Mentioned to the wife today that I'm interested in buying a second bike. Her response was "You have to get rid of your other bike (X1) first", BAAA...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! She's so cute when she's clueless! |

Keep working on it... mine keeps scratching her head and asking "Why did we buy another bike?". I drag her to the garage occasionally and show her how the work is moving along on my M2 projects. I'm getting a low seat and she will hopefully pilot the XB some day. |

Fortunately my wife is as gaga as I am about motorcycles so I don't have this issue. However, if I were to field a question such as, "Why do you need more that one motorcycle?" I would respond, "Why do you need more than one pair of shoes?" |

Yeah if I used the same thought process that my wife has with kitchen utensils I would have 3 or 4 bike in the garage. Now why did we buy 2 mixers & 3 whisks? Oh yeah, when one is dirty get another one. |

I was kind of surprised yesterday because my wife had called and said her car wouldn't start and needed to get to work. Since they had forecast snow I drove the 2nd car. Later that night I mentioned that if she had a bike license she could have ridden to work. She actually admitted that crossed her mind....Now if she ever follows up on that. It would sure make it easier to talk about bike replacements if she was part of the program. |

It's easier to ask for forgiveness after than permission before... YMMV, Nels |

This reminds me of an episode of Coach. He wanted to buy a bike and was discussing it with his wife. I could have sworn that they had a camera in my house because her words were the exact same that came out of my wife's mouth: Coach "I want to buy a motorcycle" Christine "Those are really expensive, what are they, $3,000?" Christine "You'd never buy one without asking me first, would you?" At least I didn't have to hide mine in the shed afterwards. |

I am "allowed" to have a bike. Actually, I'm allowed to have any vehicle I can afford... But, my advice to anyone who has a bike - always get a new one before you get rid of the old one (or trade in), lest you have justify having one. |
