| It's All About the Bike |
| My husband bought a motorcycle. Motorcycles aren't new to him; he's owned one kind or another for years. But recently, after a spell without a two-wheeled toy, his pupils began to glow like chrome halogen headlamps, and he ordered a Yamaha FJR 1300, which came in last week. I haven't seen him since. |
