storm6490 2,768 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Months ago, I showed my wife a photo of a beautiful A. N. Harley on the local Craigslist. I'm picky about the design of things and it just looked beautiful. She laughed at me and said we couldn't afford it with the kids and all. I totally forgot about it. A few months later and on my birthday, she packs my garage with my friends and this nice old 87 fxr. I came home after a long day of work and was happy to see the kids. She had me get some soda out of the garage and BOOM! Surprise! Think I will keep the old lady around for a little while longer! 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

storm6490 2,768 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Is that one of them bowling ball Harleys? Nope. That was 67-81. I had a 69 xlch and it was a fun bike. Nothing all that bad about some of the AMF bikes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Mark 2,452 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Bravo to you and your lady stryker. Perhaps a King and Queen seat is in order on that Harley. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MT Predator 2,294 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Nice, now get some tires studded up for it so you can ride it some more up there! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Dammit man, now that is first class. Now she has you by the balls, you can't deny her anything. Yep. If your life wasn't over before this, it is now. Nice bike. That'll turn a few heads. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigtwin 219 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Is that one of them bowling ball Harleys? Nope. That was 67-81. I had a 69 xlch and it was a fun bike. Nothing all that bad about some of the AMF bikes. She is defiantly a keeper! I too have an XLCH 1973(my first Harley), it is sitting on my motorcycle hoist awaiting a customization(rigid frame), in the mean time I ride a 1998 Electragide around the states and love it! The AMF years had some issues, but were still fine bikes! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
storm6490 2,768 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks for all the nice comments, I do believe she has me by the balls! I don't think I'll be putting a new seat on as she doesn't want a ride on it anyway. Not sure if I will ever be able to top her on gifts. This was unexpected and amazing! It's going to be a long, lo g winter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm not a harley guy, but that does look good. I feel that winter motorcycle itch too. Only thing you need is another bike beside it for her to come with you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sobrenegade 795 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I can see what I won't be getting for Christmas. Both are beauties, Stryker. Your wife is a real keeper and the bike is icing. I'd consider myself fortunate to have either. Glad you got them both. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Venia 249 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm happy for you that you and your wife are tight like that....fucking priceless! God Bless & enjoy that new bike, it looks tough! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
