Need good logic

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?

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

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......

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

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

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

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

**Rockbuddy** · 22nd January 2009, 21:48

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?

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

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

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

eh Sully

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!

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

Or quickly change the subject when she does...
