Guy Bets Wife: Gets his Triumph!

[The Seeker]

A guy that posts on our Pittsburgh Penguins hockey blog who goes by the nickname "Death By Emu" posted this:

Way back in February, I told the wife I wanted to buy a motorcycle. She said, well, up yours.

I suggested a bet....

If the Pens (and you know where they were in February) won the Stanley Cup, I could get one. Deal.

Well, say hello to my brand spankin' new 2009 Triumph Bonneville. With a Pens logo on the side cover. And yea, I picked the bike color because it matched the Pens colors as close as they make it. Hey, enjoy whats left of the Woo-ness. Training camp on the way soon. Keep up the great work!

Good on him :y115:

Gotta love a happy ending!!! :y115:

What did he have at risk? Usually in a betting situation you win or lose :cash:.

Good on him, sounds like his wife is a good sport.

I'll stand 'Death by Emu' a nice cool Guinness the next time I see him!!

....and to think I was only rooting for my hometown team to win the Stanley Cup. THIS guy had a LOT more riding on the outcome than I did. All I got were "bragging rights".....this guy gets a TRIUMPH!

This is the first time I have noticed the new tanks look too fat.

 

[DaveM]

I think they made it bigger for the fuel pump to sit under it

 

[CarlS]

Dave, you are correct and, Gary, I agree about the tank. However, it looks much better in person.

 

[Dilligaf]

Hell I'll toss a leg over any bike.

 

[CarlS]

I agree, my friend.

 

[DaveM]

Well I could force myself to own one even with the hard seat and all :y114:
