Anyone else try to hide or purchase something moto without the wife knowing?
So I get a text yesterday from my wife (Oh By The Way I Found Your Hidden Bike) that she found my hidden new bike while I was out playing with the guys driving our RC rock crawlers and drinking beer. I had a bunch blankets covering it. I was trying to sell my older bike first, but came across the bike I wanted first so I tried to hide the new one until I sold the old one to justify my new purchase. I knew she would want me to sell the old bike first. Well I got caught and no damage control necessary, turns out she didn't care (so she says), but the things we do too keep the wife happy and feel guilty when buying our guilty pleasures.
Another time, in 2001, I walk out of a dealership with a new KX250 and brought it home showing my friends and bragging, there she drives up in the driveway in disbelief.. We planned on upgrading her vehicle so when she saw I bought a toy for my self first, it was an awkward silence in the garage. It all worked out, went out and bought her the 4 runner she wanted in the next week. Just bad timing in the order of events.
It not that I could not afford these things, I just feel so guilty spending money on myself sometimes when you have a wife and 2 kids.
Got a story, please share, I know some of you have done this!
