Haha....thanks, I'll tell my friend...No, but she's got two brothers if that's any help.

I volunteer at a motorcycle shop one day a week and I pre-deliver and service the RE 350's. I find them very comfortable and easy to ride. Unpacked one the other day and it was painted in a powder blue, gunmetal and white graphics - looked good. Hope your wife loves it.Wife asked me to ride her new bike home today from the dealership ,RE 350 meteor , rush hour , 4klm on the clock, wax on the tyres and intermittent rain with warnings about damage. Made it home in one piece, she poured me a drink and helped me remove the head and cylinders off the xs.View attachment 205826View attachment 205827
My wife is the same.My garage, and now my new shop, are "Nasty, stinky, dirty and repulsive." (So Plan A is working...)
She doesn't know a screwdriver from a wood chisel. No, really. I caught her using one of my wood chisels to tighten the handles on cabinet doors in the kitchen. That was years ago, I put a basic selection of tools in a drawer in the kitchen and forbade her touching anything else.
She bitches about the money from time to time, but in general if it keeps me happy, home and out of her hair, she's good with it.
People win against it. I've met some of them. I believe you can too.I too gave up smoking, 25 years ago, I kept the wife though. The giving up smoking thing didn't work though: Diagnosed with lung cancer four years ago, so the right lung was removed. That didn't help either, it came back 18 months later, so I underwent chemo and radio. But still it didn't help, it came back again 18 months later, underwent more aggressive radio. Won't know the results for a while. History says it'll come back again, but I can't have any more radio, so when it it comes back for the fourth time it'll be immunotherapy, After that it's goodnight' Dick! I won't be taking the wife with me though, I've heard it gets pretty hot down there, she doesn't like hot climates.
That RE is a sharp looking bike. I know it’s new but what’s the build quality look like?Wife asked me to ride her new bike home today from the dealership ,RE 350 meteor , rush hour , 4klm on the clock, wax on the tyres and intermittent rain with warnings about damage.

I can certainly understand it.I just read an article entitled “ What to do when hobbies steal your spouse.” Hoo boy there are a lot of angry, resentful women out there! If it’s not cars, it’s golf, or watching too much sports etc. , and believe it or not, for the younger generation video games. A lot of women are apparently feeling ignored and neglected and resent the money spent on hobbies.

If she works, takes care of the kids, and puts dinner on the table, while you play video games, all I can say is, "DON'T BE A DICK!"I can certainly understand it.
When looking closely the wife noticed the rear mudguard/ number plate holder is off center and the routing of cables and brake lines could be neater but overall it's a tidy bike, great in heavy traffic but don't get one if you want a sports bike. Running it in so max speed up to 500 klms is 70 klm per hour, 500 to 2000klms is 80klm speed limit. Wife loves it, took her out riding yesterday in the pouring rain.That RE is a sharp looking bike.
