Um, I think you just answered your own question.
The reason it took you so long to like motorcycles was because your "now husband" was a "then jackass".....

Mines black too. I think it's beautiful, with just enough power for me. I will never need or get a bigger bike, because I'm only 5ft. 1in. I can just reach the ground now! LOL!

Welcome to TMW! Oh, and that story was just awesome... cool how things turned around and now you are enjoying life in a new way!
I know I love how it runs and sounds. It's smooth and powerful enough to keep up with hubby. I absolutely love the weekend rides. It's quickly becoming a family tradition now. I also have noticed how addicting riding can be, and how every time I hear a bike now I instinctively turn to see what kind of bike it is.
Hubby says I am becoming a true biker very fast, and then he laughs.
Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
