If a man wants a bike, and his wife says no....and that's it.....end of discussion?

Glad I'm single then. I buy what I want, when I want it.

Are you guys adults or kids? You guys remind me of the way my mom talked to me when I was 15.

sheesh!

Talking it over with the wife is expected....her shutting you down like that (to me) is not.

If you want a new bike, then go trade in the '07 and get it.

Sometimes, you guys are going to have to go over to the drawer and take your ***** back, me thinks.

???? She rides with me, eats with me, drinks with me, sleeps with me, party's with me, vacations with me, brings a nice paycheck home to me,. I thinks she giving the thumbs up to spend over $20k on a TOY is a pretty nice ....
She never shut me down...SHe brought the subject up out of nowhere while we were driving down the road....I never expected this from her mouth and haven't mentioned anything about a new bike....

Seems me riding an Ultra was the wifes idea. I was perfectly happy riding my old Sportster.
Now that I have an Ultra I ride much longer distances than I would have ever gone an a sporty. Vacation in the mountains, visits to Tn, etc.

It's great having a wife make suggestions like that. I'm on my third Ultra now and got another Sportster to play around on.

Good luck w/your decision - that's a hard one. Run the #'s & if you're happy...that's all that matters. For these deals - you only have to listen to yourself.

I was riding a 05 XL883C and loved it...Wife said she would never ride again because of a previous spill we had a few years earlier...she saw how much fun i had and asked to take a ride and then she says you need a bigger bike....It is the only reason i bought a FLHTC...i was gonna buy a Dyna Wide Glide or a Heritage but for 2 up i knew i had to kick it up a notch....4 years and 60000 miles later she loves it, bought her a small bike she got her own liscense and now she only rides on the back of mine....added intercomm CB, music in the headsets, pipes exhaust etc.....Like my bike but i am at the point where it will be considered excssive mileage if i keep it...
