Just bought a Lowrider to keep my wife happy. She was very disturbed when I, in February, bought a Triumph Rocket III instead of a Harley. She wanted to clothes, the immediate acceptance of others and the rumble and I gave her none of them.

After I test drove the Lowrider, I will likely sell the Triumph for a Harley. The Rocket III is incredibly fast in a straight line, but the roads I love to ride are rarely straight!

Last year I took my wife to the dealer to buy her an 883. She ain't the type to ride as a passenger on anyone's bike, and I love that about her.

But when she saw the Heritage in the showroom she said, "That's my bike." Could have bought two Sportsters for that! Well, she rides the hell out of that thing and looks mighty fine doing it.

Gotta keep the wife happy

I was going to wait 'till next winter to get rid of the stock sound, but I gotta keep her happy!

Neah, I wouldn't ....... "wait until next winter to get rid of the stock sound ...... " Especially when we're still in winter more or less.

If I were you, now she's given you permission to go out and spend your hard earned money on a new set of pipes.......

......... I'd go out and spend your hard earned money on a new set of pipes.
