So here's my story and every word is true.

The wife was riding a Nightster and decided she was ready foor a bigger bike. Iwas riding a Heritage at the time. I'd had my eye on a Deluxe as the next ride for me. Charcoal and White was what I had in mind.

We stroll into the dealership and see nothing that catches her eye. I spot a Street Glide and say this might be next when I'm ready tp roll out of mine. The sales gal hears me, hits me with a great price and an unreal deal for the trtade in. The Mrs. says "you'd be a fool not to take that deal". Needless to sayI'm the proud owne of an "07 SG w/ 6K miles and ahe ended up with the Deluxe I thought I wanted

Tell her you are glad she didn't get it, she would look way too sexy on it and you'd be jealous when she rides it....

Your wife is way ahead of you. Don't try that stunt in a jewelry store.

When you love your bike or your spouse, why would you want a different one?

Don't even think about "azz", "booty", "rump", "butt", or any other female trigger word in that type of context. Just don't do it. Trust me.

My wife has a Deluxe, loves it and will let me ride it but not modify it in any way whatsoever. She loves that thing.

It actually makes her azz look smaller.
