You have a good woman...&nbsp\\; Nice ride. Don't forget to keep your Honda cover, cause if you cover your Harley with that cover it won't get stolen... LOL&nbsp\\;

My wife taught me that.&nbsp\\; When we go to the 105th, we are taking a Honda cover for our UC.

Amen!!!
&nbsp\\;
I recently I told my wife I was thinking of getting rid of my Fat Boy someday so I could get a bagger to take the boys for a ride. She looks at me and says "today sounds like a good day to do that". I was like what??
&nbsp\\;
Long story short, went to test ride a bagger and a guy apporached me about my Fat Boy, next day the Fat Boy is sold, cash in hand and four hours later I'm cruising down the road on a new Road King.

A good woman is hard to find. My wife picked out our 07 RoadKingCustom Black&amp\\;Chrome. I did love that old LowRider though.

Wife's friend was looking to upgrade from a Sporty to something larger. She is not the bagger type, but the 3 of us decided to hit a dealer. I was riding a Yamaha V-star 1100 at the time and had a 2003 Chromed out Sporty in the Garage. (Was my First Harley) and honestly I was more interested in it being jeweled with Chrome then riding it. The Yamaha was ok for us 2 up but I wanted more room and power.
&nbsp\\;
Wifes friend was looking at the 2006 Softail Duece while I was looking at this fantastic 2006 Road King, that was calling my name. I with one salesman and our friend with another. My wife stands in the middle of the dealership and says quite loudly I might add. "Excuse me but there is a good chance 2 bikes are moving from your showroom floor today" "Lets stop messing around here and tell me what your going to do about this" We both rode away that week with 2 new bikes and almost 2K off the asking price of both bikes. I Love This woman!!!!!!!!!!
