    Sick of Seeing "Wife Says Must Sell" !!!!

    In the past month month I 've seen too many ads for three wheelers on ebay saying "wife says must sell". Currently an 84 tecate and 85 250R list that reason as of today. If that was the case for me I take a picture of my wife and post her on ebay saying "my trike says I must sell" need to buy a new wife. I just had to get that out sorry for venting.

    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    I hear you but.....

    Are you married? he he he

    Sometimes those statements are true.
    Most times, they're just a bogus excuse.

    In my case, it was true.....I had an R and a 350X in the garage as well as two more trikes.
    One of the "hot rod" (as the wife says) trikes had to go.
    It was a painful decision but I kept the R.
    Yes, momma pushed me to do it....now I'm thankful for it because I can concentrate my efforts (and funds) on ONE trike.

    Well I have to say, my wife is super awesome and very understanding. I dont think she would ever say that to me, to make me sell mine. She would leave it up to me, but times change and things change. Sometimes you have to give to receive. I think my wife is way more important than some worldly 3 wheeler. If she is truely the love of your life, then she means more than any worldly possession. Plus you can also get another trike, when the time is right............peace

    Not married yet but have lived with the same person for years so i might as well be at times. I think shes happy I'm chasing machines not other women If it works out for someone great but if its in your gut that you don't want to get rid of something i say fight. I sold my 92 six speed corvette 5 years ago on my own decision to buy a new Durango so I could reliably commute during the harsh winters to my job. I think that car once or twice a week five years later. From experience I say keep those dream machines!!

    Like I said PH makes his own decisions about his own possesions. If you don't want one of my trikes taking up space in the garage be prepared to see M.r. Big Red when you wake up in the morning!

    Just trying to have a little humor with this post. If its taken seriously it can hit some nerves. I guess the timing is also on the heels of me overhearing a woman at work saying how she came home to her son and father out in the yard. The son was driving a used little quad the father surprised him with. He was laughing and smiling from ear to ear (had helmet). She had words with her husband about the danger and in two days went out to the garage inconspiculously puntured a tire and cut and hid a wire rendering it useless. She was bragging how she got him. The quad has since been sold. So thats fresh in my mind also.

    That's why trikes are better than wives.
    If you get bored riding your trike, your friend will very likely let you try his out.

    I was telling my 13-yr-old son the other day about a buddy selling his trike.
    "Why would he sell it?" he asked me.
    "Well," I said, "he lost his job and has to feed his kids."
    My boy just snorted.
    "If I was him, I'd sell the kids and keep the trike," he said.

    Ah, if only life were that simple . . . .

    You guys must have no clue about dealing with women! Rule number 1 - Whenever you make any major decision, always make her think its her idea! I think this guy wants to sell his trike, and is scoring a double bonus on the deal by publically stating that his wife is boss. This way, he not only gets additional sympathy bids and a better price on his trike, but his wife actually thinks she is in control, and he will be rewarded at home for months. This guy is probably a diabolical scheming genius.

    Women are nice and so are toys. The thing to remember is they are all replacable. New year, new model, new fun. I personally wouldn't sell it if she told me too but I don't listen to well to my girlfriend. Bought 3 trikes in the last month and she had something to say about everyone. LOL Now they are taking up her parking space.
