So far, asking for forgiveness rather than asking for permission has worked for me. Although, I think she's catching on to me.

Seems like there's a couple of posts like this every week, may be true what the old timers say about the "new breed" of rider...

She won't divorce me but she won't be thrilled. But honestly she won't be surprised either.

Thing is I just got a bonus and a big raise. I'm finding it hard not to buy things. I wanted to get some things on the bike before the season is over. Then while it's cold out I'll just be making extra payments on things. Yawn.

My wife had resided herself to the fact that she can't control me anymore so she just smiles and says "thats nice"
Parts are usually not the problem. It's going to be the 6th Harley that may be the issue!

My wifes the same, I keep building and modifying and when it's all done I get bored with it sell it and start over with a new one. I'll buy some chrome trinkets for hers and it's all good.
