Title: The new woman in my life.
Post by: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on January 28, 2023, 10:42:24 PM: I heard the words I never wanted uttering yesterday.
Wendy said something using the following words arranged wrongly.

" You think more of me than that bike" is what she meant I'm pretty sure.🤔🤔🤔

She understands :)

Wow 58 years that's impressive - even if I add the 7 years for my first marriage that's something to be proud of.

So what bike have you owned for 44 years??

Before I met Wendy she did try to ride a Triumph Tina from her parents house that had a very steep uphill drive to the house.

One setting off down the driveway she overshot the road going straight into the hedge of the neighbour opposite - her Dad declared her unfit to ride - funny part is she did not realise the seat operated the clutch!

Although I call her to death and she me I would marry her again in an instant.

Post by: ka-ja on January 29, 2023, 07:17:10 PM: Even after 58 years, I still think like oddjob, would make the same choice again, and she has no interest in bikes, and no knowledge on hobby costs, thanks very much.
