OK, Not only does she insist we park the Valkyrie and its trailer inside the family room........TODAY........Im gone already, on the way to LOWES to pick up supplies to finish a couple projects around here.......my phone rings..........Shes mowing the back yard and had to move the BBQ. (did I mention she was mowing the back yard!!!) An OLD OLD Weber pot grill that I love, but its old, and falling apart.  So she says......"honey you better pick out a new grill you like.....the leg just fell off this old thing"

So I find a brand new Weber grill, but they stopped putting some of the features on their stuff that I was very used to and they wanted $90 for the thing.  Close by was  Fantastic BBQ/Smoker that uses coals or wood and has lots of cool features, twice as big as the Weber for ten bucks more......

So there goes a quick hunnered dollars.........I get home, and she says  "WOW........I was looking for one like that to surprise you with and couldnt find one, and here it is.........perfect honey"

She the one who INSISTED I go talk to the bank and get the Valkyrie. She bought at least half the tools in my garage. "You didn't have one of these did you?"
When she dragged home a set of pneumatic tools, I explained that they ran off air and I didn't have a tank large enough. She drug out the Harbor Freight circular, pointed to a picture and asked. "Would this one do?"
Sorry boys. No sisters. She's one of a kind, and I've got her.

Uhhh Hamburgers is kinda like steak? Right?  Embarrassed  I mean it came off a cow.
I got one of the infrared grills. I did eventually run some steaks over it too. Loved it. The grates are deep and you can supposedly put wood chips down in them for a smokey taste. I just use my smoker for that  though.
Congrats on the new grill. Wear it out quick.

My wife does'nt ride much with me cause she just can't get used to leaning into a curve.  She came up to me the other day and suggested we buy a trike so she can go more often.  I said I could'nt sell my Valk , she said that's ok, we'll have two!  So I'm lookin and saving money for a winter purchase.  Just love that ol gal!    cooldude Hoser

'splain to her that the only way she is to "lean" into a curve is into you and to NOT put any added weight on the foot pegs - as they are tied directly to the handlebars....

Hozer, I know I am preaching to the choir....

Grandson was coming to town for the Memorial Day weekend.  Wife bought me a new grill. We cooked ribeyes, pork ribs and some sirloins Saturday.  Then the family came over on Sunday and I cooked burgers and dogs for 19 people. Our old grill just gave up and she really wanted us to cookout.  Hard to beat a gal like that.  Bought us a 3 burner Infared and it works great.

I had trouble with mine when I bought my first motorcycle.  I couldn't talk the seller down on price, because the wife was behind me chanting "I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT!"
Had trouble again when I found our Valkyrie.  She was "upset" because she wanted to surprise me with one.

She's got sisters, but trust me, they aren't anything like her.

 Went to buy patio furniture, came back the proud owner of a new to me 99 black/silver tourer. Wife and daughter set it up to surprise me. Daughter had seen the bike while out with her boy friend bike shopping. Wife talks me in to going to look at some patio chairs with her,  as I'm going down the feeder road we see a bike shop she says lets  turn in and look. The valk was inside and as the owner and I are talking I tell him I'ld have to talk to bank about the money, wife says credit union has all the paper work done already just sign the paper work and it mine. You talk about a grin that can't be removed I had one that day and most days since. Denise, she's a keeper. cooldude
