Welcome Shep and yeah, sounds like you ahve a good one. Wife I mean. Mine did about teh same thing and when I told her i found a great used one she actually told me to go buy NEW! Yeah NEW. well, I bought a 05 in Nov. 06 with 420 miles on it and at a great price that I couldn't pass up. Isn't it nice to have such good wives? Congrates on the new X also.

Hey, Welcome Shep!!!
Yep, I have a wife like that, too. I am 51, and last year, when I found a great deal on an '05 1800R my wife looked at it and said "Buy!" so I did...

God bless Her.
Same here....I'm about to retire next year. Between spring fishing and fall hunting I have little to do. My wife said...You need to find something to do in the summer. I was joking when I said what about getting another motorcycle. She said sounds good to me. I almost grabbed my chest and hit the floor. It took all of a week to have a new X in the drive.
My wife took a spill on Friday in the garage. Bleeding from her split lip, bruised on the knee, hand, and elbow, she got up and asked, "We're not going to miss the ride are we?" Gotta love 'em!
