Your best line.
I'm trying to talk the wife into and help her understand why I need a new scoot. I've been looking at a 2007 Harley Street Bob. Anybody have one? Anyway, I need your best line you use on the wife to justify a purchase. I know some of you out there are going to say "Just buy it". yada yada. If it's anything less than a 1k then yhea, I do just buy it. But we're talking $15,000.00 here. Help a brother out. Just give me your best "But Honey....." line.

Nothing quite hits me as being anything you should say....I too am not a big fan of them (because too many loved people I know have been killed on them.) If she says no...and NO....then....HECK NO....you know she loves you that much! 0 -

Harleys vibrate so much you can toss your silver bullet in the garbage and get on 0 -
Tell her you "won" it on a GB giveaway. My father-in-law was always bringing guns home and told my mother-in-law that he always won them at raffles at work. 0 -

She already gets those. Not once a week, but I think once a month or every 6 weeks.0 -

Mine made a point of separating our finances. So I can't spend her cash and she has nothing to say about what I do with mine. She can't spend mine either, unless I explicitly give it to her
Who's cash are you spending? Yours alone, your combined cash (you and your wife) or your wife's?
If the household money is split equally both in terms of income and expenditure, then your only recourse might be to take the bike as your total takings for the next X length of time, where X is determined by your household income.
In my opinion, you should work to make it fair for both of you. Maybe you get the bike and nothing else for a couple years. Maybe you make all of the money anyway, so you deserve the bike. Maybe you both make pretty good money so you get the bike and she gets whatever will turn her crank.
It makes more sense to me for you to figure out the compromise than for you to try and figure out the good 'line.' I never was very good at making the 'lines' though, so maybe I'm wrong on that.
Anyway, good luck.0
