Whew - I lost my mind years ago but I could never make a trade like that - Hell of a second bike but unless you are good enough to do all the work on it I wouldn't even consider it - What would it sell for?
I am in agreement here. It would make one hell of a second bike.

Tell her you decided to keep your current bike and add more chrome and performance items to it.
She won't say a word.

I wish I could afford both, but it would have to be one or the other. Thanks again for all of your replies.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, unless it is with numerous margaritas

One thing your missing if you keep your current ride. Let your wife know that it was her input and reason that lead to the decision to keep it and thank her for her help. Giving your wife credit for a decision you make gives you one more time you can ignore her input and then say "but I do listen to you, remember when I kept my bike?"
