Wifes' first ride

[ironbuttdean]

Took the wife out to Darien for lunch today; her first time on the new RT-S. She loved it and says I can keep it. That's good, since she gave it to me for my birthday and threatened to take it and leave me on the BMW.

She hasn't ridden for 25 years and we did about 180 miles. Gas mileage was up 2.4 mpg over the first few tanks.

Great ride; great fun and draws too much attention around here.

Big Win

Not the first time either. Sept 12, 2000 I got home from work and found her with bags packed. When asked where she was going she said, "We are going to spend the night at Palm Coast and go to Daytona BMW Saturday morning to pick up a new bike. Get in the truck".

Had been on the previous one since 1982; still have the 2000 but it's future in my garage is now in doubt.

Congrats...you win big!

Sounds like a good ride, the weather was beautiful for our ride up to the Allatoona Dam outside Cartersville. C'ya on the road.
