Well guys, I think i just pulled the slickest trick in my life this weekend. I took my wife out on my new 13 road king and stopped by the Harley shop, we were looking at bikes and i said to her, " wow you look good on that bike". And the sales person also commented. well as we were getting on the my **** to go do some more riding she said she wanted to start riding. So I was like ok, lets go look at some Sportsters and see if you like them. She picked out some used 883 with a bunch of girly crap on it. So i was like yeah that would be a good bike, but they have a Candy orange one the same color as mine brand new inside. So she goes in to look at it and decided she liked the idea of matching color bikes.

This whole thing was playing right into my hand, I have been wanting a sportster ever since i had an old 1980 iron head. And i really was liking the orange on black look. But i knew i would never be able to talk her into buying another one being as i just bought my road king in july. But if she thought it was for her, that's a different story.

So i do some haggling and got it for 7800 out the door. I'll pick it up later this week, The great thing is as of right not she doesnt even have a license yet. Now this may back fire to after she gets her license, but i told her no girly **** in case i ever have to ride it, She was ok with that as long as we can put some skulls on it she said lol.

 

Sounds like you scored big time, congrats!

 

Way to go bro. My wife is next. The only difference is she knows how my mind works as far as wanting another bike lol. Riding with the wife should be fun though. It helps to include them in your hobbies. Good overall score for you and your ole lady.

 

May she never read the forums...LOL

Congratulations on your new bike! LOL

 

You clever devil.

 

IMO the best thing that can happen, that she now gets her license and both of you go hit the road & share the fun of riding together.

 

Agree & agree...you better hope HD doesn't start a line of "girly" looking skull crap. I know they already have a bejeweled line...watch out!

 

Just wait till she adds the diamond ice collection to that bike ;-). It will look good with the orange and black.

But if it is hers let her do with what she wants with so she can make it hers and get comfortable riding.

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!! Does she have any [single] older sisters?

[insert: Elmer J. Fudd voice overdub:] "Vewwwwwwy twickie, huh huh!! Oh, and the bike is vewy nice too!"



Looks like you did real well! You gonna' hook her up with a local MSF course?

=8^)

 

Diamond who? What??!! Don't do it!!! She's gotta' make it her own but help her to make it as original as possible, as in non cookie cutter. That stuff is sooooooo passé.

Now unicorns and gargoyles, that's different. LOL.
