My wife wouldn't notice anything new on the bike. But she would notice (in a heartbeat) if the bank account dipped.

The thing is that most wives would not know the difference anyay. Well not unless you got a completely different scoot.

Heck my wife would not know the dif if I was to trade mine in on a new one with close to the same color.

She did not notice the different seat on mine or the other things I put on it. The only thing she noticed is that I took the tour pack off and put it on a shelf in the garage.

Mine doesn't mind as it comes out of my "mad money" and I usually end up buying just as much for her heritage as I do on my bikes.

Merry Christmas!
Do like me, take enough off that it looks good and have it all around bike. Rub some dirt on you face and chin. Catch her walking by and start moaning and groaning about this dang broken Harley. If you catch her attention mumble something like darn replace parts are $320. bucks, probably ought to just get a new bike, there going for $32000 but if I finance I can spread it out 6 years. That ought to keep here smiling even if you run over to $620 or more.
