Wife bought me a motorcycle!

SpeedCostsMoney · 05-09-2007

I mentioned on another thread I bought a 650r, that's not the whole story. My wife bought me the motorbike!

I had a Nighthawk CB750 and sold it. I was looking into getting another used one. I really wanted the 650r but it was going to cost a little more then what the Nighthawk sold for. I thought I was going to have to wait a few months before I was able to get another ride. I was bummed, that meant I would miss the peak-ridding season.

Well, I came home one Friday afternoon and she said, "Get in the car, we are going shopping". I thought, oh great, time to spend more money at Wal-mart. She pulled into the Kawasaki dealer, I asked her what we where doing here? She replied, "just looking". We walked into the dealership and there were two sitting there a new red one and a blue one. She says to me, " pick one".

I was ecstatic.

Anyways just wanted to tell my story and show some pics. PEACE!

A wife after my own heart!!!!!

I did the same thing for my husband last April. I wanted to surprise him, so I researched bikes by myself (and decided on the Vulcan 900) and applied for a loan by myself. When everything was approved and in place, THEN I told him about it!

Only drawback to how I did it.....is that the bike is in MY name!!!!!

Since I took out the loan for the bike myself, the bike is technically.....
MINE!!!!!!!!

Nice bike too.

I agree. Except I can't see the pics, but since Tod and I agree on just about everything else so far (except him flying most of the way to BTK rally -softcore) I'm sure the bike is nice.

*Tod* · 05-09-2007

Hey, I'm not flying most of the way.

I'm flying diagonally across the country to WA, then riding in with the PNW Guys.

It's only saving me like a couple hundred miles. pffft

stevebtx12 · 05-09-2007

Wow, what a great wife! Nice pics and nice bike!

fretbuzz · 05-09-2007

Hey, Tod. I'm going to Colorado for training next month, and guess what? I'm RIDING my bike.

P.S. Sorry about the hijack.

jdpenn · 05-09-2007

I wish I had a wife like that. Where do you find these women? Oh, and nice ride!

You're on my "if I win the lotto" list -with a few others on this forum.

My guess is that she just got tired of you pouting and whining like a whipped puppy every time you saw one go by.
