How do I convince my wife so I can buy a motorcyle (because of the high gas prices)?
 

When we were dating I rode a motorcycle, I traded it in for a pick up truck.

no need to convince her then. Do what I did and just buy one. lol they will accept it. Or if you want to be nice show her some motorcycles and ask for her opinion. Its not like if your really going to take her opinion into account, but your discreetly letting her know you want one.

luckily I'm not married :-) and going in for the deal very soon, hopefully... although my mom wouldn't approve. but it just my big passion

well...why don't you try finding data that proves that motorcycles are gas efficient...and kiss her butt

easy say I want you to hug me on the back of the bike like the old days.















She'll be like aww ur so sweet and you get ur bike.

Your wife knows you better than you think she does. If you need to "convince" her, then she thinks your gas mileage argument is rationalization and that you really just want a motorcycle. And she's probably right. Admit it. :)
