Default A Permanent Fixture......LOL.....

Well I think I was able to buy some time for the Shovel. I have her believing that the FXR will be the option. So It will only be a matter of time that I will be able to retain ownership of all three bikes........... I'm like happier than "A PIG IN ****"!!!!!..... I'm sure I can sell her.. She loves riding almost as much as I do..... Plus I have way too much into the 77.. SO it's really not a good idea... Wish me time...... Cause I'm sure that's all it's gonna take.... What your secrets?????

Don't know if she truly buys it but I say that they are investments. Every bike that I own has appreciated in value since purchased ( except RG). Advantage of being married for 37 years is as long as finances allow, live and let live.

I keep mine in the loop, makes things easier. Her having the things she wants helps as well and its only fair.

Yes, and the cruise mine wanted for her 60th birthday cost more than the last two bikes I bought combined.

Thank God she's not into cruises...But on the other hand, I spent enough on her going back and forth to Colorado twice in the last 2 months so she could see her new born Grandson... Not sure if that might equal it out but it does help.... LOL.....

I think we're lucky we have multiple bikes and spend untold amounts on them. I shudder at the thought of adding it up! I dont take that for granted.
