Wife told me to buy a nice Ducati.

HardDrive · 06-10-2013, 06:07 PM

One of my wife's coworkers stopped by yesterday. He was driving a newer Multistrada 1200S. Beautiful bike. He left it in the driveway while they went out to lunch. I texted the guy thanking him for torturing me by leaving it in the driveway.

When I saw my wife later, I commented that I was Ducati-less at the moment, and was jealous of the guys bike. I had been looking at old Supersports and Monsters, but haven't pulled the trigger on anything. She said, "Why don't you get a nice bike like Michaels?" I told her that his bike was 3x the cost of the bikes I have been looking at. She said, "You've been working hard. Get something decent."

I find myself confused. Is there a contract out on my life? Has my wife gotten into the wacky tabacky?

I guess one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth......

DO IT FAST BEFORE SHE CHANGES HER MIND! Moments of female appreciation are few and far between.

She's a keeper, my ex wife told me I couldn't buy another bike and when she came home she found a brand new one in the bedroom. I don't miss her.

Lucky guy! My wife is mostly Irish. Last time she told me to treat myself, it was at a burger restaurant...

Is she staying late at the hospital more than normal?

Had one. Most beautiful bike I've ever owned. Also the most uncomfortable. Riding it was an absolute joy.....for about 10 minutes.

Multistrada is a great bike.

I can ask my wife if she's ready to part with this one. 1998 Monster 900 with 4074 miles.

I wouldn't waste much time looking for your next Ducati. Time to jump on this! There are very nice Hyper 1100s out there in the 7K-range. Intoxicating motor and comfy upright riding position. Great bikes.

Sounds like a go ahead to me. Enjoy...
