Re: [emrat:2177] Strategies for Norm to Avoid Selling His Motorcycle (Because He Has a Wife)

You're right Norm! That's a great idea to get the Bonneville and trade the speedmaster on a Speed Triple!

All very good ideas I'm sure but I don't consider a Bonneville to be that different from the Speedmaster that I'll have seller's regrets.  It's not like I'm looking for a Hooligan speed Triple or anything!  Garage space and wife resistance limitations are the key factors in my thought process.  Appreciate your ideas though.

Well, Norm, there are alternatives to selling your Speedmaster.

 

I just want you to think your predicament through clearly before you do anything rash.  There's nothing worse than living with "motorcycle regret."

 

For example, you can tell your wife, "Sweetheart, you know that . .

·         I'm not an alcoholic.

·         I'm not an inveterate gambler.

·         I'm not a drug addict.

·         I'm not addicted to pornography.

·         I don't chase other women (OK, so don't tell her the truth about what you and Vince do at Sturgis when you hang out at the biker bars).

·         Etc.

 

. . . so what's the big deal about having three motorcycles?  Some guys in the Triumph club have (just pick a number) motorcycles.  Like Larry, Captain Bob, Ron, etc."

 

Or, you can just move the Speedmaster to Curtis Graves' big garage and then ride it from there.

 

Or, you can put big tarps over your bikes in the garage, and just nestle the Speedmaster up close to you BMW or your new Bonnie, and your wife will never notice that you actually have three bikes in the garage.  Note: you will have to be careful about when you take the bike out and return it so you don't get caught.

 

I once had a (second) wife when I acquired three bikes in one year . . . I still have two of the bikes, but I don't have the wife.  I am not suggesting that strategy for you, however.

 

I'm sure other EMRAT members can come up with some other ideas for you, Norm.
