Aucourant? First I had to learn what salacious meant during the Clinton years, now this.

Geez... your poor guys! I must be in the minority on this - my wife is an avid biker! Rides her own 1150R & Heritage Softail.

Makes life, and the purchase of motorcycle parts, that much easier. That much less money to eat with or pay the kids' tuition bills, but easier none the less.

Andrew,
Very nice article. Your wife is quite skilled in the art of writing. I paticularly liked the way she draws out the readers imagination with the comments like

" Her twin cylinders ("Jugs he calls them") silently mocking me. Compete with this they seem to say, laying down the proverbial guantlet. "

And it would appear that she embraces your need for hobbies or she wouldn't be involved enough to bother writing an article for O.N.
Great article, You are blessed with a good woman. Hopefully this article will open some doors, and she will be able to do more writing.

I'm glad that some have enjoyed Betsy's story (I had nothing to do with it)!


I will pass all of your kind words on - she will be thrilled!

I guess I did though.... [For those that don't know, I smashed that puppy up before A. turned it back into a jewel.]

Can't believe that was you Andrew, ... I actually showed that cover to my wife cuz she's a garage widow too (different reason though ), but didn't make the connection...

Cool... I'm famous... kinda
