Well no parole this year, 33 years marriage today and still no parole, well 33 years to my wife who puts up a lot from me, we have known each other since we were kids, her dad was my dad's best mate and Debra was the oldest of 9, 5 sisters and 3 brothers she is also the shortest of the lot 5' nothing lol but I was 30 years old before we went on the first date I thought I better start thinking about kids of my own and she happened to be living next door to my mate in a block of flats, my mate wasn't home and Debra was hanging her washing on the line beside the fence.
Well a quick hello and she invited me in for a cuppa and some cake, take night we went out for a pizza, 2 weeks later I sort of moved in with her, she was having troubles at the time with her ex boy friend but he soon got the hint when he showed up at her door and I was sitting on the couch, I told her to go sort him out or I will, he soon got the hint she was with me now and wasn't seen again.
My dad was so happy about us together as Debra use to pick her dad up from the pub and always gave my dad a lift home, my dad treated her like the daughter he never had and her driving silks/duties came with her for me and my mates to be picked up from the pub or drive us all home from any paties we went to, she wasn't a drinker.
After 6 months together and in bed one night I just said to her "well we might as well get married" she couldn't believe it and with in 2 weeks she moved in with my dad and myself, I even built a new kitchen for her before she moved in, she had a hand in wreaking the old worn out kitchen and my dad had run away for 8 months to my cousin cattle station up on Cape Yorke, he was so happy when we phoned him the news and set the date for when he came home during the wet season up the Cape he come home for 5 months at a time while he was up there.
Yesterday we got a visit from our youngest daughter to tell us she getting married in February next years, one down and one to go lol.
Well when I asked Debra to marry me I laid the law down straight away to her and said "the bikes are number one in my life, I still like my freedom to go away on bike runs and out on the bikes with the mates I grew up with, trips away on the bikes or fishing trips away with the mates" well she knew from day one the bikes were my life and she told me she love seeing me pull up on the Norton when I dropped down at my mate's place, she always gave me a wave when I left Paul's place on the Norton.
After we got together she became a regular passenger on the Norton as well my 81 Triumph Thunderbird, she learned real quick not to move when in the tight twisties, to just hang on and move with the bike she was on.
The old Norton is now solo registered but she still occasionally comes out with me on the Triumph Thruxton when I allow her and too this day I still have my freedom to go away at short notice for a week or two with the mates or myself, it also gives her a break from me as well, yes we have had our problems and tragedies in our 33 years of marriage, but we are still together, we have had our arguments and make up sex and she reads me like a book she knows when I get down being trapped at home, she just tells me to get on the bike and go, she is good like that and in a way my married mates get a bit jealous as they don't get away with things as I do with my wife, some just don't have the freedom I seem to have.
Its 8am here and the wife is still in bed, when she gets up I make her a light breakfast and we are going out for the day on the bike and have a meal in some quiet place somewhere, she deserves it she been good for me but sometimes I can be a bit hard on her, but she has stuck by me, so maybe next year I will get paroled lol.
