"Wife says it's her or the bike"
I've seen that plenty of times, and it was part of the description in the Craig's ad for my Bonneville. I thought it was a snarky joke, until I showed up and the owner was apologizing that it wasn't ready yet. Seems his wife was so upset about the motorcycle that she had been using it as a drying rack. He was quickly pulling damp laundry off of it before he rolled it out onto his driveway for my inspection.
