I'm back, everyone!!

[delitefulwife]

If you were wondering where I went, my laptop crashed and I lost all my passwords! And of COURSE I couldn't remember any of them anymore... Ronnie bought me a new laptop right away, (this one has racing stripes!) but I still had to reset all my online shopping accounts and it took SO LONG! I kept taking breaks to go down to the aqueducts to ride,

WAIT wait wait wait!!! How did your helmet break?!

[delitefulwife]

Oh, that? Don't worry, Ronnie, I wasn't wearing it.

[sunny_delite]

Oh... S-so what happened, then?

Good to see you back here, fellow bike fan. Good choice in helmets to -- nobody makes them like the Germans. I am guessing you got an Iron Horse? I have been meaning to get a new one for some time now.

As for a name, you should call your bike Eile. It means, well, in a word, speed... And you are a woman who likes to go fast, ja?

[delitefulwife]

I sure do! But Eile, that sounds like it would be hard to say all the time. German is such a harsh language, not like French. In French, speed is 'vitesse'!! Much prettier. It's my maiden name, actually! Eile is nice and short, though, faster to say. How do you say that?

Yep, I bought an Iron Horse, you sure know your stuff! Winebury full face helmet, any other kind isn't worth even looking at!

[droehnendrecht]

Eile is a very simple word. It kind of sounds like "I-lah". I know the language can be quite harsh-sounding to an untrained ear, but eile is a bit more feminine and, I suppose, delicate, than some other words.

Hmmm! Well that one's definitely in the running. It does sound pretty now that you've sounded it out.
