My pond is looking good, and the lily pads are almost at the surface.
I need marital assistance. We are going to the coast to see my mom for 4th of July (and I have to BBQ for 20 people). I want to take the bike because Hwy 1 + bike = Nirvana. It is about 150 miles over the mountains with some nice twi sties to get there - including the spot where James Dean died (kinda - they moved the road so the actual spot is in a field.). My older son is bringing his girlfriend and - I WIN DAD OF THE YEAR- I am letting him drive her over and keep the Sunchaser for the holiday weekend.
My wife is adamantly opposed to me taking the bike, convinced I will be taken out by a moron in an oversized SUV with a “SAVE THE OCEANO DUNES” sticker on the back. How do I convince her that I can ride to the coast and not die?

Don’t play koi with us!
Now that I have the pun out of my system, you should lobby for taking the bike at a funny time of day when most of the morons are in bed and you’re only sharing the road with the drunks and tweakers.

You’ll kill yourself?
Say, how much for a quarter ounce of “Li
ly Pads”? Do you break those packages down?

Need more logistics info.
How long will you be there for? Is it just a day trip, or a multi day trip? How will she be getting there?

My first really long ride was pretty miserable, even on a bike that was designed to be a sport-tourer. Granted, the way wasn’t twisty and I got caught in a traffic jam, but if I were in your shoes, I’d be sure I could make the trip without being miserable (and upsetting my wife in the process).
