... but it only counts if you're riding on the same motorcycle.

As some of you know, my girlfriend and I made the trek to Custer, SD this year.  This was her first long distance m/c trip ever.  Long story short, she absolutely loved it.  At the time, my dad (who was also along for the ride, on his own bike, of course) predicted that if we made it through the week without getting on each others nerves, we'd be engaged by July.  Well, he was right.  After seven months of dating, Rachelle and I got engaged on Sunday and couldn't be happier.  She's a keeper and I don't intend to let her get away!

So, fellas, if you're dating a lovely lady who is up for a week-long m/c trip on the back of your bike, I would recommend that you go for it!  I think such a trip can serve as a relationship pressure cooker that will bring issues to the surface and show both of you what you're dealing with.

OK, I'm done philosophizing now.

Congratulations Shawn (shit, or is it Sean???) and Rachelle!!!   Bigok Beerchug

I knew she'd be the one for you when she made that little dig about your dad's shirt at dinner in Mitchell.  Lol

It's not the destination, but the journey, that counts. A sport-tourer's ride between two points is seldom a straight line. He will often seek the most convoluted route possible.

Unfortunately, no, we won't be there.  I know we have other plans, but strangely, I can't remember what they are at the moment.   Headscratch

Good thing I'm not marrying you then, eh?   Wink

I think Rachelle was more comfortable on the back seat of my bike than I was on the front.

Actually, she will be taking the MSF course in August to get her license.  I told her I'd never buy her a motorcycle unless we had the same last name.  Well, I guess her plan is falling into place.   Bigsmile

 Lol

Sit on the back of a 955 daytona and you will understand why I will have none of that.

I came with my own bikes, so I have not been able to talk the boyfriend into buying me any.  I should start working on this.
