Whilst outlining my plans for my upcoming holidays. My girlfriend reminded me tonight of her first visit to CD a few years ago. (When she was "new")
I was talking to one of the trade vendors and he casually asked me what bikes I had.
As we walked away, she commented "I can't believe he asked you what bikes (plural) you had!" "I realize now, you are kinda normal, in some circles."
She couldn't come last year as she was attending a friends wedding. Lucky for me both the wedding party ride themselves, and forgave me (as far as I can tell) for choosing CD over their wedding.
My accepting girlfriend has since earned her motorcycle licence, and currently practices the basic road skills on a lowered KTM 525 SM I've put together for her. (Another reason for owning a small fleet!)
I'm looking forward to riding at Connondale, looking at old motorbikes, and talking to people for whom owning a few, or more, bikes is normal.
See some of you there.
