My wifey, (recently completing the MSF course at the top of her class) has grown curiously close to my '05 TBA, after I made the mistake of letting her ride it from a recent road trip we took. She absolutely adores the America, and has no interest in her Honda anymore. I do allow her to ride the America to the gym, and also allowed her to take it to her MSF "reunion" they had last week.
Recently, I have had sneaky suspicions about a possible "take-over" of my TBA, which could be a good thing, in that I would need a "New" one to replace the "confiscated" one...
I thought my suspicions were valid night before last, as after I went to bed, and was almost asleep, I hear the garage door slowly creeping open. I listened for the distinct "popping" of my baby starting up, but figured she was too smart for that, and had probably pushed her up the road before starting her, just out of hearing range. The next day, I asked her about it, and she assured me that she would NEVER take my bike without my permission. The next day is when I found the dreaded "hairbow on the handgrip", which I think is some kind of female marking thing... I know, it's all my fault...I have surrendered one of my only remaining territories to the enemy!!!
