New bike for wife
Me and the wifey were out for a ride today(70 and sunny)  :
and we stopped by the Harley dealership. I'm planning on getting an FHLR soon.
So the wife has been thinking about getting something for a little longer distances and she really took to the FXDL Low Rider. I had tried to get her to take a look at the Sprint ST but she wasn't interested. Sorry guys.
So she found a bike in Suede Blue and black and really took to it. I told her to go for it so we brought it home. Got a good deal on it too.
The only thing is now her bike has a bigger engine than mine. Does this mean I have to turn in my man card?

Well, all I can say is don't try to get into a pissing match over who's is faster. Just wait patiently for her next to your bike as she finally emerges from the twisties.

I thought the title "new bike for wife" was implying that you made a trade...

TBA, we're going to have to pull you away from day-trading for awhile.

That's funny, I thought it said "new wife for bike"
& I was thinking "That's just what I need."
Now that I've got 2 bikes & all.

akenaten-you don't have to turn in your man card until she flys by you, sparks trailing from the pegs, on your favoritie twisties.

So "mine is bigger than yours" takes precedent over my favorite "less is more"???
