Critical Thinking

I'm giving serious thought to how I'm going to break it to my bride that I'm "in the market" for a trail bike (motorized). This is going to involve some critical thinking.

A couple of years ago after not being able to get one of my motorized "Barn Gadgets" started, I said to her, "The next time I say anything about buying something else that has a motor in it, would you remind me I said I wasn't ever going to buy one more thing that has a motor in it!" Now I realize I hadn't ought to have said that. Just like everyone knows 15 minutes could save you 15% on your car insurance, they also know that most boys who grew up in small town America in the 60's and 70's, love things with motors. Especially recreational things like motorcycles, 4-wheelers and tractors. It's not that the guys from my genre don't have an appreciation for blenders, food processors and the Clarisonic Brush, but try riding a blender "down through the creek and up to Mike Watson's house"---it simply can't be done. With that in mind, the official thought process begins. I'll keep you posted...
