Ohmystinkinheck

When you put up with me for 13 years, you get one of these…

This is one beautiful bike. Much different from the Yamaha he had when we met; the one that spit oil all over the bottom of his pant’s leg. Yea, that wasn’t so nice.

But this bike…it is very, very nice.

Wait a minute. What does that say?

Made in America? Oh wait, no…

Ahhhh…HARLEY DAVIDSON.
I can’t believe it either.

He’ll never be able to sneak up on me again. Unlike his Honda Civic, this thing makes its presence known when it turns into the driveway. Who am I kidding? I heard the man a quarter mile away.

It’s ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL HIS.

Yep, even this part.

Oh wait, this part is mine. Meet my sissy seat.

BEHOLD the KICKSTAND

On this very day a 19 year old dream became tangible.

Hang on, I was slightly distracted by my 19 year old dream; it too is quite tangible.

Hey! Quit lookin’ at my husband’s tangibles!

He was somewhat occupied.

For a while.

For a long while.

As in, his last ride was somewhere around midnight.

No worries, he took me to dinner and a movie first.

   If you ask my kids why their daddy doesn’t have a motorcycle, they will answer “Because mommy won’t let him!”

2. bethany actually

   Hey, you’re the one who put the photo of your husband’s tangibles right there for us to see! I was just scrolling down all innocent-like! I never heard them called “tangibles” before. Is that Texas slang for Wranglers?

3. Caution

   When our 4th child was born, my guy got the ultimatum: Up the life insurance considerably or sell the bike. It must have hurt, but selling was cheaper. Ouch!

4. t.bird

   NICE! Mr. Bird’s dream is a brand new International Farmall. It doesn’t even have to have air conditioning.

   :)

5. Tempered Woman

   Too funny~ my hubby just got a Harley too. Has been a long dream and he finally traded in the Yamaha. I tease him mercilessly tho cause his other vehicle is a Honda Fit! I tell him he needs one of those bumper stickers that says my other car is a Harley, so people won’t question his manliehood (or tangibles I guess!) I hope your hubby appreciates all those great pictures of his new baby.

6. Mom (Paulette)(Gram)

   Yeah, I love it! Does this mean you’ll be a “Harley Mama”??

7. Linda

   Mr. OMSH got a brand spanking new Harley … What does Mrs. OMSH get? What’s her 19 year old dream?

   Congrats to Hubby on the Harley!!

8. Steph

   Woooooooo. Nice bike. I’m a little jealous, but just a little. And I was NOT looking at his tangibles, thank you very much. Okay, maybe I was a little. But still.

9. ashpags

   Yay! Happy Anniversary! =)

10. Karen Sugarpants

    Ooooohhh shiny! I love it. My Aunt and Uncle ride and boy oh boy is it cool.

11. Maren

    Yeah, we can hear my husband’s bike coming from a mile away…literally. The dog hears him turn from the main road and runs to the edge of the driveway to wait for him.

12. mothergoosemouse

    What Sarah N. said. But I still admire the beauty of Harley Davidson bikes - they are spectacular.

13. Nancy

    Congrats to Mr. OMSH … does this make you his Biker Biotch? *wink*

    And next? Chaps perhaps?

14. Angella

    Congrats, Jeff!

    I sold my little Ninja crotch rocket to pay for my wedding. I dream of riding again…

    That is one PURTY bike!

15. Shannon

    OH girlfriend YOU ROCK! I got tears and all reading that!! Your are just the sweatest thing. So, when we are all here 13 years later do we all get hogs too?
    Can I go off topic for a moment and say…….. ” I’m not worthy I am scum” Yeah I was up till 2 am trying to creat a new website. I am sneaking away from the warden right now to read this. SHHHHH! Girl you got some mad skills and you be representing in your field! I on the other hand have uber stupid skills and only Mr. Rogers want me representing his hood. Sad I know!

16. Elizabeth

    you are dirty OMSH, but you sure are funny! congrats to mr.omsh on his new ride!

17. Shannon

    PS~ Mr. OMSH…… you are just moving up in the world…… coffee, french press, hog….. what next?

18. chocolatechic

    Sw~eeeeet!!!

    The bike that is. I closed my eyes on the tangibles.

19. Atomic Bombshell

    That’s awesome. I’m so happy for you guys. Looks like FUN!

