I know it sounds like the title of a country and western single but I thought that this would be a perfect chance to slip a new bit of carbon into the garage and pretend it's always been there. What would you do? :wink:

    Hell yes get the bike. I wouldnt pretend that it had always been there though. When questioned I would ask how her trip of thousands of miles to a dead blokes house was.

    Im obviously not married :P .

    Look at it this way - 'What would Elvis have done? Well he had a garage full of Cadillacs ('there wasn't one Lincoln, there wasn't one Dodge - John Hiatt) so you would be doing the right thing in having another bike. You could even call your bike storage The Jungle Room which was Elvis' 'den' in G-land. just get some leopard print, some velour and a couple of cheeseburgers and you are set :D

    If she's spent the wad on a trip to Graceland I would be DEFINITELY looking at some carbon - and as its a one-off chance, get what you really want NOW....

    Depends, does she have a SUSPICIOUS MIND, you don't want her to come home throw you out and you end up IN THE GETTO have to turn to crime to feed your carbon needs and end up doing THE JAILHOUSE ROCK so probably best if you DONT BE CRUEL as she would be ALL SHOOK UP.

    Instead why not discuss it first and she will realise that you CANT HELP FALLING IN LOVE so DO IT MY WAY and and if she is not a HARD HEADED WOMAN you never know she may even let you get some BLUE SUEDE (SPD) SHOES

    You asked this question on a bike forum???

    Who are you kidding, you have already decided on the bike and the build down to the colour coordinated bottles your going to order with it - you just looking for justification. Job done. Get the bike.

    I don't know about a new bike - if my wife went to Gracelands , I'd get a new wife.
