“We just want to check them out. It would be for my wife.”
The salesman takes us around and shows us the different models, and then he shows us all the storage they offer.
“I had no idea there was so much storage on these bikes.”
“Would you like to take a test drive?”
“Go ahead, Val.”
I take a seat, and I’m immediately surprised by how comfortable it feels.
“With the wheels in the front, you have more stability. Not only that, but when you’re stopped or it’s parked, there is no chance of it falling over. No kickstand. It’s an easier ride than on a two-wheeled standard motorcycle. And easier to steer than if the wheels were on the back.”
“Well, Val. Are you ready to make a decision?”
“Not yet. I’d be the only person at the club with a three-wheeler.”
“So? You’d be the first. Who cares?”
“Won’t they think I’m taking the easy way out?”
“Again, who cares? You should get what you want. What you feel comfortable riding.”
Chase shrugs and then states, “Val, why don’t you have the salesman write down the model and color you like in case we come back?”
“The cruiser and definitely blue.”
The salesman takes notes, punches it into the computer, and then hands us his card.
Chase starts the truck and says, “I’m hungry. Let’s stop and get something to eat.”

I pull into Shot In The Dark, “How does a burger sound?”
“It sounds great. I’m hungry, too. I had no idea it was getting so late.”
We walk into the pub and slide into a booth.
Quickly, the server comes around asking for our order, “A draft beer. Cheeseburger with everything and onion rings on the side.”
“For you, ma’am?”
“The same, but fries instead of onion rings, please.”
While we sit sipping our beer, waiting for our dinner, I smile at Chase.
“I can’t believe I’m even considering buying a motorcycle. I was never interested in motorcycles before.”
“They’re fun. I especially like to ride at night. Jacksonville is beautiful after dark.”
“Yes, it is.”
“Val, I like the idea of you riding a Can-Am Spyder because it’s safer than the standard bike. Nothing against your driving. You ride really well. But if you’re new to bikes, I just think you’ll be more comfortable with three wheels. I wouldn’t worry as much if you were on a Spyder.”
“Thanks; like I said, I’ll think about it. I need to make up my own mind,” she states firmly giving me a warning look.
