I just did a quick "inmy head" rundown of that list and came up with over 3K. I DO need to burn the list. She spends a lot on hair, make-up, etc...but not THAT much (as far as I know). I think maybe I have a sickness. After I get chrome clutch and brake levers I'll stop. I promise...oh, maybe a chrome regulator cover too, THEN I'll be done. LOL

That's a great idea! Show her the list and make the argument that this offsets only a portion of her hair and make up. I bet I know where you are sleeping tonight.

Making a list like that and then showing it in public....thats just not right. It breaks several "Man Rules"and puts the rest of us in jeopardy. Hand over your Man Card

I did that list on my last bike. Put it together in Excel, real nice like, with formulas and stuff. Never again! It was instant amunition and not the best topic of discussion. I did likethe list so I could admire whatI had done. Oh well.


Like said befor, burn or hide that list. You won't get anything of it out of resale anyway.
The part that pissed me off was I was very dilligent to save and categorize all of the paperwork, receipts and recods of my last bike. When I traded it in, nobody gave a crap. [:@]

The trick is to divide it into 2 lists and let her know which items were for "her". My wife wanted the chrome and gold light visors, and of course the chrome bag rails and luggage rack to to keep her from scuffing up the bags and to to carry her stuff. She needed to the HD adjustable floorboard mounts to make her seating postion more comfortable, which required the chrome pans and chrome/rubber inserts....then mine had to match, so that really goes against her column. The stage-1 stuff is to have power for riding 2 up, so that's also in her column. George Anderson tourpak relocation kit, more comfort for her so naturally on her list. I got a little trim stuff for the gauges and fairing, backrest and shift linkage......jeez, I think my list is a little on the short side...need to get more.

And don't forget the all important "Safety List".
