Just think of all the money you could blow on racing if you didn't have a wife spending part of it! Now if I could just find a rich woman who owns a company that sponsors racing.....
True confessions time: When I said I wanted to go climbing in South America, my wife bought me the plane tickets as a present. 3 years ago she gave me tire warmers as a Christmas present, though I ended up trading them for parts I decided I needed more. When I crashed and mangled myself at Road Atlanta she was the first one to start talking about rebuilding the bike. And now, with me in college full time and a 2 year old daughter at home, the wifey's insisting that I run the full schedule of races this year. She even took a second job to make sure it happens according to plan.
I'd be a little suspicious alienator. It sounds like she's all too eager to get you out of the house! I'll leave whatever I think she's doing while you're gone up to your imagination. Or maybe she just likes to brag to her friends that she's married to a motorcycle racer stud.
Either that or she's lookin to cash in that life insurance policy... My ex wouldn't "let" me go racing either. So I traded her in for a girlfriend who's as big a motorcycle nut as I am! You definately need the support (or at least passive acceptance) of your signifigant other. It makes this "hobby" much more... possible?
It ain't the insurance.....cuz there ain't much to get. It must be the motorcycle racer stud thing, cuz when I spent 5 days in NE Georgia Med ctr after the crash, she slept in the front of the truck,in the hospital parking lot, just so she could be nearby.
Glad to see you have a sense of humor alienator. I was thinking we're a twisted bunch for turning a simple tire conversation into a marital discussion, innuendos and all! It sounds like you have an awesome wife. Does she have any single sisters that are just like her? P.S. Maybe the stud thing has nothing to do with your "riding" on the track!
Hey guys, don't get me wrong. I think marriage is a great thing and really is under-rated. In fact I would probably still be married to this day if it weren't for my wifes' jealous boyfriends.
