Gambit Posted February 14, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2009 Wow this is getting expensive. I went to advance to get a couple thing to clean the bike with. After my military discount and still $40 later i have a few things to clean the bike with. My wife is going to kill me soon. I bought the bike as a way to save money on gas to work. I am making up for that money on products to make her like aweome. I am getting away with it so far becaue i explained it isnt something i have to buy every week. Anyone else having this problem? its like a drug addiction right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rottdoglover Posted February 14, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 14, 2009 If the wife starts in about how much you spend on cleaning stuff, chrome, accesories,etc. just ask her what she spends on makeup. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mraf Posted February 14, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 14, 2009 Its a addiction isn't it? You fix this and that. You clean,clean,clean. Pretty soon you start adding LEDs, better horns, higher output stators,better springs,softer seats,wider,taller,shorter,vented windshields and more chrome. When will it end! NEVER. You are committed to two-wheel madness and it only gets worse. Every time you throw your leg over the saddle. Welcome to the insanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cecdoo Posted February 14, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 14, 2009 Hey just remember on those polishes a little goes a long way, esp. on a motorcycle, that stuff could last you for years, Mite want to try that one on the wife, gotta be better than that "make-up" crack:thumbsup2: Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndiaz Posted February 14, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 14, 2009 One of the biggest fallacies, both outside and inside the motorcycle world, is that one saves money by riding motorcycles. I don't ride my Venture to save money; I ride it to enjoy life. On the other hand, riding is a bit more practical than chasing a little white ball down the fairway and end up totally frustrated. At least I can ride to work 90 out of 180 school days, on the average. My wife puts up with my riding because I don't chase women, drink very little, don't gamble at all, and don't play golf. I just ride and go on eBay for this or that for the Venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted February 14, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 14, 2009 Uhhhhh, errrrr, ahem, it's probably best that my wife does NOT know how much I spend on a regular basis on my scoots. Probably enough to make payments on a new one, but then I'd want accessories for it too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else having this problem? its like a drug addiction right now. Tell me about it, Not only do I have an ADVANCE addiction I also have an EBAY addiction. Just don't start buying parts from Yamaha or you'll realize just how economical your old V-8 Lead sled actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted February 14, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 14, 2009 Just tell her it keeps you out of trouble. Plus LED's are safety equipment and if you like Chrome you can say that's safety equipment too. If you need anymore help staying out of trouble don't ask some of these guys there really good at helping you into trouble. :rotf::rotf::rotf: Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeS Posted February 14, 2009 Share #13 Posted February 14, 2009 This is part of the reason, I stick with the old 89 !! All the money I save on not paying Sales Tax, and Interest, ( not to mention the actual price ) of a new Bike, or especially a ( Harley ) allows me to continue to waste, money, time , garage space, buy more tools, plan for modifications, order parts, do modificaitons, cusss, swear, drink gallons of coffee in the garage, purchace new tools that will only be used once, and on and on, etc. etc ----- I usually don't worry about a little dirt, or " Oil Seepage " as long as all my " Mods" are working correctly. However, thru it all--- I have not had to do an Engine Rebuild !!! ( notice, I left an opening there for sombody else to jump into ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
