RE: Hiding $$ Spent From the Spouse
There are times when my wife noticesthat the bike looks different but she isn't exactly sure what is is. I tell her that with Harleys, there is a Phenomena know as Metamorphosis that occures every couple of months whereby things just change on the bike. It's kinda like what happens in the gun safe over the winter. You know what I mean..When you close the door somehow the Winchester and Browning end up with a Rugger offspring. It's just the magic of nature and I can't explainhow it happens. Her head spins and she walks away. I think science it great andI am excited to see what will change next!he he he............

I don't bother trying to hide it. She'd figure it out anyhow. She's very good about not giving me a hard time about getting the parts I want. She's even bought a few for me. Besides, with her, nothing goes unnoticed...she'd spot something new on the bike in a heartbeat.

How the hell could I hide anything that I did to my bike...lol She knows how much I have into it and doesn't say too much because she realizes what I've sacrificed and risked to pay for it.

RE: Hiding $$ Spent From the Spouse
was able to keep my Cobra Dragsters and C&C seat from her... not that she'd know how much they cost, but didn't want to her asking..... easier to hide than lie, you know
...wait....is 'hiding' actually 'lying'...???

RE: Hiding $$ Spent From the Spouse
Sorry I can't add anything; I don't have that problem...
My wife has four older brothers. To her, motorcycles are a normal part of any household.
Pretty much anything goes. Good thing I'm a cheapskate.

I just buy what I want when I want. I have her look at the parts when they are on but she never questions the price. As long as the bills are paid she doesen't even question it. lol
