Oh how I hope I can talk the bosslady into this!!!
« on: May 09, 2013, 05:14:54 PM »
Work with a much younger fella than me, he has a 2008 R6 that he bought new, rarely to never rides and is pretty intimidated by it. I told him to hold on to it for a bit longer and make me a smoking deal, cause I WANT IT!!!! Of course I have genuinley offered to store it in my garage for him until that time comes.




Drool!!!!!

Do the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, windows, mopping for a month. That should seal the deal with her.  :thumbs:

We kinda have that already, at least every 2 weeks. I would never get to live this down, she needs to understand that I need a bike for every riding mood that I am in. House will be paid for at the beginning of 2015, not sure he is willing to hang on to it for that much longer. I need a good plan to get this much earlier, man would I hate to lose out on getting this.

I just don't understand you having to ask your wife to buy a motorcycle that you want.  It doesn't make sense.


I have to beg mine. ;)

you poor guys.  My wife and I have budgets for our hobbies.  If the money is there we can spend it without consulting with each other.  If the money isn't there and we really want it then we have to discuss with each other the possibility of borrowing from one of our other budgets.

I am saving right now with hopes that Kawasaki finally brings in the W800 next year.  Because of that, I am not looking at used bikes at all.  Because when i start looking there is always something I am interested in.  lol!

Buy it and beg for forgiveness! That is the only logical answer.

Money is not an issue, but my wife's hobbies and what she loves are not nearly as expensive as mine.....hence why I get crap for it. I am far from suffering, I tend to get what I want eventually, just have to do it in a way that doesn't cause too much animosity between us. Wife is my best  buddy, she and I have a great thing going on 20 years now.  :)

Gotta do something with that back seat, once she see's that she will always have a picture of some young hottie perched up high.  Do that and I would say ya have a shot
