I think you need to buy a nice UTV or a couple of ATV's sounds like he really wants one!

Yes, he mentioned something about buying an ATV and riding with my cousins. I would like to see him ride through that swamp with those wild boys. The initiation ride would have him covered with mud like the truck was and I'm afraid the ATV would be riding him before it was over. lol

This is a little bit off the topic but still typically Sweetie Pie. We started dating while I was a student at Bama and he was working at his sister's Chrysler dealership. They accepted a nice looking Harley Davidson Sportster as trade-in on a new car but nobody there knew how to give it a test ride (they were afraid to try it). I was on my way home from school and saw it parked out front, wheeled in and asked him who was riding that beauty. They told me the story and I asked him to bring me the keys and let me listen to it. He was so embarrassed that his girlfriend would think of doing such an unladylike thing but reluctantly brought me the keys and "strolled" back out of the way to see what happened next. MEN! By then all the salesmen and mechanics were standing in a group waiting to see this dumb blonde have the crash of the century.

I strapped on the helmet, straddled the bike, cranked it and rode a couple of loops around the dealership to get the feel of the balance. That's when I spotted the men huddled in a group watching me and giggling. I couldn't resist the next temptation so I turned onto the street, popped a wheelie, and roared off for a short ride. I came back in and parked the bike, dropped the keys into his hand and said, "I believe your salesman made a good deal." If dirty looks could kill, I would have died right then. I gave him a hug and told him that I would see him and the sales manager at a dinner party we were having that night.

Just as I walked in the door of my apartment the phone rang. It was one of the salesmen calling asking me to come back to the dealership and bring my first aid kit and treat Sweetie Pie. His pride had gotten the best of him and he thought he could do what I did although he had never ridden a motorcycle before. He tried to kick-start it and it kicked back, skinning his leg from his ankle to his knee. lol

He limped in for the dinner party and was sitting with his leg propped up when we got another phone call. This time from the sales manager who decided that he would just ride the bike to the party; I had also wounded his pride. He had never ridden one either but did manage to crank it and ride a couple of miles before riding it off the road and down into a kudzu filled ravine. My brother-in-law went to pick him up and he was a mess with a skinned chin when he arrived at the party. I think they drank about a gallon of Crown Royal to ease the pain.

That's when I told them that test riding that bike wasn't my first "rodeo" and I had been both a Motorcross and Hare and Hound racer for a few years. Sweetie Pie said, "You know YOU could have gotten hurt when you popped that wheelie and took off like a rocket."

Gills, we do not get lost, sometimes we just are not sure of where we are! The worst part is when you get lost and your wife and girlfriend are both there to help!

I was using a GPS (once!) and I elected to have the british female voice instead of the male. So a little direction from a female is ok!
