Slick, you are not the bad guy here, the wife is. Why do you have to choose? You went to war, you've worked hard all your life. You have made compromises all your life why should you have to choose? You have every right in the world to wear a man's garment. If your wife has a problem with you wearing a kilt then I suggest that she be the one to deal with it. My wife is not overly enthused with me being kilted but honestly it is her problem not mine. I support my wife's interests. Now Mrs. McVarmit said that if you gave up kilts that she would buy you a Sportster, I say if you buy the Sportster then you can keep the kilts (and get a new shooting iron to celebrate your compromise). A new bike will be a big expenditure kilts will not be (unless you buy more).
Failing this, hold out for a 1953 Vincent C series Rapide or Black Shadow. I see you on a Vincent.

Wait the compromise is this:
You won't ride your new Sporty kilted!
