How To Convince Your Wife To Let You Have A Motorcycle

If you’ve always desired to have a motorcycle, and you happen to be married, then at some point you’ll be faced with persuading your wife to let you buy a motorcycle.

Riding is good for everyone!

Your wife’s arguments against you riding a motorcycle will center
on two subjects:

1) We cant afford it.
2) You’ll kill yourself.

The “We Cant Afford It” Argument
The “We Cant Afford It” argument is the simpler one to overcome. The reality is motorcycles are much less expensive to operate and keep up than autos are. They typically get much better gas mileage. And in a time when gas is rising above the $3.00 per gallon level, high gas mileage counts for a lot. Motorcycles are also generally less expensive to insure. And regular parts for motorcycles often cost less than for cars. And of course motorcycles themselves are much less expensive than automobiles, class for class. Even high end motorcycles like fully accessorized Harley Davidsons are much less expensive than high end sports cars or luxury cars. At this point in your rebuttal you don’t want to mention the expense of all the stylish leather jackets and bike accessories you want to get to really equip yourself with style.

The “You’ll Kill Yourself” Argument
Rebutting the “You’ll Kill Yourself” argument can be a little trickier. After all you’ll have to prove to your spouse that you’ll be an adept enough rider to steer clear of general road hazards, as well as smart enough not to do brain-less bike stunts. First point out that most motorcycle accidents are caused by the rider performing idiotic or foolish stunts, like weaving through traffic or pulling wheelies, and you certainly are adult and intelligent enough not to do that. (At least we presume!) Also you’ll be wearing proper protective outfits including a helmet, leathers, boots, and gloves. (Of course the cost of all this custom gear isn’t talked about during the previous “We Cant Afford It” argument.) Lastly you’ll want to mention the extraordinary maneuverability of a motorcycle and how that could in reality save your life by avoiding the crazies in front of you who do something stupid.

Sealing the Agreement
Once you have her wavering by overcoming, or at least nullifying, her main contentions, you’ll want to step in with the clinchers. Tell her how important it is to you to be able to relish pleasant stress-less rides through the countryside. In fact it’s something both of you might savor together. If your wife is really hot, at this stage you might want to consider how she would appear in those skimpy shorts and halter tops you’ve seen on the girls in biker calendars! If shes not really good looking, then just make it a point to pick a motorcycle with a comfy pillion seat for her, and don’t imagine what she’s wearing. As a closing point you can even point out that in the event you do kill yourself on the bike, not only will she be rich from the life insurance, but she’ll also be able to have “I told you so” inscribed on your tombstone. Most spouses can’t resist the offer of the last word!

A final and wonderful way to seal the deal with your wife is to get her a special tee shirt, hoodie, or accessory with your favorite motorcycle on it. Motorcycle Tees is a fabulous on-line store, catering to motorcyclists, that features unique motorcycle artwork on a wide variety of fine clothing, gifts and accessories. They have cruisers, sport bikes, and touring bikes in dozens of designs. So if you’re looking for something original for yourself or someone in your life that shows the world your favorite motorcycle with style and distinction, pay a visit to Motorcycle Tees. You’ll find yourself coming back again and again.
