Opinions...
Ok guys, here's the deal. I have a 2015 Harley Street Glide Special that is paid for but I want a new CVO and the wife is not on board with it. She wants me just do the upgrades I want and to do a custom paint job on it. I have already put about $5k in extras in the bike, but I hate the idea of putting more money into it when I know that I will never get it back unless I keep it.
Thoughts or experiences....

One assumes that when you bought the 2015, it was exactly the bike you wanted. Right?
Two years later, it is no longer exactly the bike you want. Now a CVO is exactly the bike you want.
And that's fine. You're free to like and want whatever you desire.
But what makes no sense here is bringing money into the equation.
If you are going to be "buys a new bike every two years because I got tired of the old one" guy, fine, but if you do that, you are also going to be "spends a huge amount of money on bikes" guy. Can't be one without the other.

I don't get the impression he plans that much ahead.
No pre-nup here...it's like riding a bike, can't really do it right unless you put both feet on the pegs and hold on.

Tell her last time you checked, you wear the pants in the family.
Tell her they are changing the roads, and your old bike won't be compatible with them.
I know, probably not the answers you're looking for.
