I'm now engaged.   
Elizabeth and the white Monster will soon be chasing me on the bike as well.  [moto]

I do need a bit of help though.  Her bike will not go into neutral (just started this) while running.  When you turn it off it goes right in.....weird....suggestions?  Also, the clutch engage/disengage is very short.  Suggestions on this too please.

Thanks all

BLEED BLEED BLEED......i bet that's all you need 

try bleeding the clutch

ah, Tommy beat me to it. 


And congrats on the engagement!

Thanks.

I see how you are. Buy her a bike to get her to say yes huh? I see. Damn your one smart cookie! And a good judge of character too! Many Congrats Amigo, Here's hoping you two have a lifetime of happy riding and no bumps in the road.  A big welcome Elizebeth and congrats also.

Ok, Tommy, here we go again, "yeah, she married up".

obviously I couldn't say no to another bike, rarely do these days (I'm on a motor diet for now though).  you could say this was the fly paper I needed to ensure a YES from her. 

Not knowing your wonderful bride to be can I please talk you out of this? Hey, take no offense, either of you, but it's my duty as a guy! Been there... twice. Just saying! As long as the bikes are there first (not community property!!) you are sort of OK. But when they start to "disappear" for furniture and curtains you are totally screwed. Forever. We will never see you again. Get her trained now to be accepting of bikes and bike friends or you are doomed. I have an advantage, sort of, I have been riding longer than my wife has been alive. Yeah, try and trump that? [moto] Good luck!! Hey, and seriuosly... congratulations!

been there already.  In fact, I said NEVER again and here I am.    The bikes and dog are non-negotiable PERIOD!  I actually took her on our first date 9 years ago and rode up to Wichita Falls in the rain there and back...she's hooked.

And thanks.

Wow, it only took you 9 years. I'd say you've gotten this one figured out if she's stayed this long ! She looks like a keeper dude. 

Hey Dax, congrats to you both!

Congrats Dax and Elizabeth on the engagement and the bike!!

Congratulations to both of you, hope you see many miles together  [moto]

it's a long story but I'll give you the short version.  Basically we dated as far back as 9 years and I left her because I'm an idiot.  Met my now ex wife shortly after and upon my divorce we re-connected as friends which led to this.  There, all done.
