Well Dave, actually I kind'a feel sorry for the guy.

'Cause even over HERE in The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave, I've known and know of more than a few good ol' American fellas who "kowtowed" to their wives demands of "gettin' rid of that motorcycle" once they started poppin' out those little rugrats and until said rugrats went off to college!

(...in FACT, I'll betcha there's "a few" of them poor devils who went through THAT who're readin' THIS right NOW around here...though luckily, I never did, and thus I remained FREE to pursue MY "path toward happiness" on all MY motorcycles all those years, uninterrupted!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
