My wife made me buy the 11.5 CUSE6 - She's a keeper and so is the bike

No brainer, get rid of the wife.
The bike is less expensive to keep. The bike doesn't complain if you stay out late. The bike doesn't need a closet full of clothes and matching shoes. The bike won't bitch about you not shaving or letting your hair grow. The bike doesn't care if you look at another bike. And best of all, you can trade for another bike whenever you get the urge without going to court.

I'm thinkin he'd make a lot more renting her out rather than selling her. Justsayinzall. :nixweiss:

My X wife did not like bikes so that's why she is my X wife...My new wife bought me a new HD after only dating for 30 days. I must have been in my best behavior...

I definitely "traded up" as well. My ex coerced me into selling my bike when our kids were born, in the name of "responsibly" and "safety". Like a fool, I went along, and I went many years without riding. My wife (now) bought me my Evo '95 FLHTP for my 50th birthday in 2007. I sold that sweet bike when I bought Honey Badger... but KEPT my wife... and my leather jacket! I plan on keeping all of them for life!

Never had any girl even insinuate about me getting rid of my bikes, I guess they all knew what the choice would be...

I sold my old bike and bought a dining room table for my now X wife. She still has the table.
My current wife didn't want me to buy a bike, didnt really get the whole HD thing, but after her first ride on the Deuce she's never been off of it. Plus, she insisted that I buy our 2011 CVO Street Glide while we were out shopping for a new helmet for her.
The only time she ever complains is when we are heading home from a ride.

My wife is the reason why I have the CVO Breakout, she saw the bike and said that is your next bike.
-
My wife is not a fan of bikes and rides with me one or two times a year for an hour or so, she would never give me that line either the bike or me because she knows what I would say, THE BIKE !!!!!!!!!!!!
-
My x-wife told me I could have a bike or a marriage, not both! Shortly after that I had two bikes! :orange:
-
Fortunately I have the best of both worlds - A beautiful wife and bike!
She took up riding her own a number of years ago, and just can't get enough!
Although, she does tire on occasion...

My wife turned 59 years old yesterday and has been on her Dad's Harley's since she can remember. When I was dating her I didn't have any transportation so my future father in law said you are going to get a bike soon I hope. He helped me pick up a 350cc Honda and then my first new Sportster in 1972 which I drove almost year round since I didn't have a car. When the 72 was in for numerous repairs he lent me his 68 Burgundy Dresser to get around. Wife loves riding as much as I do, she tried it on her own but after a few close calls she is quite content as a BSR. My wife is very quiet, shy and kind of introverted so who would believe she digs Burnouts, wheelies from tel. pole to tel. pole and often going way to fast. I think it's a form of therapy for her. I have calmed down quite a bit the last year and she's OK with that. She did tell me when I can't handle a two wheeled machine forget about a trike and go just get a nice convertible because it just won't be the same. I'm a real lucky guy. She did say I can get another bike when I wanted but since I'm retired and she works and she is well aware of every penny that went into all the maintenance, improvements and repair work to get to 70,000 miles. She just smiled and said no more excessively loud, & slow bikes that seem like she is riding a furnace. In the fall we talked about new bikes again so I arranged a long test ride on a Concours. I forgot just how fast those in-line 4's are, we had a blast but she wasn't very comfortable on the bike and said maybe we should do a test ride on the 6 cylinder BMW. Yes Deer!

My wife bought my CVO for me too... I'm seeing a definite trend here!

Best thing I ever saw on the back door of a bike trailer.[If my wife let me ride her as much as I ride my Harley I would be home right now]

Another lucky guy here. Wife picked out the 11 when we walked into a Harley dealer while out on a ride and then she bought me the 13 while I was in Japan for work. I will be keeping her. :orange:

When we got married my wife knew that I would have a bike. She knew I love riding and has never asked me to give it up. She rode on the back with me several times a year for many years. Around 2005 she started taking some trips with me on the bike. In 2007 she decided she wanted to learn to ride. April of 07 she got a 07 883, in June we rode to Key west and back, 2400 mile trip. By Jan of 08 she had 24K on the 883 so we traded it for a 09 Heritage, they were doing 100% MSRP for the sportster on trade. She still has the Heritage with 90K on it. We Traded her 11 Street glide in May of 13 as it had 39K on it. The 13 Street glide has 20K on it now. So she has done a little over 170K miles in six years and 7 months.
She loves to ride as much if not more than I do. She has never bought me a bike. She has never said a negative word about me buying a bike, not even when when I got the 13 CVO Road King with out telling her, and did not trade my 12 CVO Road Glide.
I will keep her

I'm very lucky also. My wife has bought my last 3 Harleys for me as a surprise, and my last truck.... I'm a blessed man :bananarock:
