about me getting a different bike... its really no big deal. she wanted to ride with me, and i wanna take her. yea, i liked the f4i, but i wanted something more comfortable. i didnt have to sell it. i didnt give up riding. im just riding a different kind of bike. no biggie. i like the bike. i dont know if the major blowup is over. we havent argued since. we talked some things over. im gonna keep looking for warning signs. hopefully things will be ok now.
