Sunday morning we're lying around talking and the subject of the SP3 comes up. She knows I'm trying to figure out how to budget in new rims for it.
She says, "didn't you want to get springs or something for it too?". Almost any other woman and this would be a prelude to, "you need to make up your mind what you want." Then she says, "we're selling your bike because you got tired of dodging idiots in cars who aren't paying attention. Can you buy the rims and tires if you take whatever is left over from selling the bike after we pay the note?" My ex-wife would have already had that money allocated to stuff she wanted for the house. This woman has the simple (and fair) notion that money from one of my toys should rightfully go to one of my other toys.
Later we're in the car and she asks if I decided which tires to get. I explain that I want Falken 615 but I can't even pretend that they are a reasonable year round tire for North Carolina. Fortunately, the same company makes another tire that handles almost as well and I could make them go year round (452). She thinks on that for a few seconds and says, "if you're going to get new rims, why don't you get the tires you really want on those and put winter tires on the factory rims?"
Is there any question why I love this woman?
