ShawnR Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 How do you guys convince the wife (if you have one) that getting a second bike doesn't make me a greedy selfish bike buying addict?I want this. I can afford this. I'm sure I can fix this. She will make my life a living hell if I come home with this even if I am sure I can resell and make money on it in the future.

Todd#43 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 How do you guys convince the wife (if you have one) that getting a second bike doesn't make me a greedy selfish bike buying addict?I've had multiple bikes multiple times. I used the "shoe" excuse, and it works every time.I want this. I can afford this. I'm sure I can fix this. She will make my life a living hell if I come home with this even if I am sure I can resell and make money on it in the future.Then grow a sack and go buy it - before some other real man does.Besides, its much easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

ShawnR Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Chesterville, Ohio? You gotta have a barn, right?Hmm, as a matter of fact, I do! If it is still available friday, I will at least go look at it. I suppose I could always see if he is interested in a trade for something (usually a gun).That way it is just trading a toy for another toy.

ShawnR Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 If you're going to meet this guy you should make sure to bring a gun....Because something sounds fishy? Or to see if he wants to trade?I am just thinking that if I can trade a $500 gun for a $700 bike, we may just both come out ahead. I may have something tucked away in a paddle holster too, just to make myself a little more comfortable.Any negative "vibes" and I just walk away from it.
