"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Nah, but my wife doesn't really care what I buy or do, as long as the fam is taken care of.    [thumbsup]

I could easily buy a Streetfighter S. She probably wouldn't notice. But then I'd break my "enough money on hand to be out of work for a year" rule.

Damn my parents for raising a goody two shoes.  [bang]
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

keep at least one credit card that is not a joint account.  i do, she does.  we never ask each other about it.  it's sort of an unspoken understanding.  we all need to splurge every once in a while.

+1, except make it a debit card.  We divide the expenses evenly, contribute an agreed amount to savings, then the rest is money for toys.  If you have no toys, then life isn't a lot of fun.

So effective immediately, a new rule has been implemented in the home

All maintenance related items (oil changes, valve adjustments, timing belts, chain tensioning,chain lube, throttle syncing, etc) will be logged by me in a book. All associated labor hours will be tallied up credited to me at the GOING shop rate ($80/hr, 15 minute minimum) for future purchases.

This money can then be used for any mods I choose at any time.


Cause I'm sure she will go for that!!!!

Yup.

Right now I NEED a car.  My AC took a crap on the beater I'm driving, and it's summer time in Atlanta.  Can't commute 25 mins to work in 105 deg temps without arriving smelling like a bum.

I'm having a hard time "treating" myself to a nice car, something sub 15k that will be nice.
