When we met, our "first date" was, in fact, on a Honda CB750, a jaunt down to the local burger hangout, where she hardly took a bite from her burger due to the sheer excitement of being wind-swept on the backseat. She loved that bike, I swear, sometimes more than she loved me. I'm sure it was what the bike stood for... new, carefree, exciting, dangerous. Isn't this the mentality of a new affair? My, how things change after a few years of marriage.



Sounds like it's time for rekindling those feelings on a new Triumph. That's what my wife's eyes told me when she handed me a check for mine last December. 20 years ago, our first date was similar to yours. Had other bikes in between, but the Triumph reminded her of "our" first bike. We're back to taking midnight rides to nowhere. Life is good!
