Best wife ever!!!

[Guest Guest]

Hi,I just stumbled across this forum because for Fathers day my wife and kids presented me with a brand new 2000 WR400f. I totally flipped. I have been riding a 1982 CAN-AM 250 for last 18 years, what a change. My wife got the dealer to deliver the bike at6:00 am and start it just outside our bedroom window! boy was I suprised. So like any other committed(or is that should be committed)rider, I broke it in and did the first oil change by 9:00 am and loaded up the whole family for Tahuya and promptly put about 50 miles on the bike. WOW!!!

Rick,

welcome to our disfunctional group ? . Sounds like you have a good woman.

Sounds like you got a real keeper, I have enough trouble trying to get my girlfriend to even wash mine yet alone buy me a new one....

I think if my wife bought me a bike out of the blue, I'd probably cry w/ happiness!

Jumping from a Can Am to a WR, I'd cry harder!! How in the world did you keep that bike up, parts wise??

Feel lucky my friend. You have a fantastic wife!!

Rick,

Any chance of you joining us in Moab Oct. 7-8? If so, maybe you could bring your wife, and she could put on a seminar or something for the other wives/girlfriends that will be patiently awaiting our returns... ?

Freeze,

THAT IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A seminar...If you could develop a training plan, a new concept could spread all over the world. All we need is some info-mercials, a little financial backing, some eager instructors and we'd be set.

Just think...A NEW WORLD OF THINKING!

I don't know about you, but I am overwhelmed!

I'm sorry the wife has proven once again why I picked her, she is not for sale. Moab sounds like a great time but just to be a nice guy I booked a week on Kauai for that same time to show her how much I liked her present...bad timing I guess. I do on the otherhand have a pretty nice evolution bike for sale.

Rick What are you feeding her? Is this just a whim or is this the everyday norm? That's too cool ? that she thought that much of you but, if the bike was about $5600-$6000 dollars ... I can just imagine what she wants for her birthday Anyway welcome to our sick group of guys that will give there employers any excuse just to play hooky and roost their buddies.

wr400_jay,

Not only did I have to do the vacation thing, she conned me into a new car over last weekend! MAN this is one exspensive bike! I dont think the seminars or infomercials would help out any of you guys as she would teach your wives and girlfriends how to break your accounts as well. Her cost $5600.00 My cost, vacation $3500.00 New car $16,000.00 It really hurts to do the math. I guess it's the thought that counts.

[Kevin_in_New_Hampshire]

Referencing my colledge calc I & II, and knowing what I know about women, those numbers DO sound even!! ?

Hey! Good for your wife! I am another proud wife that just surprised my husband with a WR400F! He was so excited, as were the kids. I just got sick of him riding my TTR125L and so I called the dealer and told them I was on my way down. I surprised him at work and he was shocked. Didn't think I would get it for him. He's wanted it for months! Now thw whole family has bikes, minus the baby. I love the idea of riding as a family. Good Luck to all others.
