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.  :)

Having the money may not be an issue, but it sounds like spending it could be an issue.  Sometimes if I am not sure of a purchase I will bounce it off my wife.  When I was thinking Versys she pointed out that it was half way between the KLR650 and Ninja 650.  I agreed and sold both of those after I bought the Versys.  The only reason I have the Voyager is to ride her around comfortably since I do want to involve her in my passion.  She in turn has an older very trained and tame horse that will take care of its rider.  He is what I ride on the occasions that I ride. 

Sounds like you might want to have a discussion with her.  If the bike is a good deal you know you can sell it with little cost of ownership.

We have discussed it, and then she gave me "the look". We shall see what happens, if this one doesn't pan out there are others. I also like the 2007 CBR and 2008 Gixxer, they are all speaking to me as a 3rd bike option.  8)

If I brought my wife flowers she would make my male parts hurt :o

I say you do the groveling like a man thing, if that fails pout until she relents, once she relents bounce around like a little puppy ;D  If all of those things fail send me the owners info so I can buy it 8)

It better be a smoking hot deal:). The sale of 600cc sport bikes has fallen in the basement over the last couple of years. The articles I read suggest they are currently the worse selling bike in the big 4 line ups.

You don't wanna miss the HWY 28 Hellbender or 421 Snake!

And tell my dear friend Heather I'll be up to see her soon =)

Don't forget the Cherohala Skyway, Foothills parkway, 441 over to Cherokee, the south part of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I just completed riding the Blue Ridge Parkway from south to north.  Great ride.

Oh yeah I have ridden all those, and I will be back down there in 2 weeks to hit anything I miss on this trip.  ;)  Worth going down just to ride the Cherohala a few times.
