Go get it. If Mrs. beet truely knew how miserable you'd be without, I think she'd give in...

[stoinkythepig]

I'm curious about what you intend to get and what you have now for bikes.

[Stoneman]

'Kay, beet...seriously. If I may, I'd like to share with you some points I made after my accident when my wife (and ENTIRE family) wanted me to hang it up:

"If I hadn't crashed, you'd NEVER ask me to give it up" That was my big one. I usually resorted to that one when others weren't getting me the ground I was aiming for...

"You know what it'll be like for me if I don't have a bike" This one worked good too...

"You enjoyed riding on it as much as I did" Another good one, but not as potent as the others...

"If you burned your mouth on hot coffee, would you give it up?" "If you get stung by a bee, are you gonna stay indoors the rest of your life?" or, (this one was my fave) "If you get into a car accident, are you gonna stop driving?" These often came up in our 'conversations' about getting a new ride...

I also agreed to only spend what I got from the insurance company on a new one, which worked out to be a good call. It was kinda like trading it even, the hard way...

Another thing I did was include her when I was shopping around. I'd have her sit on the passenger seat with me on it, ask her if it was comfy for her. Ask her how she liked the color, etc...

Needless to say, something I said worked. I've purchased THREE bikes since my accident 3 years ago....

she knows jay!!!!!! she dont understand

[Stoneman]

I have a feeling you're gonna be pulling a bike outchyo ass REAL soon...

[legalspeed]

"Face it, I'm gettin another ride. Could get another bitch too you know! She'll look just like ya' but not as ornery."

That might not work for everyone though.

[stoinkythepig]

A thought: Use this time to plant the seed of a bike upgrade plan. Be nice about it all Winter and maybe in the Spring she'll come around. In the mean time, you can fix up the broken one from Stoinky's used parts emporium...

My story:

5 or 6 years ago when I suddenly had the desire to ride again after a long absence, my wife was dead set against it. 6 months later she relented and "let" me get a used bike. Eventually, she realized I was no longer a menace to myself (either that or looked long and hard at the life insurance policy...) and supported my habit. She enjoyed riding pillion for a about a year before getting the desire to have her own bike to ride. Now she rides her own bike and even bought me a new bike two years ago.

[LM954RR]

Don't tell her you're going to buy one....Just do it!

It's always easier to ask for forgiveness, than it is to ask for permission. And where simply asking for forgivness....there is no room for rejection.

[Stoneman]

beet, you're too funny man! Hey, just show her the poll you set up!

*In my best Dan Rathers voice*

"In an overwhelming show of support this week, voters have confirmed the obvious. In a stunning landslide margin, voters have sided with beet in this election and have chosen to stand behind his quest whole heartedly."

"What type of implication this will have in Beetonia? Only time will tell. Back to you Karen"

Today, it is ME that's cracking me up!
