Sport bikes should come with helmet and leathers in the package. Me and the Mister's first date was a bike ride, with only a pair of shades for protection. During the ride, a couple of kids standing on the corner of a stop sign asked, "Wow! Is that your wife?!" and he didn't hesitate in answering, "Yes."
But, he knew how to handle it, and I trusted him when he would say over his shoulder, "Hold on," at which cue I was take hold of the 'sissy bar' and we'd stand in a wheelie and then test the limit of its top end (but only in a straightaway with no chance of any other traffic emerging out of nowhere). We miraculously lived through those adventurous times, but it wasn't long after that our first son was on the way, and the bike was sold. I supposed it had served its purpose enough for him
