Gina and Triumphgoddess--
Yep - what's a husband?....not having had one for quite some time, and not so sure I want another one....for any number of reasons, one of which is that I LIKE making my own decisions.

And yes, John seems to be one of those good ones.

John - I actually got rid of my first bike for my soon to be husband - he didn't like them and was afraid of them (possibly for good reason), and he agreed to stop chewing tobacco. It took him 10 years to hold up his end of the bargin, my bike was sold within months of the deal.....se la vie....

You just need to get her involved....taking the MSF course, not necessarily together(husbands can be a little too overprotective sometimes)....reminding her of the past good times on a MC. I agree with the theory too that if you don't live it now, you won't get a chance later.... leave life without regrets (of any kind).
my 2 cents
