Newbie with his sights set high...
True, CB. I'll start working on that. And besides, by the time I actually get a bike, with any luck I'll have a job and be able to pay for repairs/maintenance should I need it. In time she'll get off her high horse and see things my way, I hope.

Heh! I could imagine. That's not bad, actually. And ironically enough, she said it'd be a better idea to get a bike in Dallas(where the rest of the family is) than down here, where they're asking up to $800 over the MSRP. Everything is "O Ring" backwards. Like the wild west...
