GigaWhiskey Posted May 9, 2008 #1 Posted May 9, 2008 I have no idea what to get the ole lady or do for her for Mothers Day. What have or will you do for your honey? She wants a motorcycle but not any close enough for what I would spend.

sarges46 Posted May 9, 2008 #4 Posted May 9, 2008 Well, since Marilyn already has a bike I bought her drivers floor boards. Nothing mushy about those but its what she has hinted at for awhile now. Put on passenger floor boards two weeks ago as a neccessaty as our kids shoes where getting melted on the pipe. Almost out of things to get for her bike....i suppose I can find some other chrome do dads over the summer though. Getting your wife a bike would be awesome....expensive but then she is probably worth it.
Switch Posted May 9, 2008 #7 Posted May 9, 2008 I know my wife works hard over a desk and computer for hours on end so I got her an hour gift certificate for a massage. She loves massages as it keeps her shoulder muscles from being so tensed up all the time.
Poledar Posted May 9, 2008 #8 Posted May 9, 2008 Show her how much you think of her. Get an oil change on the bike so it doesn't fail while she is riding back seat and have to push you to the service shop! (Some flowers might help too!!!!)
Squidley Posted May 9, 2008 #9 Posted May 9, 2008 Your really leaving us kinda blind here GW Is she a high maintenance type that expects roses and a fancy dinner, or can you pawn the kids off and perhaps take her out for a picnic on the bike...just the 2 of you
GigaWhiskey Posted May 9, 2008 Author #10 Posted May 9, 2008 Not high maintenance for sure. I like the second option and she would go for that but the only babysitter we have is her mother. Not sure if I could swing that one.
RedRider Posted May 9, 2008 #11 Posted May 9, 2008 Get a digital picture frame and load it with pictures of the bikes you would buy her if you weren't so cheap. You could throw some pics of you and the kids on there too just to keep it in the Mother's Day spirit. Have a great weekend. RR
Cinderella Posted May 9, 2008 #12 Posted May 9, 2008 Mr. Squid........I applaud you...now thats my kind of thinking...... I think we need to start a tech section for you to teach some of these boys the things that a lady would appreciate and make her happy..I will send hubby as your first student....:rasberry: Lonna sure has done a great job of training you !!!!:whistling:
MamaMo Posted May 10, 2008 #13 Posted May 10, 2008 Already know what I got. FrogMan got me a Hot Pink Sandisk Sansa Clip 2gb mp3. I can listen to it walking, on the bike, or in my truck. Love it. Already had the FM modular. Like the picnic and massage ideas too. Flowers or things for the yard, and jewerly also works. Don't forget to take her out to eat so that she doesn't have to cook. Hire a maid for a day etc. A night for just the two of you. Since most of us don't get to spend as much time as we need together. Hope this helps.
eagleeye Posted May 10, 2008 #14 Posted May 10, 2008 Man, you guys are real romantics:crackup: Sarge---------floorboards? Rocket-----scale model of a bike? Salty Dog--------Cash? Poldar---Oil change? Red Rider--------digital picture frame with pics of the bike you'd get her if you weren't so cheap? Spuid---------At least you have got it sort of figured out:smile5: You guys crack me up:big-grin-emoticon: Steve
cmiles3 Posted May 10, 2008 #15 Posted May 10, 2008 A couple of years ago, I surprised Amy with a scooter on her birthday. 125cc, 60mph top end. She got to pick it out, I took her to the shop and she sat on them all and picked out the one she wanted; not the one I would have chosen. Now she won't ride on the back of the Venture. So, if you see an orange scooter rolling down the road, followed by a blue Venture, honk or wave.
Animal Posted May 11, 2008 #16 Posted May 11, 2008 A trip to the spa. (while she's there you can get in some solo milage)
Rocket Posted May 11, 2008 #17 Posted May 11, 2008 Man, you guys are real romantics:crackup: Rocket-----scale model of a bike? Steve Hey, it keeps him within budget. He didn't specify, that it had to be ridable...........
Marcarl Posted May 11, 2008 #18 Posted May 11, 2008 She's not my mother, I'm waiting for 'wifeday', then maybe,,,,, Now why did I say that???????
Freebird Posted May 11, 2008 #19 Posted May 11, 2008 My wife seldom wants much of anything but this year she wanted a Gazebo out by the pond. We went Friday evening and she picked one out. I put it all together yesterday. She loves it.

GigaWhiskey Posted May 11, 2008 Author #21 Posted May 11, 2008 Well, we looked yesterday for a bike but could not find anything that we could afford. Money is a little tight when it comes to large dollar items. The 2k a month daycare bill makes it tough. We did come to a compromise that was kewl on both sides. She knows I want an iPhone and that I am waiting for the 2nd gen to come out. When that happens, I get my iPhone and we switch to AT&T, I get to buy a new phone for her. We are going to look for a bike for her still, not trying to be cheap, just knowing that we can only spend so much - do not want to buy one on credit. I still may pickup a scaled down one for her anyway, that is still a kewl idea.
muffinman Posted May 11, 2008 #22 Posted May 11, 2008 I took friday off and got Mini on the back of her bike and we went for a 700+ mile ride I used the excuse of our daughter was graduating from college.then this morning I got up and made her breakfast. You may not be able to do this but it was a nice time for us seeing as we dont get alot of time together anymore with me working away from home. Jeff
