help in the “convincing” my wife

[mclaw44]

Ok my Spyder lover friends, I need your help. I need help in the “convincing” my wife I NEED a 2013 RT SE5 Limited. My current ride is a 2009 SM5 with lots of mods. Her side of the story “you have so much vested in your Spyder”. So Please Help, give me your witty words you guys / gals are so good at coming up with and let’s see if this works and I can bring home a new Spdyer to my garage. :shemademe_smilie:

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Just go buy it and surprise her!

 

[Bob Denman]

Does she ride with you?
Put her up in the Navigator's perch of an RT, and the bike ought to sell itself! :thumbup:

Depends. It's one thing to trade up, quite another to drop coin on a second one. You could just leave maps and route plans on the coffee table, from Ohio to say .... Sturgis or Yellowstone, you know.. somewhere a long long way away that needs luggage space and a comfy pillion seat?

That doesn't work too well, With Woman"" Unless like in my case, every time a new bike or ATV shows up unexpectedly in my barn, A large check shows up in her hands made out to a furniture store..:bowdown:

Best thing in my advantage was that I kept insisting. In your case, just convince her it is an upgrade on her comfort!nojoke

Been there... done that!:yikes::lecturef_smilie: Sometimes the saying "in the doghouse" goes literaly...

Or the credit cards showing clothing stores or motorcycle parts (in my case, motorcycle gear AND mods on her RS-S)!:yikes:

 

[mclaw44]

She does ride once and awhile.....mmmmmm complains there just isn't enougth room for the two us. GREAT POINT! thats a good one!

Just tell her the old one is broke. It will cost to much to replace the kanuton valve and wabbolator shaft :hun:. And that it also keep leaking blinker fluid :yikes:.

Worked for me :clap:.

 

[SpyderRx]

Just tell her you would lose too much money if you try to take it back!

 

[Kratos]

You want to do more long traveling (with her). And to spend more time with her and want her to be more included in your hobby than she already is. And the RT is the best way for you both to build your relationship "comfortably."

Yep RS cost me double when you count the ring on her finger "upgrade" and I ask all the time if she will park it next to the spyder

[jerpinoy]

Tell her do your best to fix old :spyder2: and keep praising your friends who own a 2013 RT. Be humble and less dictator. What about a very nice expensive diner and a diamond for her this coming mothers day? You can bring your idea of new :spyder2: by then. Good luck and let us know what work out?

 

[scooterexpress]

also point out that the rt is safer then the one you have now,you got to put her on it sitting in the back with backrest armrest cup holder music..this is when my wife said lets go sign the papers i'm sold.

 

[asp125]

does your wife lurk on this forum? :yikes:

 

[Jeriatric]

Another fella with a similar problem - choices!!

Kidding, of course.

:shocked: Oh man!! You are good... :bowdown::thumbup::bowdown::firstplace:

 

[PrairieSpyder]

As a woman, I can offer 2 thoughts:

1. Let her get really involved in the farkling. hyea:

2. Jewelry goes really well with Spyders. :dg2:
