Good work dude. Your priorities are spot on! :thumbup :lol

 

Priorities bro. You are def a man I could drink beers with.

 

LMAO. Half the stuff I buy my wife has no clue about it.

 

If my Mrs ever reads any of my build threads...I'm a dead man!:hammer:

 

This is the best thread title ever

 

Please promise to update us in a week?

 

I'll be sure to post as soon as her lawyer files the divorce papers :hammer:

 

Does she know you ride man? Buying shit for the bike, hitting track days, etc, are one thing...but damn, buying the entire bike?

There was a thread on here once probably a year back where some fella did that. Chick wasn't aware he bought the bike and didn't like them to begin with - something about past history not being good around bikes. Don't recall the turnout, but the consensus was the dude was a prick for doing something like that to her.

Hope she doesn't care you ride, and then well it's just a good laugh if the money isn't an issue. Hell, my wife buys enough ****ing shoes to outfit a small army, so I always figured that justified my track expenses. :fact

 

Ha! Hope I don't end up with the prick status. She should be cool with it. I've been riding since I was 6 years old... her dad has ridden bikes his whole life... money isn't an issue. She was giving me some flak about safety issues so I just deferred and made the decision on my own... :epimp

 

If you bought something that expensive, without telling her, you have bigger issues between you two. :fact

 

:hammer::lhumper::dollar:saw:

 

Nice back man! Maybe paint it into city camo will make it less visible?

 

:corn

 

That's pretty much my approach at this point too.

 

Nice bike, but...

You either need to grow a pair of balls, OR
Find a woman who shares your passion, and doesnt mind you buying bikes.

 

:lol Best thread of the month.

Congrats and well wear. You're going to make some great memories on that bike :thumbup

 

I bought a R1 from a friend. I introduced the friend to the wife and told her he's storing the bike at our house because he lives in an apartment and doesn't have a garage. Trust me, complete honesty does not make a marriage last.

 

great bike.. sounds like you're pretty confident your woman will come around..

at least with her old man having been a rider all his life... it makes it a bit easier..

 

Good on ya. I wouldn't even be discrete about it. It'd be in the garage when she got home. A used bike isn't like you showing up with a brand new GTR, nine eleven, or some second home.

 

The GTR or 911, WILL BE your new home. When she throws you out !

 

My first wife said I couldn't have a bike unless it was a harley, we got divorced shortly after. I told my second wife that I'm buying a sport bike and she can like it or kiss my ass. I didn't really say that but wanted too. She doesn't care what I buy as long as we have the bills covered, which we are debt free except for one car payment. But I wouldn't just go buy it without telling her. Recipe for disaster, and I like my second wife.

 

When I decided I wanted an R1 I told my wife I was going to buy a bike, then just did it. She knows I work extremely hard for my money and doesn't tell me what I can do with it. She also knows I'd rather be single than be told what to do.

 

Tell her its a present for her, and when she doesn't like it or is too scared of it, say oh well I guess I'll take it.

 

Good luck with the outcome, sheot like that never leads to positive results.

 

It's a good job my missus can't tell the difference between standard and Ti bolts...

Enjoy the bike man, you got the best model! :flex:

 

Hey man you only have one life to live, so its best you enjoy it. I couldn't get away with a purchase that big, not without atleast saying something about it. But if I want something and I work my ass off to get it she can be mad all she wants. All I would do is tell her, if she doesn't like it she can kick rocks. Life is way too short to not enjoy something you love doing.

 

^5 I do that to my husband alot. The only vehicle he knew I was getting was my present bike. But I don't hide it. I like to see his head explode. :lol

Good luck!

 

I like that attitude

 

Tell her you bought it to bring you both closer together.....

 

Better have a gift lying around for the day she finds out

 

Atta boy. Shit man I always told all of the girlfriends I've had that I had priorities. If they didn't like it, it was their issue not my.

 

ask for forgiveness first rather than permission. That way works for some people, but some people may end up divorced over stupid crap like this.. Best of luck to you sir!
