...decides to take up motorcycling. Her hubby got a Harley a couple years ago and they are all about the whole Harley thing (all their clothes say Harley, they've renamed all their kids after different models, and they can't ride unless they are in a line of 86 motorcycles). She's never piloted a bike. Hasn't even taken the MSF class. With this in mind she's decided her first bike will be a 2011 Harley Soft Tail Deluxe, which weighs in at 726lbs. She's about 5'2", 140lbs of total goo. Barely enough muscle to support her head. Besides weighing 726lbs, she says the bike will cost about $15,000. These folks do not have much disposable income. She's had to cut back to generic cigarettes and Old Milwaukee to pay the mortgage.

My wife also took up motorcycling around 50. She's 5'11", 140lbs, and is built like a beach volleyball player (she's also a 2nd degree black belt in TKD and a kickboxing insturctor). Her first bike was a 450lb Katana we paid $1000 for (she now has a 2008 Bonnie).

I am realizing just what a cruel SOB I am because I WANT her to pull the trigger (I also dislike her intensely).

Actually, her biggest problem may be limiting her alcohol consumption, which I do not believe she will do. No idea if she'll ride drunk. Maybe.



Wait, how is it you live in NC but you have neighbors that obviously live in WV???those states don't touch ...and i can make that joke one side of my family is from WV...note i said one side.