20. KYouell

    I almost posted a congrats on the last post (even tongue-out could you be more photogenic?), then I remembered the little thumbnails Flickr emailed to me & I had to come see. Headline: Beautiful Woman Gives Beautiful Bike to Hubby. Says She Loves His Tangibles. Fans Love Them Both!

21. BOSSY

    Bossy has never owned anything that new and shiny in her life.

22. witchypoo

    I didn’t see any tanglibles, but did you know that Mr. OMSH’s bum is in a picture?

23. Melissa

    Congrats Mr. OMSH!

    I totally snorted coffee out my nose, that last joke kinda caught me off guard! :-)

    Is he gonna get a sticker for his helmet, “loud pipes save lives”? :-)

24. Marcie

    Ohmygoodness.

    SPOILED. Hehehe.

    Congrats!

    P.S. font size=-1>That bike is badass…

25. Marcie

    Ohmygoodness.

    SPOILED. Hehehe.

    Congrats!

    P.S. That bike is badass…

26. Marcie

    Wow. Twice. And once with an html error. *Cackle*

    I guess that just means I’m extra happy for you! Or…extra excited about that cherry red, shiny chrome, rumbling, macho piece of machinery you gave your man. ;)

27. Shawna

    Congrats to Mr. OMSH! Gotta love the man and his Harley!

    I don’t mean anything creepy by that. I mean, I don’t love Mr. OMSH specifically. Not that he’s NOT loveable, I just . .well .. .I don’t KNOW him to love him.

    YOU’RE the one who started this!

28. Solomon Broad

    That bike probably has more BHP than my car. Sigh.

29. Neil

    That is so cool. I’m expecting a few new tattoos on your soon for when you hang out at the biker bar with your hunky guy.

30. Domestic Chicky

    Wowee…that is one sweet…bike, one sweet bike, yeah. ;)
    Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs OMSH

31. Mrs. Wilson

    NICE!!!!! That is one stellar bike.

32. OMSH

    Sarah N. - I’m laughing, but oh my goodness, that’s awful!

    Bethany - Nah, not Texas slang…it is my way of keeping my g-rating while getting my point across.

    Tangibles = something physical you can touch or get your hands on

    Caution - Yes, we’ve heard much of that repeated to us in the last few weeks as he’s started actually making moves to buy the dream bike.

    t.bird - No air conditioning? Well, apparently you don’t live in this part of TEXAS. heh heh

    Tempered Woman - I believe we might be married to the same man. Jeff drives a Honda Civic (traded in his truck when the gas bill went through the roof). He likes it, but I think it is sort of a demasculator. Is that a word? Spell check says no. :)

    Jeff had a Yamaha when we met. Old, beat-up, but 2 wheels and he didn’t have to peddle to make it go (on most days)

    Mom(Paulette)(Gram) - Um? Nah. Not yet, at least. Maybe when the kids are grown. One of us has to be around to raise them y’know. heh heh

    Linda - My 19 year old dream is to be married to a man I can’t live without. Mine is pretty much made in the shade.

    Steph - Well, okay…you can look, but if we ever meet you’ll have to refrain from touching. heh heh

    ashpags - Thanks!

    Karen Sugarpants - Yes, VERY shiny. And in the garage - so hopefully it’ll stay that way awhile.

    Maren - I’m hoping our dogs settle down with it a big. They made quite a racket when he pulled into the garage last night.

    mothergoosemouse - I agree. We went to the bike shop last night to pick up his car and just walking into a bike full of ‘em takes your breath away for a second.

    Nancy - I was considering framing out his tangibles with some chaps. Maybe for a long trip. Gives me birthday ideas. :)

    And no, he says I’m his old lady. :)

    Angella - GET A REAL BIKE. Crotch rocket? Nooooooooo! Around here a bunch of the college students race those and weave in and out of cars. They make me cringe. eeek!

    Shannon - Heck no I can’t get everyone a Harley. Dude…SAVE! hahaha

    And about the website stuff. If you saw my first site you’d roll over laughing. So, don’t sweat it - it’ll come!

    Elizabeth - Dirty? Moi?

    chocolatechic - Bwahahaha!

