When the guy came to buy my Triumph he brought his brother along due to the fact that he broke his leg and needed help loading the bike. The brother engaged me in motorcycle conversation of which I was only too glad to participate. He got out his phone and showed me endless pictures of Harley-Davidson motorcycles describing in great detail the upgrades and modifications of each as he swiped through the pictures. I was never a "Harley Guy." I know the basics. I know a Shovel from an Evo. I know and Iron Head Sportster from an Evo Sportster. I even can recognize a Twin Cam from a Milwaukee Eight but to me they are pretty much all the same, big, high-torque V-twins. As he was rattling off the list of cool mods, upgrades and performance kits I found myself parroting my wife's response "Ooh that's nice!"
I now understand the effect I have on her when I regale her with the finer details of valve guide replacement, brake upgrades or ignition systems.
