Wife or the bike?

[Gremlin]

Easy for me... I'm single, so any potential girlfriend has to understand bikes are important to me... Just another item in the list for finding a match...

[george formby]

you could combine em

You can get ape hangers for the whole Easy rider experience.

It's always nice the trade in the old model for a new one, the one with firmer shocks and better curves

I don't mind a bit of front end wobble, if you know what I mean!

Nothing comes between me and my wife esp when she is on the back of my bike!

Sorry but the computer ran out of bandwidth after the first few hundred pages. Otherwise I would have added it to the list.

If you were given the dreaded task of choosing between your wife/husband/partner or your beloved bike, which would you choose and why?

Id chose the bike.
people who think they are going to make ultimatums are not welcome in my life and can fuck right off. I am who I am, biking is a big part of me, accept it or hit the road.

[Subike]

Have to be the bike, no contest.
Both wives arrived after the bikes
Both wives tried to make me sell the bike
both wives are now trying to change some other fella
I still have a bike
I win
twice

Asked the same question to my wife around 10 years ago if I could bring my new MX Bike into the house ...she said 'you make the call but it's gonna be Bike in the house and I'm gone or, leave it out and I'll stay '

It was'nt the perfect marriage ...


She was gone about 2 weeks later

I prefer tits and vaginas over headlights and sooty exhaust pipes, so Id keep my Missus.

But having met some of your guys wives, I understand where you are coming from.

Wife suggested I get a bike. Win.

[onearmedbandit]

Would never allow myself to be in that position. Any girl in my life will know how important biking is to me.

[Big Dave]

Tsk. Kids today.

If you would even consider it a choice - you picked the wrong partner.

Or did you swear a solemn oath to the vehicle?

Reasons Why My Bike is Better Than a Woman



1. My bike never complains that I don't take it out as often as it would like.
2. My bike doesn't mind if I take my friend's bike for a ride.
3. My bike is always ready for action.
4. If something is wrong with my bike, it will give me some type of clue.
5. While my bike does require some amount of maintenance, it's not nearly as much maintenance as a wife requires.
6. I don't need to continually try to impress my bike.
7. My bike doesn't mind when I suggest getting some new parts to make it sportier.
8. My bike doesn't ever make me watch American Idol or Dancing With Washed-Up Has-Beens.
9. My bike has 64 nipples. (That is the actual term for the little pieces that secure the spokes to the rim. What were YOU thinking of? Shame on you.)
10. In 15 years my bike will still weigh the same as it does today.
11. My bike doesn't try on six sets of tires in front of the mirror before we go out.
12. My bike doesn't argue with me when I say it's beautiful.
13. My bike doesn't expect me to throw a tickertape parade for it down Main Street on it's birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas, our anniversary, New Year's, Arbor Day, Yom Kippur, Thursdays, each day of Lent, etc.
14. It's wheels may sometimes be "out of true", but my bike has never lied to me.
15. My bike never has a headache.
16. My bike likes to roll around in the mud.
17. Although I've spent more money on my bike than I care to admit and it has still broken down and left me stranded many miles from home on more than one occasion, my bike is still more reliable and faithful than any girl.


Guess it'd be bike then, but it's not a choice i need to make..

[hellokitty]

I would never ask a man to choose me or anything - I would hope he would have enough sense to keep me happy and have his toys too. I would also expect him to let me play with his toys.
He cannot play with my toys
I have 2 bikes and apparently I have no need for 2 road bikes... that was said once and once only. Husband has 2 bikes, 1 road and 1 racing, that is different (yeah no rego is all I can see there)

I want my bikes in the lounge, but apparently that is a silly idea...

Typical of KLR

Im with Gremlin on this one.... easy option being single - any future partner will know from day one that bikes will always be in my life, and I'll always have one. They don't like it? They don't get a second date.
