She has gone away for the weekend with the girls, which isn't very sensible, as she knows every-time I'm left alone I do something I shouldn't.

I went to my local Triumph dealer to do a bit of tyre-kicking and it turns out the salesman was an old school friend. He did me a very keen deal on this limited edition Bonneville Spirit:



I pick her up next Saturday. Cannot ****ing wait!

Now, my wife doesn't know anything about bikes, other than the fact she hates them all. Am I going to be able to ride this past her and she will mistake it for my matt black Ducati Monster? They are kind of similar, right? She may never have to know about this weekend and what I did when I was bored.

OP - is this a swap for the Monster or in addition? Even if your wife knows nothing about bikes I suspect she knows they don't breed!!

Additional. She hasn't ventured into the garage since we bought the house, and I can only ride one bike at a time, so I think I'm in with a shot.

That is stunning. I couldn't think of a nicer bike to take out for a sunny ride over the moors to grab a bite to eat in a beer garden.
And then the monster for when your feeling a bit sillier.

Enjoy it, make the first ride a big one because when she fins out you might not be able to sit down properly for a while.

my philosophy on this s that, if constantly you consistently let her down on things like this, she will stop giving a st at some point.

suck up the agro, have a pint of man the f**k up and enjoy :-)

Put her a new shelf up, or maybe buy a bunch of roses. That should compensate for wasting thousands on a pretty toy that you don't need.

She is a good looking bike alright. You can see why I did it. The second I walked in the showroom, I fell in love.

Wish I didn't have to wait a week to pick her up though!

If that turns out to be true then next weekend I'll spend the rest of our savings on a Panigale.

There is one upside to my other half's complete disinterest in bikes. "As long as your half of the bills are paid, I don't care what you spend your money on." Nice.
Though out of habit, I still try to justify future purchases to her.
"If I get THIS bike it means that.. and it's sensible because..."
"I don't care."

I see the problem here, you now need suggestions for what un sensible thing you need to do to cover the fact you've done something you shouldn't, she'll only get suspicious if you don't have something to show from a weekends boredom.
