Never a problem - my bloody money
joint account, and I do the accounting, my credit card and I pay the bills
plus dragon's spent more on unsuitable bikes and grown out of more gear than I have
(I think)

I haven't bought that much for the bike, and Mrs. Viking doesn't really give a stuff how much I spend on it. It's my money, after all.
Having said that, it's best to tell your partner where the money is going. You know, marital peace and bliss and all that.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I tend to fund my bike mods from my expenses claims rather than the household income pot.

With the short patch of sunshine yesterday I made the mistake in sitting on a new bike at the local dealership ...So do you think I can slide the price of a v-rod through on the houskeeping?

Have you had major problems with your v-rod then D-rider? Please let me know if there is anything I should be looking out for on them.

The guy in the dealership didnt flinch too badly when Boss wanted to know if he could fit a sidecar to it - more stability wheb farrowing, he did look more concerned when I said the new Buell needed ape hangers on

Yeah - looked at one once and found it induced nausea.
Also there seems to be an issue with the badge on the tank .... a clear example of counterfeit goods - agricultural machinery purporting to be a motorcycle ... don't let the porsche influenced engine fool you either ....
