Unfortunately it was not on the bike. I just bought an engagement ring for my girlfriend. I figured we been together 3 years, lived together for 2. Im 36 and she's 29. Neither of us have kids or have been married; so I guess its time. Those things are EXPENSIVE. I could have bought her a nice Sportster for that money. I brought a jewelery professional with me (my Mom). I picked a center stone then a nice 18k white gold setting with diamonds. I dont know much about diamonds but my Mom made a big deal about the stones being an E and Si 1.
I sure hope this works out.

You can't tell a man how to spend his money or pick his women.
Good luck!

Never been an advocate of expensive jewelry.

Gives the rich something to brag about, while serving no real function.

Alls I can say is that I hope she is the type that appreciates it, rather than expects it.

Good luck with the marriage. It's nice having a soul mate to share life with.

Ha..My EX-girl was pushing for the ring hard. She almost had me. I was at the Jewlery store (with my mom) ready to break. Then I had a realization...we fight ALL the time, she complains whenever I spend some doe on my bike (since she didnt have a ring yet)..She was just a pain in the *** (even though she was smokin)..So i got rid of her and I felt like I just got paroled. Anyway...Best of luck to ya!!
