Sure money is tight, and your significant other probably doesn't want you spending money on all the Harley stuff you love.

So just tell her or him that the proceeds go to charity and sign on to Harley-Davidson's co-sponsored auction to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The online auction began last Thursday and ends Sept. 4, and includes a whole bunch of pretty cool-looking stuff.
