No china, but some platinum

 

Our 20th wedding anniversary is coming up in few weeks.  The traditional 20th anniversary gift is china.   K doesn't want any more china than she already has, and I can't afford to take her to the real China.  The contemporary 20th anniversary gift is platinum, which is selling today for $1,618.59 CDN per ounce.  And what would she do with a couple of ounces of platinum, anyway?  Behold, the perfect solution!  A motorcycle!  How is that the perfect solution, you ask?  Well, some of the parts are made in China, and some of the parts have platinum in them!  K has decided that it is time to stop being a  "Back Seat Betty" and move up front where the action is, and this is her new ride.  It is a near-new 2010 Kawasaki Ninja 250R.  K will be taking the new rider course in March, in advance of joining our "gang" for the summer riding season.  She's not the only one who is excited!
