We'll keep it stock!

In 2002 I was at the cheer gym waiting to pick up my daughter.  I was standing with a group of women talking and one of our friends came up and asked us if we would like to buy a raffle ticket supporting CHOC and that they were five dollars.  The group quickly dispersed and I was left with my friend who was selling the tickets.  I bought one raffle ticket because all I had on me at the time was $5.00.  I quickly forgot all about it.  A couple of months later, I received a phone call telling me I had won a Harley Davidson.  My handsome husband was EXCITED!!!! At first he felt guilty receiving such a great gift and said we should sell it.  I said no, keep it.  Then he said he would keep it through the summer and then sell it.  I said no, keep it.  Then he said he would keep it stock!  Hah!  Famous last words!!!!  Seven years later (he just picked it up this weekend) the bike looks like this:


He is so happy!  He just picked it up from being painted and some other things (at a certain point my eyes glaze over and I start to zone out from all the chroming that is going on.  According to the handsome husband everything that could  be chromed has been chromed).  The handsome husband actually uttered these words this weekend, "It is all done".  We'll see!
