The only chain I'm pulling is the one attached to a ball.
All seriousness, though, as part of my "Green Light for Bike" campaign, I have been researching the Triumph on the internet in her present. I have been reading pages after pages of this forum next to her while she's reading her book. I have turned a picture of a Triumph into my desktop, so when she fires up the computer the Bonneville greets her. I brought brochures and a few motorcycle magazines home and strategically placed them at the bedside where she can see them. I have resurected an old copy of my tattered hardcover book, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle" by Robert M. Pirsig, and begun reading it while she flips through her Cosmopolitan.
Trust me, I am not pulling your chain. Short of "shock and awe," I have bombarded her consciousness with motorcycle. But, of course, she is no dummy; she knows what I'm trying to do. However, she is has not chastised me for my effort. I would consider this being slightly closer to having a Triumph in my garage.
Keeping my fingers crossed and my effort up.

I've always said the reason for a premarital physical is so that you guys can get measured for proper ball and chain fitment.
Saturating the environment with Triumph stimuli.... Next you can move up on the desensitization scale by driving by Triumph dealerships.....do you know anyone with a Speedie or an America who can do the occasional drive by?
