and your wife should check out March Badness in Suches GA Went last year, it was a great ride out there, but the event itself was a bust due to weather. Have dates been set yet for 2009? Wayne |

the event itself was a bust due to weather What? I was there. I don't recall it being less than a great time despite the weather! There were a few test rides that were canceled, but it sure wasn't a "bust". |