    Atomic Bombshell - I’m really happy for him. I like bikes, I really do, but he is bursting at the seams. He called at lunch to ask how his bike was (joking - er … kind of)

    KYouell - Hey, I like those headlines! heh heh Wanna write for me?

    BOSSY - No? Aluminum foil?

    witchypoo - EXACTLY! hahaha

    Melissa - Bwahahaha! That is HYSTERICAL. I don’t know…I imagine if that depends on if I find one. Although, he tends to put stickers on his guitar case and not his helmets. :)

    Marcie - Typos can be deleted, but yours made me snicker, so I’m keeping it!

    Shawna - I do that to myself all the time. Dig out…there is still time!

    Solomon Broad - I’m hoping you meant Brake Horse Power, because the other definitions of BHP (we women sometimes have to look that up) in the urban dictionary are not favorable. heh heh

    Neil - No biker bars. We went to Olive Garden (YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT) and had Chicken Scampi. And…um…I’m not commenting on the tattoos, because I’ve already planned my next one and Jeff told me where he wants me to put it.

    Domestic Chicky - Thanks! :)

33. OMSH

    Can you tell I was eating lunch?
    That (up there) took THIRTY MINUTES you guys!
    bwahahaha!

34. Solomon Broad

    Uh, yeah, brake horse power. I had no idea there was another meaning. :blush:!

35. FireMom

    My Husband won’t be reading this post. Nope.

36. KYouell

    OMSH, your comment back to Solomon Broad sent me to the Urban Dictionary. And then his comment made me LAUGH!

    And, yeah, I would totally write for you. :-D

37. Dad

    Mrs. OMSH, I’ve put up with you for 35 years, what do I get? Yeah, just another sad story … my kids have been married 13 years and all I get … WAIT, 3 wonderful grandchildren!!!!! Good deal! I’m over it. Congrats Mr. OMSH!

38. OMSH

    Solomon - I assumed to the good, of course. How could I not with the man who counts his blessings?

    Firemom - heh heh

    KYouell - I’ll be contacting you when I need some raving headlines then!

    Dad - HEY! I gave you the gift of knowing you have a daughter completely in love with her husband. Isn’t that what you prayed for all those years?

39. familymclean

    Wow! i hoep I get one after 13 years, a hog has been a dream of mind since I went for my first ride at 17 yrs old, sigh, someday.

    Mr. OMSH that is one sweet ride!!

40. Claire in CA

    Just like Pioneer Woman (and I) love to see a man on a horse, I love to see my man on a Harley. He has a 1950 Panhead. It’s oh so beautiful. And he looks oh so masculine and sexy sitting on it. Ahhhh…

    I love that rumble. I’m convinced that Harley riders are safer than other kinds of motorcyclists, simply because they don’t sneak up on you in traffic. :-) Or maybe I’m just in denial, since every time he rides away on that thing, I say a prayer.

41. Just Beachy

    OH My Goodness, that is Beautiful!! The Bike’s not bad either..ha. Kiddin’ Sorta. Seriously… I know he has to be beyond excited.

42. OMSH

    familymclean - I can’t tell you when my first ride was - I couldn’t tell my parents either. Haha! My cousin took me and I’m pretty sure I would have had a whoopin’ if they’d known.

    Claire in CA - I’m gonna have to agree with the sexy part. Hey, and you are RIGHT about the sound. No riding up blind - unless, of course they have their radio blaring or ipod, or… yea, I’ll probably be praying a lot too!

    Just Beachy - I’m with ya…they are BOTH beautiful. :) smerk

43. She Likes Purple

    Even though my husband’s bike is Italian (Ducati) we know it’s him when he’s a few blocks away. I say we because our dog absolutely can tell the difference between her dad’s bike and other bikes.

    Happy riding to you both. (I NEED A COMFY SEAT!)

44. Nancy

    Happy Anniversary! Phil and I will have 10 years on the 17th and I can promise you he will not see anything like this in his driveway. The closed he will see to a motorcycle is the pink electric moped Kylee got for Christmas. Not quite the same. Just imagine Phil sitting on a pink moped with “Daisy” painted on the side. Just gets me all hot and bothered. (ha ha ha) He was completely jealous when I showed him the pictures. Again congratulations on 13 years and here’s to countless more.

45. mamalang

    You should stop by…I linked to you!

