If I ride to "the store or something" I have to leave her at home, alone. Yes, she's old enough to be left home alone, even for a couple of hours. However, in the event that my wife calls while I'm out and my daughter says, "I'm home and Dad is out on his motorcycle," she might as well tell her that Dad is:
1. parachuting out of a burning plane that he traded our house to buy
2. doing the nasty with a crack whore in a car out front
3. voting Republican
4. smoking bath salts and lining up his next face-to-face.
I love my wife, but there is a virtual wall between her and my motorcycle-related life.
And Pampersbuyer - I think we need a new thread that includes a "pool" for the date and time of delivery.
