When your wife demands that you choose between her and a Harley Davidson motorcycle, many of us would just sell the bike and settle down.

But one man had a different idea. He decided to post a Craigslist advert, inviting punters to make offers on either his wife or his beloved motorcycle.

Known only as Bob, he even provides a blow-by-blow comparison between the two.

The businessman boasts his Sportster 2006 XL1200L is in excellent condition. Meanwhile, he claims his wife is a ‘1959 model’ who is in pretty good nick, ‘considering’.


He shows pictures of the spotless bike and describes it as ‘well maintained’. Standing next to it is his loved one, who is described as ‘high maintenance’ as she smiles to the camera in an opulent coat.

And although the Sportster is great for beginners or seasoned riders, he warns that his wife is ‘the expert’s only model’.

He has an asking price of $5,900, but insists he’s open-minded about trades and offers a little lower than his target. Pick-up and delivery service is also available for lucky bidders in the state of Virginia.
