Your numbers are WAY above mine (2 marriages 1 divorce; do you count woman
you lived with for extended periods?) -- what are your conclusions??  :-)
I've had a 78 Westy and now have an 84 -- I can't complain about my wife's
committment to our 84 Westy -- if I say we need parts/accessories or
whatever -- she says "just do it"

Cheers,
Doug
