we all spend money on bikes that our significant others either don't understand or even know about.
so....
what did you buy YOUR S.O. for THIS holiday... only out of the guilt of spending so much on your 2-wheeled obsession?

Diamonds....:hung
I still don't know why those shiny little rocks cost so damn much. I don't wear a watch, and for a long time never wore my wedding ring. Jewelry is over rated

I dunno, I bought her some crap (some kind of kit) for facial cleansing and moisturizing etc... One from Clinique and the other from Lacome or something like that. For both.......$160 :hung
That is a trackday and fuel.

you'll probably get some GOOD KARMA from this "deal" so... it won't be all bad
That pretty funny, cause my wife got the same thing :biggrin

Jeez, guys, what's all this buying wives off crap, Grow some G**D*mn balls already. What did you marry, a mommy? I didn't "ask" before putting down a deposit on my 1098S. I don't ask, I tell. I don't like seeing guys asking permission. We are adults, we make money and we spend it!

She was in tears...
It made the day... :beer

well done, my friend
and... well deserved as well, i'm sure
I married a partner :biggrin
:stupid but also everything we have is in our names together. It's not a matter of growing balls, it's a matter of respect, at least that is how I feel.:biggrin

i've been married 21 years...
and, if i TRIED to treat my life the way he mentioned above....
i wouldn't have been married 21 days...
not because we'd be divorced.... but, someone would have killed me
and.... i would have deserved it
there HAS to be give-and-take
my wife doesn't have my passion for bikes.... of course
so....
it must be made up for in other ways
it doesn't matter who "MAKES" the money...
it's a partnership...
otherwise, why even get married

:lp Haven't had any of that lately have you?:biggrin If It wasn't mutual,I wouldn't get any either.By the way, my "old lady" went down and put the deposit on my 1098s. Maybe it was just to stop me from crying like a little girl. :baby

Gimme a little break, I'm not ALL horrible (just mostly)...
What I didn't say (because I was trying to get a rise out of you guys) is that I also don't tell her what to do. She doesn't ask permission either; we just allow each other to do what makes us happy! Believe me she's no slave.
We've been happily married for 24 years. We do many things together and share many of the same tastes. And she got several very nice and not-inexpensive presents for Christmas, because they were things I thought of on my own that I was sure she would appreciate. Which she did. However she didn't expect anything as payback for my purchase that I did on impulse. She knows I'm passionate like that (and the rest of you guys) but still manage money pretty well overall.
Kidding around always has some truth to it, in my case my favorite riding buddy was forbidden by his wife to ride anymore. He stopped because she said so, not because he wanted to. That is hard to watch. And I miss riding with him. Several more guys at work also ceased due to spousal orders. Also hard to take!
Enjoy your Holiday time and tell your wives that you know this horrible guy who...
And then they'll think you are pretty good!
Peace
^ 24 years of marriage now I understand :lmao
Talking about your buddy where the wife does not let him ride is BS, however I diagnose that as major PW

I hear what you are saying, and you have some vaild points. My wife and I keep seperate accounts, pay our own bills, but don't hesitate to share when necessary. I don't like either extreme to be honest. The 1st extreme are those who are more like business associates than a married couple, and the 2nd are those who can't step 1 foot out of each other's shadow....ever.
I want my wife to appreciate and love me, but I want her to be an independant woman who can take care of herself as well. I also want her to be an understanding person when I bring new bikes home without telling her about it :phil

hell, not even me.... had i known that...... :moped
Wasn't a case of "had to" but I got the GF a new stereo for her car which she had been wanting.
I've been down the "living in the shadow of" type of marriage and IF I get married again, it will be MUCH more of a partnership. That much I promised myself!!
I personally think Phil has the right idea. Your own accounts, your own responsibilities but cherish each other as a partner in the relationship.
Good on you!

Oh, wait you mean a hook up on a ring? Call my sister for that; I'll give you her number.
