A few of you familiar with my old blog may recall my best birthday surprise post, but I'll give you the in-a-nutshell version just in case. Last summer I bought my hubby a Harley for his birthday...I know.So even though Kirk is a Hot Harley Hubby and I am a *convert-biker-chick, we are probably not typical biker people (not that there's anything wrong with that). *You may read my conversion story by clicking on the link above.
Still, don't you think when you fulfil your hubby's lifelong dream of owning a Harley, there ought to be some quid-pro-quo? Don't you think HE could be doing something for ME, by at least pretending to be a "Bad Boy" when he takes the bike out?
If you disagree because you're one of those no-strings-attached gift givers, then at least consider this. With the pink slip to the Harley, I also received a FREE one-year H.O.G. membership for both of us. (For those who don't subscribe, this is the acronym for Harley Owners Group). I know that as a newbie to the Harley scene, I shouldn't put on airs and pretend to know it all. But I DID log 1,000 miles on the back of the bike before we had to winterize it. I am also a fairly observant person, and I'm pretty sure that seasoned H.O.G-ies would not be found doing this:
Yes, that's my husband...on a Harley...with a PUPPY tucked inside his coat. So, while I was at the computer responding to my loyal blog followers (all NINE of them - I love you) my hubby decided to fire up the Harley, which he claims is good to do at least once a week during the winter (like a Harley fitness program, I guess). Then, making the most of the warm-ish weather, he also decided to go for a spin.
Kirk's excuse when I questioned him about taking the puppy along for the ride? "Well I think it's a good idea for him to get used to the bike, before the warm weather kicks in."
Really honey? Keep in mind that our new puppy, who now I believe was aptly named "Rider", will DOUBLE in size by the time "warm weather kicks in". So I'm picturing this...
...and gravely pondering how this is going to impact our H.O.G. status. Do you think they'll cancel our membership?

I know nothing about H.O.G.'s. But I like the sidecar. And I'm sure Rider will, too. :)
My husband wants a Harley so bad. But I'm mean and won't let him get one.
And that story about the email is hilarious. Your husband can definitely come, but he might be the only testosterone at the table.
Awww, I think that side car thing would be cute. Then again, I'm not "cool" enough to ride a HOG.
I don't care who you are..thats just funny! I think I would probably hide the puppy ridin' puppy pictures..just in case!
Ouch Kirk.. What the heck!
For the record: I am totally a string attached gift giver with my husband. I enjoy getting some satisfaction out of a gift. Just one more thing that we have in common. We are totally blog bff's. :)
that is sweet! Bless dad's little heart!
P.S. Next time he decides to take Rider for a ride please make sure the pup is wearing a little helmet. Otherwise, I will feel it is my resposibility to place a call to C.P.S. and report you...
Now that is funny!
The side car is a must! Roxy wants to know if you could get a double seater side car for Rider's friends. She is very interested in Rider's wild side.
ahahahahahahaha! cracks me up! looks like you chose the perfect name for that little puppy, kathy.
Rider needs some leather and a helmet...he could totally rock that "HOG" look, I just know it....
I think you definitely should be receiving some quid pro quo, lady!
Could this sidecar be funnier? I say...no! Although...I laughed even harder when I saw the dog in Kirk's jacket. I think your harley passenger days are over!!!
What is the dog doing in the sidecar, Kathy? Shouldn't that be both you AND the dog?
As you know, true HOG members are really focused on image and reputation. Should your husband decide to continue riding with said puppy dog, your membership could very well be in jeopardy.
Beware! :)

I laughed so hard I cried and peed a little when I saw the sidecar... Then I saw the viking helmet thing on Kirk and did it all over again! Nice touch!
DUDE!
