Not bikes, but, my "handle" comes from the 1975 Fender Stratocaster I bought new in, well, 1975. 8)

My ex wife didn't like me playing in a band, so I stopped. Didn't get a bike until the girl I was living with cleared off. :evil:

Now I can ride my Storm, or my TDM, or play my Strat as loud as I like, whenever I want! :twisted:

Just need to find a bike riding, blues liking woman with GSOH. Ooops, sorry - wrong site.......... :lol:
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

Can't understand the "Its me or the bike thing"....Surely they can't be jealous :?
I'm lucky that my wife is 'understanding' (at least to some extent) but I do test her patience sometimes :lol:

Well, Miss Minogue is from Oz, so that has to be a plus. :lol:

Dame Edna is as well, so that would be a minus :(

She would also have to like lager and barbies - , but that's everyone there isn't it :?: :lol:

(NObody says "lager" over here),
Over here, beer, or ale, tends to be traditional Bitter or Mild, much beloved of men with beards and a belly. I've never seen Bitter or Mild anywhere else - some countries have a dark beer but thats about it.

Lager means "stored" in German dontcha know?

For me and the wife, the deal was- I get back into biking after a 10 year gap, and she gets back into horses. I agreed, 5 years later I've swapped my bike 4 times, and the bl**dy horse is still costing me more cash 8O Now I've had to buy the daughter one tooo! I should sell them both and buy another storm and I'd still have change :wink:

Good thinking :D
How much can you get for a wife and a daughter these days? Would you get more selling them as a matched pair or would you brake them up and sell em individually?

Thats a good question, probably sell them as a job lot with the nags, then me and the boys could make the house into a batchalor pad and I could keep all my new bikes in the dinning room :D (have to go wifes just walked in :oops: )

Same for me Sparrowlegs, me and my partner both had an interest in Bikes when we were younger, so we both decided to do our CBTs and tests together. We are both very lucky to have found each other.

She's a better rider than me though :evil: she kicks ass on her TDM 900, I can't keep up with her on the bends. :oops:
