She did not want a ring, so I proposed with a motorcycle.


Photo Album of the ProposalWe have been together for over 7 years and vintage mopeds brought us together. As we dated, she got her motorcycle license and grew as a rider and for the last several years we have both been MSF RiderCoaches together. Motorcycles are pretty much all we do. She told me years ago that she wouldn't want a ring for a proposal and I "joked" that I would likely propose to her with a motorcycle.I knew she loved the little Suzuki GN125s we use on the motorcycle training range, but they are very rare out in the wild. A mutual coach friend of ours happened to own one and was selling it, so I secretly bought it while she was out of town and had another riding friend hide it for me. A few weeks later, she and a few other riding friends transported it to a park with a great overlook of the Ohio River. I lured my girlfriend there under the pretense of a "community garage sale" in the park. We arrived and it took a little bit of coaxing for her to walk with me through the park to the overlook, but as soon as she saw the GN she made a beeline for it."Who is riding a GN? I want to hug it! I want to sit on it!" She says. "Well..." I replied dropping to one knee, "You can if you want to!" And presented her with the jewelry box. I took her completely by surprise. In the box was the key, a keychain photo of us captioned "Adventure Awaits" and a note. Some mornings before work I leave her little notes hidden around the house for her to find, so I felt it was a great way to ask for her to marry me.She was very happy. I asked her later what went through her mind when I asked and she replied, "Mainly I thought, 'Finally!'" It was a good day. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/dwrz37/she_did_not_want_a_ring_so_i_proposed_with_a/?utm_source=ifttt
