She then spent over a *thousand Euros* on Rossi souvenirs - including Rossi *slippers*:
I bet she's on another forum posting about how she has the best spouse in the world.

Now that is romantic!
I had to leave out some of his better qualities, they are best not to be mentioned on a public forum.
He refuses the idea of getting married in a pedobear costume (with me in a school girl outfit) which I think would be hilarious, so it's not like we are perfect for each other.

Why is mine the best?
Well, when we first met I had just taken delivery of my brand new 1200 Bandit. I was pretty excited.
As we got to know each other, she told me about a bad experience she'd had on a bike years before. Her older sister's then-boyfriend had taken her for one ride around the block and scared the bejeezus out of her.
She told me biking would just have to be my own thing and she wasn't even interested in riding pillion.
Fastforward ~10 years and she now rides her own bike. In planning our next move she's 110% on board with the philosophy that our next home has to be amongst good riding roads.
Oh yeah...and there's the 44DD thing going on to...

I don't see the point of being married either, except making sure my parents are not next of kin.
Hence the pedobear/school girl suggestion.

I thought about it, the boy toy is the only person I do not wish was dead on a regular basis.
Praise indeed.
My wife has ridden on the back of my current bike exactly twice. Before we were married, 14 years ago, she rode along all the time.
But you know, it doesn't matter. She is the only woman I have been with that actually fits the term " compatible" She is so easy to be with all the time. She never thinks I shouldn't go for a ride when I want to and she has made my life easy and fulfilling, and I hers'. That's really all I want, but not easy to come by.
One side note. When I bought the Duc, she thought it was cursed. I'm not kidding. She worried every time I went riding. But I always came back in one piece and now, after a couple of years, I think she is over that.

I have the best wife in the world . . .
. . . because after I sold my 72 Triumph Bonneville in 1975 before we were going to get married because we were students and broke, and we needed the money (and I then whined for many years about the "classic" I'd lost), she gave me a 1972 Bonneville for my birthday in 1992. It could not have been easy to find, especially for someone who didn't know a lot about motorcycles.
I still have it. The top end is apart right now for a rebuild (it is an older Triumph after all), but it's since been fully restored (mainly by me) and is normally ridden fairly regularly. I've spent many happy (well . . . usually happy, sometimes frustrated) hours tinkering with it, and I am now the God of Amal carburetors and have even decided that Lucas electrics aren't totally evil (just a bit on the dark side).

Cause she loves bikes as much as i and sometimes knows more than i do about em...depends on the model. and she can spot em quicker then i. well, she's got 13 yr younger eyes than i. she has gone to my track days and loves it....... except when i crash. then i worry about her being mad at me for wrecking, but she shows her true form by caring about me and making sure i'm gtg before worrying about the bike. She puts up with a LOT of BS i do and lets me buy a bike when i want to or sell when i want to. she loves to ride as much as i and has probably even more fun since i can hear her laughing thru the helmets when we go thru the curves with some vigor. She will give me the "go faster" motion when we are only doing 135. She wants her own bike down the road (when the kids have grown up some). i can go on some more, but what matters the most....
She loves my sorry A$$ as much as i do her!!

Why?
She never complains about my riding whether it be sport-touring or off-roading. Never complains about the money I spend to get a 'fix', never complains about how fast I'm going when she's on the back of the FeeJeR, she has a bladder bigger than mine, and last but not least, caters after me/nurses me when I'm injured (like, right now --ACL surgery) even when I got hurt on a bike.

She's the best mother for my son that I can possibly ask for! And she does love me, my riding and obsessions!
My wife hesitated a bit when I got back into riding but said, "I want you to be happy and if I stop you from riding, you wouldn't be happy."
