A man always needs his own money. Get a secret checking account stash funds. (learned my lesson keep all records away from home) Buy chrome they will never know. Thats how im gonna get my stroker kit. ( she cant see it she wont know)
Then when she finds it (somehow, women just have that kind of knack), and starts accusing you of cheating on her, using that money to support your mistress (not just the bike), that 'secret' stash will be used to find a lousy one bedroom apartment because you lost the house, bike, car, and kids.

Not worth it to me to try to hide stuff. Plus if you think it's ok to hide stuff, she probably thinks it's ok too (like the studly pool boy that comes over daily to 'clean' the pool!)

I have a stash, and she never really knows how much is in it, but then I don't keep it secret. She just either looks and doesnt' say anything, or doesn't look. Not one fight about the stuff I buy (be it that new AR-15, or the parts to upgrade my bike)!

Man, I wanna trade my Sportster with a Street Bob without telling, do you think my wife will notice it?

I would say that I only changed the handlebars and maybe the tank.

Here's one:

I bought my first Harley (2001 1200 Custom Sportster) and let the dealer keep it for 3 weeks in the stockroom before she found out - - -I guess I was waiting for one of two things to happen:

1/ she would just out of the blue say- honey, we have lots of money, just go buy a Harley

2/ The bill would arrive in the mail


Well, as it turns out, we were going for awalk one eve, and as always, a nice Harley went by and I was drooling (as usual) -- she looked at me and said what color would you get? - - -I had to tell her then -- that I already knew the color - - - luckily, we were in public and about two mile walk to the house - - by the time we got home, she was cool enough to say: What are you waiting for? Go get it!


Yes -- been there, done that with the chrome thing too...always in the doghouse - -

I learned from that one - --so When I traded in the Sporty, I at least told her about it, at 8pm the night before! (old motto- never go to bed mad)

Just tell her she put on some weight and you needed a bike with more power. (Then watch the sparks fly)

I can't imagine why I would need to ask, let alone discuss the spending of my money on my bike. The bills are always paid around here. If a purchase comes up before hand in discussion , fine. If it doesn't, no reason for any fall out, like I said my money on my bike. I don't follow her around to see how much she spends on her ****.

Well, I've got my third bike in two years and she loves it! Loves it when I get some add on for the bike. We ride together a lot! What a gal! Been married almost 30 years and have had at least 40 new vehicles ...she just says, if you want it, just get it. Not sharing her!

No problems here.
Divorce her,
Spend her alimony on H-D bling,
Send her a picture of your bike each month.
