Okay, Short story - Bought new bike in November with blessing of the financial controller (the wife). Then explained needed helmet to go with bike. Good As. Then explained needed Jacket for safety reasons. Good As. Then mentioned pants would be good idea, was reluctant but could see it was for my well being. All sorted and everyone happy. I go on holiday, sell bike and buy new bike. No money left. My problem. How do I convince her it is a great idea to put an after market exhaust on the bike which will enhance sound and appearance. Any suggestion?

[spookytooth]

after market exhaust not onlymake the bike liter hence stop faster,the extra sound lvls some how make it easier to see.An all round safty device

[gunnyrob]

you are fucked.

I'm a strong advocate of getting really good protective gear before you get the bike you want, but having an after market exhaust just doesn't cut it I'm afraid......:jerry:

[FJRider]

So you think shes pretty AND silly. Quit while you're ahead... and still allowed to keep the bike.

[yod]

wife? => logic?

???

can i try whatever you're on?!?!

[balans]

Global warming? less emmisions, a blatant lie of course but how much do you want the exhaust?

[Swampdonkey]

Pop the question whilst window shopping outside a micheal hill jewellers store( You must look interested in the jewllery) Sometimes works...

Just TELL her you have new financial control systems...YOU... and then DUCK... :2thumbsup

[WolfCollared]

Who wears the pants??

you're a biker - tell her what you say goes.

[Rockbuddy]

tell her "loud pipes save lives" easy really

[rachprice]

Or just buy it, you work dont you? You should have your own money with which you can do what you please.
Its your hobby why not spend a bit of money on it?

[Static]

Its Simple... Its far easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission :lol:

[Number One]

Suggestion? Hmmmm ooo I just about weed a little there...

You better give unbothered sleep ins on Sundays, lots of head and g spot action, breakfasts in bed now and then, drinks fetched and feet rubbed :love:

New tyres for her bike goes a long way too...

eh Sully ;)

[shafty]

After market exhaust can equal un needed static from the fuzz, expense, tuning hassles, WOF hassles, wife hassles - get her a bike next then start again!

[retro asian]

Just do it. Maybe she won't even notice the new one. :pinch:

Or quickly change the subject when she does...:sweatdrop

What kind of crap is this? A woman being reasonable about the household finances. Quick someone get her to the hospital :msn-wink:



Seriously though, IMO that's the only way a relationship can work. Even if you're married and finances are pooled there needs to be play money for each person.


In my case I'd rather go to the next 3 MotoTT track days ($300 entry fees, $100 accommodation, $150 gas, $600 tyres) than get a new sound for my bike. Of course if I hadn't spent $2k on a new TV I'd be busy justifying spending it on the bike :lol:

Oh very funny!
Having your own money as well as a joint account is definitely the way to go
You generally have different priorities to most people so its only logical that people are going to disagree on how money is best spent.
Some people just don't understand the satification that you can get out of bikes (or any hobby for that matter) and thats fine, but they shouldn't stop you from spending money on something you enjoy, just accept that thats what they like.

Or you could just buy her some diamonds as well Im sure she couldnt complain then

[mashman]

you are fucked.

unless you try the female tact of just going on and on and on and on and on, you get the picture, about it, then, sometimes, just sometimes she buys them for you to shut you up... oh i do dearly love my wife

[Cosmo]

Thanks to all for the suggestions. Clearly there are some very intelligent people with some very good ideas. Thanks spookytooth, Rockbuddy & Shafty.:msn-wink:

This is for sure the next best option if Plan A does not work

[vifferman]

That doesn't work.
I spent ... hmmmm... about $6k on bling for her one year, but still got grumbled at about the bike jacket she bought me for Xmas/birthday (for the same price as one of her several Adrienne Winkleman suit jackets).

Obviously, logic does not enter into it. :doh:
You need cunning, not logic.
I bought a VFR with an aftermarket pipe already fitted. :yes:
Forward thinking FTW! :niceone:

[discotex]

I thought Number One already suggested cunnilingus.




Oh wait....

[ManDownUnder]

How do I convince her it is a great idea to put an after market exhaust on the bike which will enhance sound and appearance. Any suggestion?

Don't.

It's a losing argument that's going to make you look bad. Tell her you'd like one but it obviously makes sense not to. So you're not going to push it.

It's true - it avoids a fight and gives you credability for next time you want something... :)

Leave little post-it notes everywhere

For my Birthday I want an aftermarket exhaust!
For Valentines day I want an aftermarket exhaust!
For our Wedding Anniversary I want an aftermarket exhaust!
If you loved me you would buy me an aftermarket exhaust!

[Number One]

I wish you the best of luck young Jedi :niceone:

[vifferman]

I thought Number One already suggested cunnilingus..
That's cunning talking, not thinking. :confused:
I think this job calls for both types of cunning: thinking, talking, native cunning, and underhanded tactics.
And being good with numbers...

Oh - and you realise that if by some weird twist of fate you are actually successful in getting an aftermarket zorst AND retaining your wedding tackle, you're going to have some SERIOUS sucking-up to do when the bike fails a WOF or roadside test for being too loud...

the restrictions on the stock pipe are there to meet strict sound and enviroment targets, not preserve fuel and prolong engine life.


Good Luck

Loud pipes save lives - that plus it will improve fuel economy no end.





Well that's my storey and I'm sticking to it.
