Storyline

Rob comes home uncharacteristically lackadaisical, talking about the joys of freedom. Laura soon finds out that Rob's talk about freedom relates to the fact that he just bought a motorcycle, just a small Geronimo. Laura doesn't like the idea of a motorcycle - large or small - which she thinks is unsafe since she knew a boy in high school who got into a serious motorcycle accident. She also knows that Rob is a klutz. As such, Rob reluctantly agrees to give it up. Turning that talk into action is a little more difficult for Rob, which results in a further argument between husband and wife on whether Rob should be able to keep the motorcycle. The argument results in Rob going off to ride his motorcycle. Rob gets into a different kind of incident on his ride. Written by Huggo
