ME: I'm getting to a point where I'm going to need a top end on the Harley.

HER: What does that mean?

ME: They take off the heads and barrels here and see if the cylinders, pistons or heads need some work. But, as long as I'm at it; I could change the the 107 to a 124 with a big bore kit. 

HER: How much is that?

ME: A couple of grand.

HER: That seems like a lot of money.

ME: Well, I'd actually be saving money. See, I already have the competition clutch, high output oil pump, so it'll actually be a couple of grand less.

HER: I appreciate your thinking that I'm a part of this decision-making process.

Me (after installing $650 shocks on the Harley and looking at parts on-line): I want to do the front end now, and while I'm going in, I might as well do the chrome lowers and ape hanger handle bars.

Her: I thought you said the bike was perfect when you bought it

Me: It was! Low miles, good price, great shape. Now it's time to upgrade and make it mine.

Her: How much will all that cost?

Me: Couple grand.

Her: WOW

Me: Wait until I upgrade the cam chest!

Her: I don't think I want to know what that is. How much?

Me: Couple grand.

Her: When do I get my kitchen?

 

She's getting it, she knows it. Seems my performance obsession with motors can be seen as selfish.

...looking at some high performance heads too...

Me: That's a nice outfit
Her: Oh I've had it for awhile

Me: How long have you had it

Her: Months

Me: But it's the first time you've worn it

Her: Yes, but I've had it for awhile

Me: OK, I'll order a new rig. They take months to arrive. I'll pay for it today so that once I get it I can say I bought it months ago.

Her: That's not how it works

Me: Nice outfit
