Wife just doesn't understand!?

I have a chance to purchase a beautiful 2008 Road King Classic. The price is right but there is just one hang-up, the wife wants me to sell my 2007 Heritage and I'm not going to do it! What doesn't she understand about having two bikes?

They don't have to be logical. They are wives!

Logic, I hadn't thought about that! The funny thing is she loves the ride on the Road King versus the Heritage. Don't get me wrong she likes riding with me on the Heritage she just enjoyed the ride on the Road King a whole lot more!

Does she have her license? If not this would be a step in the right direction

Re: Wife just doesn't understand!?

The key here is if your wife rides. Mine does. The number of bikes we now have is 6 and counting. Up, not down.

Re: Wife just doesn't understand!?

Hey, she is a wife, go figure.

I have had 3 bikes at one time and when it all boiled down to it, I really only used one bike.
That being said, if you can afforde it, buy a 2nd bike.
