Since getting my Speedmaster I have become one of those annoying people that can't shut up about it. My mate's see me coming and just roll their eye's and seem to be trying to hide. I just can't get enough of my new toy. Have also spent a small fortune on bits and piece's that the wife don't know about. I just keep going on about it.

This is one place where you can go on and on about your bike without driving anyone away. And you can also get that guilt off your chest about spending money without the wife knowing. Aren't you glad you found this place?  
Live to love, love to live.

Cool thumper, hack chop bob. That can be one sweet ride. Bob that bugger out and it will be cooler than your trump.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I am glad your having a great time with you bike. I do think the Mrs. would be tickled if you got her something for that thumper. Is she bunny girl? Then a skin of THumper would be very cool. Maybe ask her if she wants some shadowing done? It could get some tank stripes and well something like this but heck it would be the oppisite http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Cust...electedIndex=29 . OH and while Im telling you how to pimp the wifes bike, LOLOLOL  Maybe black it out like in the pic but with some black chrome instead of the over used flat black? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgPww0qRxuo (and for making it look a bit meaner, scrap that stock sliencer ( you lost yours on the Trumpet didnt ya?  ) put on something leaner, like this http://www.jpcycles.com/product/4500108 or there are some other cool ones on there. Wrap that header pipe, do the airbox mods and get a UNI inbox for her, shim and jet that single carb. Uncork that thumper and she will be ready to rock! And give you a run for your money  ) Im real good at spending someone elses money! LOLOLOL CHEERS

Actually she already has thumper- Her name is Penelope.   She actually doesn't want any mods done to the bike, just happy to ride it as is. She has MS so who knows how long she will be able to ride for- so is making the most of it. But enough of this I seem not to have mentioned my bike for several posts!! It came with the short TORs. Thinking about new rear shocks at the moment- but the budget just ain't there.

That was taken about 6 months ago- even bigger now. Do you have any idea how much that thing can eat?

My SO has a sweet black Bonneville, that's she is forbidden to ever sell, and a KLR. She can get any other bike she wants (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) but she's gotta give me the Bonnie if she does.
She looks through eBay for cool bikes 3 or 4 nights a week.
Having a wife as a riding buddy, as I'm sure you've found, is a Godsend.

Wow Im sorry to heat that. My Uncle had MS also. Well it was fun looking it all up for ya LOLOL.
Man what kind of Wabbit is that? looks like a cuddly one too.
Hey since she wants no mods, you culd put that thumper patch on her riding jacket and im betting she already has a rabbit nickname you could have put under it. now that would be a cool present.

The Rabbit is a Flemish Giant. As to the MS- well thats just life, you get on and make the most of it. As I often tell her, my plan of marrying much younger than my self so that I could have someone look after me in my old age sure backfired on me.
