"Born to be Wild"

Okay so some of you might think I am a softy for my husband, and it might be true, but ever since we got together we have always discussed having a MOTORCYCLE or not. At first it was "No way, are you crazy. No no no!" Then it was "WHEN you finish school we can discuss this issue then." As Romulo was getting closer to finishing his schooling at BYU it turned to "You need to get a job first, then we can discuss it." After last summer when Romulo got the internship with PwC and at the end of it received an offer for a full time job it went to "We will need to see how the monthly budget rolls out (since SF area isn't the cheapest area to live in) AND you need to get at least a $1.0 million dollar insurance policy on yourself before I even think about you getting a motorcycle." That's not being soft, its being smart!

So here we are July 2008 and Romulo ISN'T crazy, at least at this moment he isn't, he's finished BYU, we've discussed this topic a million times, he has a great job, our monthly budget is a sound one, and he has taken care of the life insurance policy - a better one than we had agreed on...so you guessed it...let the pictures tell the rest of this story!

Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 883

As we drove home, I drove behind him the whole time because I was so nervous. And I don't recommend you taking pictures while driving. That made me even more nervous.
We got Romulo's Harley-Davidson at the McGuire Harley-Davidson dealership in Walnut Creek, CA. They were amazing and gave us a great deal. So can you imagine me on a Harley...NO! Me either ladies! Hehehe. It's probably going to take Romulo another 4 years to get me on that thing. I'm open to it but we will have to start with short trips and have me all geared up. The saleswoman at the accessory shop was awesome because she walked me through every type of piece of equipment I would need if and when I would want to ride. She told me that the most important thing about being the passenger is being prepared and having the right gear. I must say that the helmets for girls are really cute! So I think if I ever was to ride Romulo's bike I wouldn't be your typical HOG mama! OH man, its a different world! But I must say standing in that shop you seriously see all different types of people!

So, what do you think am I a softy or what?
