I've gone and bought another one and I don't feel ashamed at all. I feel like a kid in a lolly shop sometimes when I see a 185, I just have to have it and besides, I didn't have a 72 tank. :o
Now the hard part of slotting it in next to the collection but the worst bit is, she oh so short and cute and cranky can count.
This time, after hiding a spare frame behind the pump shed, I am going to plead its a new build from all the parts I have even though the racks still look just as full as before. 8)
How do you guys slip another bike in without the minister of fun finding out and subsequently rationing all that you hold in wonder? ::)
-
Your biggest mistake is/was to let her out of the kitchen.....have a total shed rearrange and that will stuff her up......or, "it's a mate's bike that I'm just looking after"....LOL.
-
Just put different race numbers on new acquisitions
Therefore they become " I'm just storing a mates bike He's renovating "
-
My shed full of spiders and possum droppings-problem solved
-
I recently agreed with the wife to borrow for a swimming pool and deck (which I would build). This drawndown on the loan money was to pay for an ebay bought rmz450 - to motivate me to work all those weekends. I had an instinct she'd be sweet with that and she was.
Its all in the timing.
-
I just tell her..im buying a new bike wether you like it or not!! then I wake up ;D
-
Yes, im an addict...
She fell in love with you because of the Man you are...
never stop being that man... ;)
-
You both need expensive hobbies, that way no one can point an accusing finger at the other. :)
Works for me.
cheers,
Michael

When I actually start putting the bikes together that I have in boxes and she can actually see the completed bikes, the plan is to sooth her with diamond jewellery 8) Well, that's the plan anyway...

Give up.
All above are just fundamentally deluding themselves that they can understand the femme thought processes. :o
-
I must be doing something wrong. I get nervous telling her the parts I bought on ebay have finally arrived from the states. Giving her two glasses of shiraz first seems to take the edge off the parts but a whole bike is another issue entirely.
If only the bikes were falcon GTHO's and I could say its for our retirement fund.

Shane don't undersell the mighty TS 185 mate ;) its just lucky for us that we are visionaries' and have got in on the TS 185 action at ground level before the rest of the world realises and the values sky rocket ;D

LMAO Bill. The surgeon at work hangover and all. I hope your right mate. catch up with you next your over this side of the ditch.
If anyone would know about an addiction it would be you Tim. Playing with single cylinders in the dirt is crazy enough but 4 of them at the same time is just compounding the issue.
-
Just tell her your minding it for a mate, cause if his misses found out he bought another bike she would hit the roof.

"Just tell her your minding it for a mate, cause if his misses found out he bought another bike she would hit the roof."
Until your lady asks his lady what are the boys doing with their " useless shed crap".
Then the depth of shit your hopelessly wading blindly around in, grows exponentially.....

I have be addicted to vmx since 1990, and I am slowly weaning myself away from it. it can take over life, I just say its been there all the time, you just didn`t notice it, I also that my wife likes me to have vintage bikes.
-
.........never keep receipts................
-
Get your ebay purchases sent to work,and make sure your bikes are the same colour ie brand and just rotate them every three months between your shed and where you hide them at a friends place.
-
Luckily I have a very supportive Girlfriend that likes the Vintage dirt bike scene.
She even suggested I buy my latest bike which is on a ship sitting halfway between Australia and the US
at this very moment ;D

Surgery on a RM125S in the dirt, the poor little thing! Hopefully Stewy (Oldfart) looking on intently may have helped?

I also have a very understanding wife which is fortunate as she does all the banking, the only cash I get is from the odd welding or machining job for the local bike shop. Luckily, she thinks I know what I am doing and readily accepts any newcomers to the shed. She also doesn't care how much workshop equipment I buy - definitely a keeper ;D

All is good in my house. I have my addiction(s) in the shed and even 2 mini Xr's in the hallway. She fell in love with house, I wanted the shed, so it was all organised from the start that what is in the shed is my business and what is in the house is OUR business ::)
-
try and see things her way ! stare out the kitchen window for a while ;D
I am very lucky my wife and I have a Mormon type relationship with bikes ( like another wife it is ok) but race cars are like having a mistress!!!
