congrats!! many funny moments are in your future..........some headaches also. but it's worth it!

don't get stung by the same thing my wife got me with. "I have seen you ride. Don't you agree that it's best that you sell the bike until the kids get older because there is no way i could handle having you seriously injured and two young kids?"
it was said with that look and in that tone that only women know how to use. you know the one that says...my suggestion to you is to agree! 10 years later i got a new bike.
Food for thought [thumbsup]

ROFL  Thanks, guys!  We've already had the 'keep the bike' talk.  I'm safe for now.  She's cool with it.  She was also cool with the couple of wheelies I did on the way home...  I had to celebrate!  [thumbsup]

It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Yeah, I had to get rid of TWO wives for that very reason.   [moto]

You've choosen wisely grasshopper! I've been riding longer than my wife has been alive, she can fuss but it falls on deaf ears. Even the turkey encounter didn't help her cause. But I can easily see how having some young kiddos could alter your thinking while riding. Maybe a good thing. Might help cut down on the "hey, hold my beer and watch what I can do on my bike!" stuff. Not saying that's you, just a general thought. [thumbsup]

Enjoy your last few months of uninterrupted sleep.

Seriously

I have two.  I love them something crazy.

But these last 3 years have aged me 10.

Hope you have lots of family nearby.

enjoy them, they wreck your life, but if you have fun it is worth it.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Thanks, guys.   [thumbsup]  I seriously appreciate all the kind words and encouragement.  My sister and her husband live in Lewisville, but the rest of my clan is in the New Orleans area...  Both of our moms are chomping at the bit to visit more often.  I've told them both that the guest bedroom is always open.  I think between the two of them (and the parade of aunts and cousins that are going to visit) and our friends, we'll be able to cope.

Now, the first step is to trade my 2-door car in for something with 4 doors.  My parents have offered us their minivan, but a man is nothing without his principles...  [cheeky]
