40 Something.....

So, one of the first statements out of Shawn's mouth when we got here was "I think it's time I bought a bike." He owned one way back when we first started dating circa 96' and he promptly sold it. So I though that is was a passing phase. Well, for 15+ years I've heard him fondly talk of one day getting back on a bike. Fast forward to 2012 and tada.....I come home from a trip (which I will post about shortly) to find this beauty sitting in our garage :) He is like a proud father around this bike. And I have to admit, after purchasing me a helmet ( a very cool one at that) he took me for my first ride. Sweet is the best word I can use to describe it. I can see why people love the "sport" of riding bikes. There is a good chance that his parents had minor heart attacks when they saw the bike, and I'm still not 100% sure how my parents really took the news.....since they live too far away for us to have done any more than chat about it over the phone. You can say all you want, but let me tell you that the expression on someones face says it all! LOL!!

So, we are slowly kitting our selves out with gear. It's safe to say this has become some what of a new obsession/hobby. My 40 something husband has officially become a hot biker :) He's looking good with the leather jacket..oh baby....
