Wifey "trying" to make me sell one or the other of my two moto's! BMW K1200LT or the Valkyrie. Been riding the Valk a lot lately and rode the BMW today and I gotta say that both are "great" bikes. The Beemer is so quiet, swift and sporty and the Valk is so manly and brute beastie! Don't think I can part with either one at the moment. Maybe I can wait her out and she will just give up! LoL Don't really have room for two bikes but they both seem to be doing well under the fold up canopy. (Hope no hurricanes come by though.) So many life changing decisions to consider. LoL Ow, ow I just thought of something else. "Why not get rid of the wifey?" Well that's another life changing decision isn't it?   |

Which bike draws a crowd? Which bike gets more compliments? Which bike gets noticed? Which bike has more soul? Which bike moves your soul? There's your answer. Then again, how many miles are on the wife.  |

Just hide one over at a buddy's house.
OR, when you list one for sale, price it so high no one calls. Hey, I'm tryin babe.
I once had five bikes at my place, with no garage. (now just two valks)
IMHO, two is just the right number.

Ron, don't get rid of the wife. That often becomes more expensive than keeping both bikes.  As for which bike to unload, nobody can make that decision but you. You bought the Valk for a reason, apparently the Beemer doesn't fill certain desires. |

Hey 98pacecar! But we've been together so many years in a loving relationship! How can I let moto's come between us? OK, I've thought about it. "SHE'S OUT OF HERE!" I'll go get the front end loader and a bus ticket. LoL  |

Ron, does your wife like to ride the bikes with you? If yes, then which one is she more comfortable on? If mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy.

No she doesn't ride. You could actually say she's always been a motocycle hater. |

I'm in the same spot you are in. My wife doesn't ride or care for bikes at all. I have 2 Valk's and a ST1300 and my wife wants me to sell one bike. It will be one of the Valk's. |
