Random Thoughts

I'm not sure that I like the idea, but my husband is thinking about getting a motorcycle. While I know there's no stopping him when he makes his mind up, and I'm not sure I really want to, the whole thing makes me a little nervous. There's so many stories about terrible accidents involving bikes. At least I can make sure that he buys a good motorcycle insurance policy to go along with his new toy.

He keeps telling me how fun it will be to ride together. In a way, he's gotten me slightly excited about the idea when I'm not thinking about the potential problems. Maybe, he'll be right, and we'll have a great time riding around together as our own little thing without the kids. Of course, I'm sure they'll want to take a ride just as soon as they're big enough. What kid doesn't love a bike?

At least I have some time to get used to the idea. He's planning on putting in some extra hours to pay for it. Something always seems to come up to use any extra money, so I'm sure it'll take quite some time for the money to add up. He has to take a safety course and get a motorcycle license, too. I keep thinking that might be enough for him to know whether he really wants his own bike.

I have to admit, it will be fun to pick out all the accessories to go with a new bike. We'll need helmets, motorcycle boots, and jackets. I guess I'll have to wait to see which type of bike he picks out before I know whether to go with basic black or to pick a certain color. Just listen to me. I had to find at least one good thing about this whole adventure.
