'Best Classified Ad Ever'

$10,000
'06 Suzuki GSXR 1000
Farmington UT

This Bike is perfect! It has 1000 miles and has had its 500 mile dealer service ($$)
Adult ridden; all wheels have always been on the ground. Used as a cruiser/commuter.

I'm selling it because it was purchased without proper consent of a loving wife.
Apparently "do whatever the f*** you want" doesn't mean what I thought.

Call Steve: (801)867-8292

Poor Steve. I'll bet he has granite countertops.
Too funny.

Granite counter tops go perfectly with my new GSA! That was a cheap compromise. I had to do a whole kitchen addition for my Harley... :laugh :laugh

"do whatever the f*** you want" doesn't mean what I thought.


I once, in our early marriage, 25+ years ago, was looking at purchasing a new Cannondale MT bike ($600.00 on our budget at the time was a lot of money). After a month of trying to convince my wife to allow the purchase, one day she finally said "do what you think is best", instead of the usual "no", so I bought it. Needless to say s**t hit the fan. Never made that mistake again, and the bike was sold. Lesson learned, mama ain't happy, ain't no one happy.

I found out that when I buy a Black Powder Rifle or MC, that jewelry for the SO eliminates any problems. Ride Safe :usa :usa :whistle

[tghsmith]

once saw a photo of a bullitin board add, went something like this..

wife forces sale of three motorcycles
it listed the specs of the three bikes
had the phone number
then said call to make offer on bikes or wife...

if a new bike shows up at the house around here the fight is over who gets it!!!

He could have spent 30 grand on a new car for his wife and there would not have been an issue. Women live to be taken care of. Men live to take care of them. I think that is why we die before them. :scratch How does one negotiate with a passive aggressive spouse?

I don't think all women are like that, at all. I personally know several women who don't "live to be taken care of". The ones who are, though - they surely aren't the ones for me. I'm interested in an equal, not a dependent. Anyone who has to deal with that only has themselves to blame.

Josh has it right!






Although.......................................... .you probably don't want to ask my wife about golf clubs!!!:bolt

Same here...she had a Beemer before I did. She likes farkles and jackets over countertops or jewelry:nyah

Wife is just the short form of She who must be obeyed!

I had a similar problem many moons ago, when I brought home 2 old Triumphs in the back of my small pickup. Major coniption fit. I spent the next 2 weeks working in the garage and sleeping in the den. Got those bikes looking pretty good and running perfect. Sold them both for a handsome profit within a month of buying them. Wife was gracious enough to allow me to keep the profit to finance further bike related purchases. I have never looked back and just keep on doing it so that I can support my bike habit. She just does not understand that one or two bikes in the garage is never enough. But she does like the idea that she usually knows where I am in the evenings, either on the computer or out in the shop trying to make "some piece of junk" work.

I love her, but will never understand her. That's just the way it is.

[crazydrummerdude]

More proof that I never want a significant other, or wife.

I park my motorcycle in my dirty living room every night and buy what I want.

:whistle

[pffog]

He should keep the bike and argued that "do whatever the f*** you want" meant just that. He could have have referred to the 1st and 5th #1 rule, from the Married woman's handbook.

These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered '1 ' ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Tell us what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings.

Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as hockey or motorcycles.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape! That's what ACL Tub of Goo challenge is about!

Thank you for reading this.

Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;

But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

[MartyW]

Bravo!!!:clap

I wonder if some of these "wife" issues aren't really household budgeting issues, and I can't see having arguments in trying to resolve them. Better then, to spend a small part of the household budget on hiring a neutral professional to help the parties sort our their respective priorities, because there may be a lot of emotion which underlies those priorities. It's really a negotiation process, and it's hard to negotiate for yourself.

...I never want a significant other...crazydrummerdude

There are lots of perfectly reasonable women out there, even young ones. :)

[alkoivisto]

Gotta use the 48 hour rule. I you can get some unauthorized purchase into the shop or garage and your wife doesn't notice it 'till after two days, you can claim: "Oh that ol' thing, it's always been there." Quote from Joe Souchery, "Garage Logic" radio show, KSTP. Mpls, Mn.

Always and never are usually (but never always) bad rules, dude.

Just a thought; when you meet a girl who's rebuilding her own Sportster engine, or who swaps VW motors by dropping one into a Radio Flyer wagon, and carting it across the driveway to install in place of the other, you may have found "the one".

P.S. odds are, she won't like jewelry either.

[jamesdunn]

I have a girlfriend and this thread illustrates why I will never have another wife. Had one once....

[bubbagazoo]

In my household, "She who must be obeyed" is also the Chief Financial Officer. Family budgetting problems are non-existent. I ask before I buy and accept what ever the answer is. My DSW has a better idea of how much we can afford to spend on things. I have a motorcycle. I have farkle for my motorcycle. And I get to ride when ever I want to.

[nytrashman]

my wife went away for a weekend and i thought on saturday i would go down to hermy's bmw, which is 3 1/2hrs away, to look at a used f650 they advertised online. when i called her to tell her what i was doing she told me i had better not drive 3 1/2hrs each way to come home with a used bike. i did like she said and came home with a new f650gs.

[Nonskid]

About 4 years ago I had to make a decision. Motorcycle or wife? Hmmm. That bike cost me a lot but it was worth it!
