    My wife says I'm obsessed.....

    ......with motorcycles. But I've only got 6 (5 1/2 actually - the half is in bits/boxes).

    Virtually every day I come across one or more others that any rational person (like myself) could make a compelling case for owning. That I don't buy the great majority of them demonstrates I have composure and restraint - bugger!

    If you'd listened carefully - She said 'she's depressed' - by all the bits & boxes of motorcycle shit around the place.

    yeah and the problem is ??? 6 bikes ?? wait till you have to try to explain ,,kibblewhite or carrillo ,,,,then it gets creative

    Dont listen to Dave he doesnt know what he is talking about .. I have a few boxes of bits ..but its the presentation thats important

    Thats why they sort of dissapear into smaller boxes .....

    Tried that, but she didn't like the "clutch thingy" or the prospect of dirtying/ruining her shoes changing gears.

    Subsquently found-out (not from me) that all of this can be avoided on a scooter - and you don't even have to lift your leg over!

    Has talked about visiting a scooter shop. I have been able to avoid this (so far) by developing an extra severe case of domestic deafness.

    6 is a good round figure. Do you have a garden shed?

    Mate - buy her something nice and expensive (non bike related!) and tell her you love her - after all you have 5 bikes - stop your moaning and start thanking you lucky stars.

    Ive got 9, only one is in bits at the moment as I'm turning it into a rat bike. Now when I met her I did not have a bike, however I did warn her that I was intending to collect a few bikes one I could do so. Now Ive been around to another KBer's place and there was unfinished bikes every where. Even I found it a tad depressing. It was a good example for me to only have one project on the go at a time. There is having a collection and then having unfinished projects/crap...
