Default Need some help here

Ok, so I found this great deal on "another" evo that I've always liked. Out of the couple hundred reasons I gave my wife for needing to buy it, she still thinks I've lost it and says no way. Thought someone might have a line I can try on her that worked for them? Man, I just gots to get it. What's making it a little difficult is it's exactly what I have now, just a couple years newer and different color....no laughing, I'm dead serious about this.

I think you're screwed mate, you got yourself into a position where you need your woman's permission to buy a Harley.....you'll just have to live with that

Being the sole breadwinner in our household I can have as many Harleys as I want....If I think she might get twitchy I upgrade her sewing machine before buying the bike

You could divorce her, but she'd take all your money and, not only you couldn't buy this new one, you'd lose the one you've got too.

It is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission!!!!!!!!!

buy her a pair of shoes to match the color of the new bike and tell her how good she'll look in those shoes on the back of that bike.

Do you plan on keeping both bikes?

Tell her she can have your old one.

Put the second one in a storage unit and only bring one home at a time. Tell you have removeable wrap for the color change.

Tell her it such a good deal you have to buy it now, but you promise to sell the other one to pay for it. Put the other one for sale for a price you would be happy with. If it doesn't sell you have both bike and just blame it on the time of year (didn't see where you're from, but in PA selling time is ending). If it sells, you made good money. I got all my bikes that way, well almost my Ultra Classic was because the tour pak was safer for my 9 year old daughter than the backrest on my RoadStar. Good luck!
