I can tell you've never ridden in Southern California. It use to be

Re: OT - Motorcycle fuel mileage
 

CRWLR,

You sound a little whipped. Realistic too, I'll grant
that. How do you settle who gets what cars in your marriage?
That's the real issue - not mpg or safety issues.

In my marriage to The Beast we're too indebt to do
anything but alternate. Come aug. her vehicle's paid off and
it's my turn. I know she sees me drooling over H-D's and is
just waiting for me to drop the ball and start begging. Fuggaboutit !

Soon or later she'll start asking me what my "next car"
is going to be. The Kids have already asked. I won't go behind
her back, I don't need too. If she thinks we need a new washer first,
that's fine. Sooner or later she'll get curious. When she hears H-D
( "I knew it !" ) and tries to nix over some B.S. reason, No problem.
Sample dialogue begins:

> "Honey, have you thought about a new car at all ?"

Yeah, I'm getting a Harley when it's affordable. Big one too.
You'll hear me coming a block away. The Kids'll freak !

> "No Way ! You're gonna ride a Harley to work every day? I doubt it."

No. I'm not trading in this time. I'll keep the jeep for 80%
commuting and ride when only when it suits me. My target is
minimum 18 years on the Jeep and the Harley for life. Both
have easy access to aftermarket parts and self-maintainence.
I love my Jeep and I'm happy with it. Any extra play money can
go to one ride or the other.That's enough to satisfy me.

> "There's no way we're buying a Harley !"

OK. But it's MY TURN. Before you buy, I gotta buy and that's how it's
gonna be for me. The longer I wait, the longer you do too.
Consider carefully, Dear.
