I had my Harley before I met her and told her that if it goes I go. She got my *** by not paying for it and repo man showed up. Dumb *** me, guess I'm too trusting. I just want to kick myself to death.

I have done my budgeting over and over and I have no problem affording it. I have no idea where the money has gone. She also works.

My question is....What happens after the repo man has it. I've call 877-877-7370 and have left a message to see if I can work things out and they have not gotten back with me. I always had the money to pay for it but my wife has never kept me informed on what was paid and what was not.

Anyone have any other experience or suggestions on getting my Harley back?

Thats because there are nice people(not you) on here that are willing to help and give advice to people like the op instead of ridiculing them.

Thanks DGDeuce. Some people look at this as bad advice, but you really don't know how hard it is until this happens to you. It's really hard to trust a wife from here on. No marriage for me in the near future, if ever.

Marriage is a good thing...providing you have respect and love for each other...my first marriage didn't, probably why I felt as she always fought me for 20 years every time I mentioned a Harley.

Now I have a woman who I completely trust and have 2 bikes in the garage. Life is awesome.

First let me say congratulations on coming back from a bad bad bad situation. My ex tried, and is still trying to get my bike from me and we have been divorced for almost 3 years. Children make this infinitely more convoluted. My ex couldn't keep her ****** in her pants, and her hands out of the bank account. She knows that the only thing that comes close to the love for my daughter is the love of motorcycles. She tried desperately to take my daughter away from me, and hasn't given up on my bike. Women are strange creatures. She destroyed the marriage and is still mad at me for catching her. She recently told my 5 year old daughter that I was the reason for everything bad in her life. I'm sure there are good women out there, but they (as a rule) don't make them like they use to. Most women are as sketchy as crackheads. It only takes one shitty woman to change your outlook for a long time. I said I would never get married again, but I married a wonderful woman November of this year.

Again, congrats, there are a lot more of us that have been down similar roads.....
