I think I need a divorce..
My wife saw a pic of a 750 Indiana and said we should get one. "Nicer looking than an Elefant, and it would be nice to go cruising together, kind of like a Harley", she said.
Woman, I don't know who you are anymore! Call the Psych, call a Priest.
I see ol' El Diablo at work here..
[laugh]
[clap] [laugh] That's gold! Wait they came in gold..........
Tell Mrs Koko that it would be far to dangerous riding two-up on one as you would not be concentrating on the road but instead looking at every person and car in the vicinity making sure no one you know is watching... [laugh]
I don't know where she's getting the idea from. Actually, yes I do, the source is diabolical..
I explained to Mrs Koko that it would be very uncomfortable with the bone jarringly crap suspension on the Indiana that would cost big $$$ to fix. You would need Konis or Hagon out back (x2 of course) and a full rebuild of the front from what I've read and heard.
However the long travel suspension of the Elefant would be plush.
Scoober, when I see one, I just think "Spaghetti Western".
get her a ural
Hmm... Maybe an Indiana aint so bad. ;D
maybe one of these:

There's a retirement fund right there. :D
And a cruiser I'd own (if I had the money).
How many of them? One, two maybe?
That bike could have changed the world of motorcycling if the tyre technology of the time didn't conspire against it. [bang]

[roll] Get a grip man. I think you must've hurt your noggin' when you fell.
Any wife who says "we ought to get
any motorcycle" is a keeper [thumbsup]
If she likes the Italian "kinda like a Harley" machines.... maybe a Moto Morini is worth consideration?
Here's just the thing...

;D
I think I'm gonna be sick...
If she insists, I'll buy as many bikes as necessary. 8)

She's a keeper alright..(I'm punching above my weight). ;D
And that Morini is so wrong.

Yes.
It truly is.
Crazy Aussies...
Extra crazy after drinking homemade lemoncello. ;D
She's a keeper. Mine is mad because my 01 SSie is down and the 93 SL is running. She got upset when I turned the r90 into a cafe. That only leaves her with the 2 Harleys to ride on. Thank God she doesn't or won't get on the back of the xr400r. I do love riding 2 up with her. When she goes out to the garage and starts cleaning up one of the HD's I know it is go time. Sometimes she gets me out of the chores to go for a putt.

Good onya Dave [thumbsup].
Some of us have it tough ;)
I need to sell one of the cars and get a commuter bike (water cooled with a low slung exhaust preferably) so my wife suggests one of these..........

As this is what Mrs Scoob wants as her next bike!
I'd happily go the Indiana or the Morini!
Don't feel to bad. My girl wants to ride with me on her own bike. She wants this:

Apparently they are a lot of fun to ride and most importantly I won't have to worry so much about her hitting the ground. Best of all? She can carry all our crap! Those things have huge storage.
You'd shit yourself getting a glimpse of that in the rear view mirror. [laugh]

Remember, you're the head of the family! [laugh]
We slag the Indiana, but some bikes do make it look ok. The black 750 (and blacked out 650 prototype) look as good as some blacked out Sportsters.