46. bethany actually

    Oh man…I am laughing because I clearly cannot type a joke! I actually do know the definition of the word “tangibles”, and I knew you were using a more genteel word for Mr. OMSH’s hiney. I was just trying to be funny. I guess I should have employed a judicious wink smiley at the end of my last comment. ;-)

47. karen

    Hooray for dinner and a movie and all…but I hope you got a share of those fine tangibles, too!

48. Capturing Today

    Ohhh - that is such a nice bike! I’m sure he is thrilled! I too, once long ago, had my own Yamaha . . . one of these days when little girls are older and mom can afford to be a little more risky again - another bike is in the future! Enjoy it!!

49. Mr. OMSH

    **IMPORTANT NOTICE**

    *ALL COMMENTERS PLEASE READ*

    I feel like such a piece of meat. “Tangibles”–really? Is that all I am to you all? I lift up and support OMSH, partly so that she can provide valuable and entertaining photographs [OF MY NEW BIKE HA HA] and commentaries [ABOUT MY NEW BIKE HA HA].
    So before you laugh coffee through your nose (and we know who you are), demean me and belittle my gluteus MAXIMUS (or however you spell it), or before you click the ‘SUBMIT COMMENT’ button, think about others’ needs and the impact you have on them…I’m sorry…getting too emotional to continue. I might find the resolve in the near future to finish this comment [UNTIL THEN I'LL BE RIDING MY NEW BIKE HA HA].

50. Mr. OMSH

    Ok, back to reality.

    The bike is AWESOME…but it can’t compete with OMSH. She is way more awesome. She’s the love of my life. Period.

    OMSH–The Lord has gone above and beyond blessing us…with all the divorce, the hate that surrounds our nation, the Democrats, and violence, we live in true peace and joy. I know I could not make it without you. I love you. Now I AM too emotional to complete this post!

51. Steph

    I lift up and support OMSH

    Mr. OMSH — So in addition to having show-off-able tangibles, you do sidework as a bra? That OMSH is one lucky chica.

52. bethany actually

    Mr. OMSH…you do sidework as a bra?

    Oh, man Steph! Talk about laughing my coffee through my nose. Whew! Good morning, all!

53. OMSH

    She Likes Purple - I am anxious for our dogs to learn it…they are just barking right now. They do the same thing to the UPS truck - no way anyone can sneak up on my house.

    Nancy HOW IS YOUR MOM? Oh, and I have a hysterical visual of Phil on a pink moped now! Bwahahahaha!

    mamalang - Did I already? I’m gonna go check. I swear I’m sick as a dog and can’t remember even where I put my stinkin’ socks last night!

    bethany actually - judicious winks are perfect, but I can’t wait to hear your ACTUAL VOICE coming out of your ACTUAL FACE! heh heh

    karen - tangibles were in hand, thanyouverymuch!

    Capturing Today - Jeff has high hopes that I too will fall into bike lust, but I’ve got a hankering for large monitors, more GB and lots, lots more FONTS first. I’m a geek - he’s the bad boy! HA!

    Mr. OMSH - I cannot believe you just associated Democrats with divorce and hate. Will you never learn that every thought that goes through your head shouldn’t be written down? Geez.

    And? I do hope that my bloggers know that you are JOKING.

    On the other hand, you have an amazing ability to make me feel all warm and cozy and, at the same time, roll my eyes.

    Steph - Hey, before my reduction, he did a lot of holding up. Bwahahaha!

    bethany actually - I’ve never laughed coffee out my nose. Spurted it out my mouth, yes, but never laughed it out my nose.

    hahahaha

54. bethany actually

    Me neither, actually. This morning I am drinking tea. :-) Feel better!!!

55. nancypants

    Wow! He’s Mr. Oh my lucky stinkin’ heck! Beautiful bike!! Lucky dawg! My husband is allowed one when he has a terminal illness of some sort (he’s also allowed to smoke cigars then.) ;^P

56. Patty

    Wow your hubby is one lucky guy! Please don’t share this bit of news with my dh…

57. Krissy

    Oh the thrill of the wind whipping through your hair wild on a bike. My hubby and I ride too. We love it but if you have longer hair, tie it up as it is pure hell to get it detangled.

    Nice blog, I’ll surely make a reappearance! Hope you can visit me too!
