This is for all my buddies who really pulled one over on me. For the past several months I have been doing all my research on exhaust systems trying to decide what I wanted to put on my 1300C. I’ve had my buddies run up their bikes side by side comparing one brand to another, ridden with them, and doing a lot of comparisons. Finally decided on the BUBS. Well, all that’s left is to save up the bucks.
So for the past several M/G’s and rides all my buddies keep asking when are you getting the BUBS? What’s the deal, what are you waiting on? Well, thanks to my wife, who keeps telling everyone that the budget says no to any BUBS, naturally the door has been opened up for a lot of yankin’ on my chain and a lot of good fun. Four times now the BUB fund has been used for something else. This too has been a great source of jokes.
Yesterday a few of us from our regular group meet up to go for a short ride to check out an area for an event we are planning. As luck would have it I was the last one to arrive at the meet up spot. All my buds were standing in a group shooting the breeze as I pulled up. As I walked up no one really said anything. I said, hey guys what’s happening? They all turned as though they hadn’t see me and said “Oh, hey man, we didn’t hear you pull up.” Of course we all started rolling with laughter. I tried to come back with something but didn’t have a chance. All I could do was point my finger at them and laugh. It went on pretty much all day in one way or the other which made for a great day.
Well, today I find out that all the chain yankin’ that has been going on for weeks has all been fueled by my wife. She has been egging them on. That’s because unknown to me she had ordered the BUBS for my birthday and they all knew it. Their wives knew it, their kids, everyone at work, and I guess half the town. Now my birthday was two weeks ago and due to hurricanes and what ever else it’s taken several weeks for delivery. This was great for all my buds because they had weeks to mess with me because I had no idea what my wife had done.
I didn’t have a clue until this morning when I went outside and saw a box on the front porch apparently dropped off by UPS. I said “Whats that box?” It was then I saw BUBS in big letters on the box. My wife was setting there looking at me with this, I got you so good look on her face. I was totally taken by surprise.
So to all my buddies all I can say is, just wait. You all know what pay back is. The best thing about it all is knowing that only good friends would do such a low down dirty deed.
And as far as my wife goes. Well, I’ve always known she is one of a kind. I can only hope that I’m half as important to her as she is to me. I’m one lucky dude.
