After having read a lot of posts here about guys getting new pipes etc. for their toys I thought of a good way to "prove" to the better half that the new pipes are not because you want them, but because you need them.
Step one: mix a small amount of sand and red "water colour" paint in a bowl.
Next: Carefully dip a rag in the mixture and get a good amount on the rag.
Third: Dab the mixture onto the part of the pipe that you want replaced (head-pipe, rear section etc)
Then, go running and screaming into the house proclaiming that the pipes are "RUSTING" and they have to be replaced immediately!!!!!!!

If done correctly, you will have your new pipes within the week. If not, run for your life!!!!!

is your wife blond??mine would see rt thru that scam...haar!

 

I just waited till she went on a cruise!!!

cruise = new pipes hmmmm... maybe some other stuff... couple of new guns maybe!!

 

OR...you could wait til she's asleep and steal your ***** back from her purse and go buy your damn exhaust.

Just a thought.

 

You just need to go get the pipes, and tell her that it's required when you have a new Harley to CHANGE the exhaust. Mandatory! Can't own a Harley without it! No questions, no fraud, that's just the way it has to be! And if she has any concerns, tell her to go look at every other Harley on the road. End of story! And if that doesn't work, ask her nicely if you can replace the pipes, maybe she won't send you to your room without dinner if you ask nice.....

 

When the trick wears the pants i guess you have to get creative when you want something.

 

Dang i am glad i dont have to do stuff like that.....when i want something like that i just go buy it.......then i tell her oh yea i bought pipes and she writes it in the check book.....then i am done......

 

Jeez there's some macho guys in this thread. I'm gonna go sneak my nads out of her purse and buy some pipes. Yeah, that's the ticket.

 

You beat me to this comment.
