2018 EX blue

[baxtercat_imp]

baxtercat, that's a ridiculous compromise. That's not what marriages are about. For $850, she can do the compromising. For that kind of money—roughly 25% of the value of a '13 CB1100—she can live with your bike being red. Now, if it's her bike, okay, fine, but if it's your bike, making you spend $850 to switch to blue is wildly unreasonable of her.

Want to compromise? Keep the red tank and take half of that $850 and take her out for a nice dinner/show/shopping somewhere.

Man, the things we read on these interwebs....

thanks for the advice, VLJ, but my wink-of-the-eye was lost in transmission. I LOVE the blue, and would want to update the color thusly without regard for anyone else's opinion. It's merely convenient that she also prefers it, and I can proceed as if I'm doing her a big favor. so...no compromise, no unreasonableness, and no immediate need for a nice dinner. will take that money I just saved and put it towards a tank.
