    SHOULD I SELL MY WIFE and KEEP MY AT?

    Obviously from my sig I have 2 bikes....and believe when I say that my my wife gives me reminders all the time as to.."Why do you need 2 bikes? " "We could use the $ here..or there.." She then gets the usual blank stare from me until our little talks blow over.
    In the end she realizes that my bikes are just one of my passions and people need to be happy.

    And now she's happy as I just bought her a new mini-van.
    I should be ok for a little while about having 2 many bikes.

    you can never have too many bikes, tell your lovely wife that the Africa Twin is quickly becoming a classic bike and will soon be worth far more so you need to keep it in pristine condition and not ride it too much which is why you need the other bike.

    I tell you something i was divorced 6 years ago, went into the divorce with £500,000 + came out with £50,000 it is called justice.

    I vowed from that day on that MY MONEY IS MINE and hers is hers. I now have 3 bikes, if i want 300 thats my business AND I WOULD HAVE THEM. If a woman does not want to accept that then bye, bye or as a batchelor friend of mine says it would be "time for tears" !!!!

    I see so many guys putting up with so much Cr*p, Why do this?

    DO NOT SELL YOUR WIFE

    It just seems damm silly to me, when I might be pursuaded to exchange her for one of my bikes.

    I agree with an above comment, DO NOT SELL THE WIFE, part exchange her for another @.
