Maybe you should just get a Goldwing.  I bet she would like that.

well that will do it.

i have the same problem Tad MC im coming up on a bike upgrade in June, hopefully to a GS and the girlfriend is been a right arse about it to be honest. She says i should get her a car so i can drive her around. At the moment she is doing her car license and actually has a car of her own insured and everything which her parents bought for her and is going to pass in June so whats the f'ing point if she can drive her bloody self. So as a compramise i said il have a bike and learn to drive and drive her car  She didnt like that. But at the end of the day she doesn't have a good argument for me to spend money on buying a car so il get a new bike.

In your situation i agree you should keep the GS, buy another cage, then you get the best of both worlds. When shes a physician you can sell the GS and upgrade. Thus meaning you keep her happy because you didn't spend money on a new bike, just on the car you may or may not need. And you get to keep riding until she buys you a shiney new bike

Pablo has the CBR, and now so does rougegeek. John has (or has had) a Z1000. Srinath has who knows what. Yamahonkawazuki has a Harley (of all things!) fettcols has a Harley too, now.

Whoa whoa whoa. Big difference here. I'm not ever giving up my GS. Don't forget to pack your nuts under the seat when you sell the GS, Tad. You wont be needing those anymore.

Keeping the motorcycle as back-up transportation to the two cars would be more feasable and economical.  Expecially with gas prices rising.

If her car broke down, then she would use your car, and you'd use the bike.  If your car breaks down, you have the bike, and she still has her car.

Selling this bike at a loss, and buying another one later will cost you more in the long run.

Someone had to say it...

Your wife sounds like a... uh...  Mean person.


If she's not into bikes, that's fine...  But, you're allowed to have your own interests.
