Would you do this?? From my wife to me!!

[Cohiba]

Hey All,

My wife and I will be making the first(of three) of our annual trek to Las Vegs in a few weeks.

This time, she kicked it up a notch. She made a proposition that I don't think I can fulfill. I would LOVE to, but don't think I can do it.

The Deal: If I can and will ride the X-Scream and the Insanity ride on the Stratosphere. Her part of the bargin will be to buy me a Sportster Harley.

**Disclaimer** Ol' Cohiba doesn't have any fears nor phobias except one....Acrophobia. Yep, the fear of heights!! I detest airplanes and anything outdoors over a height of 5 stories high. Don't know why, just do.

Airplanes.... I have to have my liquid courage(vodka) before I get on that crazy thing!! Yes, I understand Bernoulli's Principle, thrust, lift, drag, gravity,...blah, blah.

Its just something in the back of my mind...if we have engine problems....we can't pull over and call a tow truck. Nope.... we fall all the way to the scene of the crash!!

Sooooooo, knowing this about Cohiba and how he hates heights and flying, would you ride these two rides for a new Harley Sportster??

My wife has ridden these several times and on the X-Scream...she wants the front seat. Me.....this ride makes my Go-Go's tingle!!!

The Insanity ride....my wife gets bored on this one and wants to ride the X-Scream again!!! WTF... is wrong with her!!??

So....would you man-up and ride these for a new 2011 Sportster?? Or, stay safe on the sidelines and wave as your wife waves back as she rides the crazy things??

The X-Scream...866 feet above the Las Vegas Strip...the one my wife rides in the front seat...she would stand-up on this if they would let her!!!! This is the one that makes my Go-Go's tingle!!!!

The Insanity ride...only 900 feet above the Las Vegas Strip...this one makes me weak in the knees and my heart skip a beat!!

Play the odds. . .since you *are* gonna be in Vegas. You ever heard of anybody dying on one of those rides? :-)

Get you a couple of Xanax(don't tell her) and I promise you won't mind the ride.Remember......better living through chemistry.BTW,make her buy a 1200.

Won't mind ... hell if he takes two of those he won't even remember it!! LOL

Cohiba, you really need to do it!! (Be sure and go to the bathroom before you have a seat though!)

And pics ... you better get pics!!

I am like cohiba, I don't like heights like tall buildings ( I can do airplanes o,k,) For a Harley I would give it a try though. My ex-wife got me on the big wooden roller coaster at 6-Flags in Dallas and I made it out alive and intact. If you do it Get the Harley and ALL the accessories you can because you will have earned them! GOOD LUCK on the rides and at the casino's!!!!

Love that its ok to pump your body full of man made drugs we have no idea the effects dont you?

Yes ride the dang coasters!

I've never taken Xanax, but I would hope they are compatible with mucho alcohol. I've done airplanes so much they don't bother me, but I have a lifelong terror of heights. I've been to Vegas twice and just watching the roller coaster wind around the top of that hotel scares the living pi$$ out of me! A Harley would be nice, but I dunno...
