BUT HOW WILL THEY CONSUMMATE IT?

Thanks to an East Coast newspaper and a reader in Titusville, Fla., we have the story of a motorcyclist who says that he's going to marry his bike.

Really.

Fed up after two divorces and a bitter split with his girlfriend of four years, the man, who lives near Miami, decided to give up on women. “I realized I was looking too hard to find happiness with someone else,” he said.

So? “Give me a motorcycle,” he, uh, reasoned.

Sometime this spring, after he has finished rebuilding the engine, he plans to dress up the bike in a veil, take it before a notary public and do right by it. He’ll wear a black tux emblazoned with the manufacturer's logo on the back. A tattooist, who already has begun to decorate the groom, will be best man.

The bride is a 1949 Harley-Davidson. silver-plated “with gold lug nuts.” Her name is Moonlady.

“I'm serious about this,” said the betrothed.

We have no word about where the couple will honeymoon.
