Steve, please don't compare women and motorcycles as there is no comparison.
They both get hot, but motorcycles don't call you a bum.....
thanks...

Call me weird for having such radical thoughts, but it is my
anything-but-humble-opinion that what makes a woman a great Significant
Other is not just what she's like when things go well, but even more
importantly, what she's like when things go really badly. On that level,
one's motorcycle shares something in common.

members who are preparing to pounce on me for comparing a motorcycle to a
human being.
