    I've done some shopping for the bike today. ASV levers, R & G fork protectors and radiator guard. Gonna let the kids get me the R & G aero crash protectors for xmas and the missus can get me a Healtech gear indicator. Just hope she doesn't notice the difference when I fit them. ;)

    I must admit I'm extremely lucky in not having to consult the Wifey over purchases in the 'Toy Dept' [​IMG]

    Didn't you hide the track bike!? Lol

    I'm similar... She never moans, I just don't always disclose all purchases, as then I don't run the risk of having to take her shopping to 'balance the books' lol....

    I got my misses to buy my levers. I bought her some Honda racegloves at the show. It all worked out rather well I thought :D

    Fortunately being in the trade I get a lot of 'freebies' or ridiculous discounts :D

    Last week out of the blue my other half said to me " I am not your missus, we are not married". Puzzled because there had been no conversation to warrant this exclamation I asked her why she said it. Her reply sent shivers down my spine " You referred to me as your Missus on one of your posts on the Fireblade forum ".

    Apparently she has frequented the site a few times to see what I had purchased..... I mean posted.

    So from now on any mods may never get a mention in my posts.

    That's what I love about mods on a bike

    Ohlins rear shock or standard shock - mrs no idea just a chunk of yellow metal

    Power commander 5 - hidden under the seat

    QS- wouldn't know it was there

    Slicks tyre - just tyres to the mrs

    Sds dual carbon brake pads-hidden

    Yoshi exhaust - just part of the bike to the mrs

    The list goes on

    The bit that caught me out was buying another bike and staying logged on to my eBay account she found a lot out with that mistake . :D
