It never ceases to amaze me how I am always able to find room for 1 more bike, and not become divorced.

You must have a good wife I know I do I have 4 gas pumps in the living room 
 Ps. I tell her the gas pumps are worth more than the clothes she buys

Yeah, very cool wife. I listen to her advise and opinions, and as she says I hear always her out. And she tells everyone that at least she has her say, and I'll do what I am going to do anyway. Her main rule is that what ever I buy or trade for not be seen outside my shop. About a year ago I bought a Boston Whaler Tender, complete with trailer an 20 hp outboard. To this day, every time I go to my brothers house, she makes the comment "You don't need to bring that boat home until you have a place to store it out of sight". I happens to be in the side of my shop that she never goes into, because it has a '59 Willys Jeep and 16 vintage street bikes in it also. It is far too messy for her to look at.
, so she stays out. She can't be mad, I did comply with her request.

What did you get for a bike there Loner ? 
 Here’s a trick / when you bring it home park the pickup facing out they think you sold one and it’s heading out …
 Latest one I’m stuck with was told it was 100cc twin / only found one cylinder on there 

Haha I was worried about bringing home my 80. But I told my dear wife that a) it was sentimental, b) there are worse hobbies, and c) I already have most of the tools needed lol.

I don’t ask too much about the things she orders and she doesn’t ask too much about parts boxes from partzilla or boats.net

I loved reading this exchange 
I brought home #6 and my wife is happy for me. 
and I too never pay attention to all Macy and Amazon boxes cause neither of us are big spenders 

the gas pumps in the living room takes things to another level!

My wife bought my RT2 as a present.. a few years ago.
She is quite good about these old bikes.. there is a few other old bikes I have my eye on and she sez, get your garage done and be sure my buggy has its own place to be under cover, that’s bottom line…

I'm up to #15 now and have had to take over part of the kitchen. Still, I have left Gr8auntiepat some space to sit down and eat (I'm a tv dinners chap)! 

 

I once saw something that said men don't have savings accounts they have toys if hard times come than the toys go

A phrase I saw, in relation to a wife surviving her husband, that made me chuckle was "I hope that she doesn't sell the bikes for what I told her they cost!".
