We're making it official on August 22 with a small wedding and a weeklong honeymoon on a Mediterranean cruise. Lots to do this fall, including building another garage for all the toys that need to be moved from Hastings to Roseville, but it will be a labor of love. I knew for sure she was the right one when we reroofed her house last summer, and after working long days together, we didn't have any cross words to say to each other and looked forward to the next day. She's a good riding partner and has her own motorcycle too! These are the moments when a man has to gaze upwards and thank the creator of the universe.

Congrats so when and where is the stag? You need a couple hundred greazy bikers to help you celebrate.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Congratulations!!!
Now, if you want to stay married... get a REALLY comfortable pillion. I highly recommend the touring seat (it is, per my wife and daughter, "Squishy and Delightful").

Good idea about a better pillion! Happily married is the way I want to be, even.
She's still gaining some miles experience on her Honda Nighthawk 250 (I just fixed the gas tank, thanks to the great advice from this forum) so I won't be riding on the back for a while yet. "Riding two up from now on" is my attempt at using a metaphor for us being on an adventure together, following life's twists and turns.

Another one bites the dust. Congrats old boy, hope you hasve a long and fruitful union. Been married 14 years next month. It'll be our parole anniversary! As I keep telling her, If I'd killed her instead of marrying her I'd be a free man by now.
