Default She said she wouldn't believe me....

until she rode her home.
Wife's 40th Birthday present.I'm guessing she'll get a membership here.
First pic is before the test ride Thurs,the second is after (how could I say no to that smile)
I went back Friday to finalize all the paper work without her knowing,then told her that night.(she didn't get much sleep Fri night )
Third pic is ride home day Saturday.

Thanks folks.
She has been riding her own for two years,but this was all a lead up to the Harley,
She put almost 10k on an '85 V30 Magna and was ready to move up.She rides better than some guys I know.
Here's a pic of "Piglet" which now sits forlorn in the corner of the garage waiting for a new master.
LOL the wife says the Honda was like a reliable friend and the Harley is like picking up a bad boy at the bar and taking him home just for a wild f***.

The honda looks very clean. You should have no trouble selling it. I wanted to buy my wife something like that to start out on. She has her mind set on a Harley though.
