I explained everything to her tonight over the phone. I've been watching this bike since they were introduced. I told her that I have saved money for this for two years (that is the truth).
She was concerned that it was going to affect our new construction. I told her it was not. I personally think she was more upset about the fact that it was sitting there for two days and she never noticed it.
I did explain how little it cost and why I pulled the trigger when I did. I never hide anything from her. I just do it and see how long it takes her to figure it out.
It's all good. I would never go out and drop 20K on a new BMW GS1200 Adventure and not tell her. That is a whole different ball game.
