Wow, can’t believe it took 38 posts for that joke to drop ![]()
Oh boy, training wheels.
The Spyders are the worst of the car and motorcycle worlds, combined.
I bought a 74 Z28 Camaro, 32 years ago (in 1984). I was “between wives” at the time so there were no arguments. 
If you could afford the $30+ million for a 1962 GTO, then you could afford the bike, AND the donkeys, AND the swinging sex life pretty easy.
So did you vote for option #2 or option #3? ![]()
Different animal. Spyders are three wheeled bikes/snowmobiles you ride on in tandem.; Slingshots are three wheeled motorcycles/cars you ride in side by side…
Just for the record, the dumbest marital argument ever involved “You’re the One that I Want” and whether John Travolta is a woman.
But the second dumbest has to be the topic of this thread. Because it’s obvious you have to go for the itty bitty burros!
A donkey can’t consent…
Donkeys can’t but goats can. You just have to ask them if they are feeling a little frisky. If they aren’t in the mood, they just say…
Naaaah!
Nobody told me that donkeys were an option. I bought motorcycles instead.
Mine and Arrendajo’s itches are being scratched just fine. We ride our scooters together and solo as much as we can.
Although “an open swinging sex life” may sound enticing at times, it is high risk, and I don’t feel the need to take such risks… in the flesh. For me, that kind of itch can be satisfied with the right kind of porn.
Ooops! I saw three-wheeled and my mind immediately went to the Spyder. Didn’t notice that the link was for the Slingshot.
Slingshots are worlds cooler than Spyders.
BTW, in PA, if you take your motorcycle test on a 3 wheeler, you end up with a 3 wheeler restriction on your motorcycle license. If you want the restriction removed, you have to pass the riding test on a 2 wheeler.
Not all states consider 3 wheelers to be motorcycles for the purposes of licensing.
Also in PA, if you take the motorcycle safety class from the MSF, as long as you pass the class, you get your PA motorcycle license (with no restrictions) at the end of it. IMHO, the classes are a really good idea for anyone not taking the donkey route for their mid-life crisis.
I thought I would be in the class with a bunch of young kids, but us mid-lifers outnumbered the youngsters in the class I took.
I voted donkeys, but then my husband already has motorcycles (dirt & road), whitewater C-1s (like kayaks but you kneel rather than sit and use a single blade paddle), and a 1956 Piper airplane (that has already tried to kill him by whacking him in the head with her propeller).
Donkeys. Definitely.
To be clear, both of the first 2 poll choices were kind of comedic padding. There’s really only one choice here.
I saw this article and I was just captivated:
The Miniature Donkey Therapy Meet-Up
I mean, I need therapy, I love donkeys, what could be better? The wife unfortunately doesn’t see it that way. By the time I had deployed the motorcycle idea as a negative contrast, it seemed prudent not to try the same with the swinger idea.
Oh well. They’re not as miniature as all that, anyway.
I believe all of this was true in CA, too, and I kept my motorcycle endorsement when I moved to Maryland.
But I still don’t have a license for minature donkeys. ![]()
Apparently, combining options 1 & 3 is a thing. I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader how to work in option 2.
Let me slip into this old wife hat. Haven’t worn it in awhile…
Do you mean to tell me the man who declares Valentine’s day to be invented by Hallmark has bought into the old shibboleth of Men’s Menopause? Tell you what, Ace, give yourself a year of HRT and hot flashes and people referring to you as unbalanced due to your hormones and we’ll BOTH go get motorcycles.
Wife hat off. No wonder I’m divorced.
Er… have we met? I don’t think so, but in any case, you may want to go look up the meaning of ‘midlife crisis’ and ‘menopause’. They aren’t the same thing. (also check out ‘shibboleth’ while you’re at it).
At any rate, my condolences on the hormone thing which I know is very real and very unpleasant.
Yeah…ditto.
