So I currently own this motorcycle:


This one is for sale for $3900, and I want it. How do I talk my wife into letting me buy it?


Oh, and for a side project, I want to buy this one (only $100!) and get it running:

offer to sell the one you have for both.

keep your finances seperate from hers and tell her that how many motorcycles you have is none of her business.

8/13/2008 8:35:28 PM

lol duke, that will work. but the second she wants to buy 10 pairs of shoes... he'll flip out.

8/13/2008 8:53:30 PM

^^ I agree with that.

8/13/2008 9:02:54 PM

how's an 06+ R1 for $3900 not gonna be stolen?

[Edited on August 13, 2008 at 9:04 PM. Reason : especially mid season]

Having met your wife

it isn't going to fucking happen.

1. ghost ride current bike while we all watch.
2. collect insurance payout for it being totaled.
3. buy new bike.


-or-



you could just go inside, slap you wife in the mouth with your cock, tell her your buying a new bike, and if she says no slap her again. she'll eventually give in.

you know what to tell a woman with two black eyes, right?
nothing, you've already told her twice.

I always thought it was the man of the house who's in charge of financial decisions.

haha.

She can buy as many shoes as she wants. We both have a monthly spending fund to buy whatever we want, and that works well. I don't have much leverage room for another motorcycle when the "household" is giving me money to fly. I could take up cheaper hobbies.....

....or not.

8/13/2008 9:49:15 PM

yea no way that R1 price is legit.

8/13/2008 9:49:23 PM

Is that R1 in Nigeria?

8/13/2008 10:20:18 PM

maybe it's a salvage/rebuilt bike? still kinda cheap. or maybe he's just using that as a generic picture.

anyway, i have no further input. i'm entirely too selfish about my toys to comprehend any such compromise.

that's part of why i'd never get married without maintaining seperate finances

if she wants to buy a bunch of stupid shit, i don't want to worry about it, and i don't want her telling me that i'm spending too much on cars/bikes/boats/jet skis/flying/guns, or saying "we don't need to save/invest that much--let's take that money this month and take a vacation".

8/13/2008 11:55:30 PM

that price is wayyyy too low.

8/14/2008 12:04:37 AM

explain to her how much of a deal you're getting on it.

thats how women justify buying a bunch of shit they don't need and/or can't afford.

"but honey it was on sale"

$3900 isn't happening--something is up. either that bike is a scam or it's a salvage title. if it's a salvage title then that's cool, just know what you're getting into. obviously don't send anybody money without it being cash where you take the bike with you after you pay someone

8/14/2008 8:06:42 PM

Yeah, that price tag is too sweet, for sure. But I still want it.

8/14/2008 9:33:06 PM

tell her that if you die she'll get a sweet life insurance check...

8/15/2008 12:26:06 AM

how about you grow a fucking pair and just do it


pussy
