BIGUN 1,229 #1 Posted May 12, 2023 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. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell her you are thinking of buying an aircraft, after that sinks in the bike will seem like small change. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 715 #5 May 13, 2023 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... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billeisele 129 #8 May 15, 2023 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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
