She said ok, but after we get a new roof on the house. This went on for a while. Like 17 years. New roof, windows, doors, deck, front porch, rewired the house, and a couple of other things. After each item was done I told her I'm getting a bike. So finally after I basically rebuilt the house. Nothing left to do, as everything is new. I told the wife that I'm buying a bike. She said ok. I go and buy a new bike and bring it home. She thought I was kidding all of these 17 years. Took her 2 months to go out to the shed to see the bike. She would not ride with me either. We stayed married for 30 yrs until she died from cancer. And she didn't like any of my hobbies. Wife number 2 loves to ride. And she loves my hobbies.
