I love being single

I degreased my engine in my bathtub haha! Not single, but the missus is away for a bit. Still smelled a bit when she took a shower, but she didn't mind haha!

Hmm degreasing my z1 engine in the bathtub......not a bad idea. That cute girl that works at the rental office is coming over to my place tonight for dinner. But hell the way i look at it, when the holidays roll around i was always worried that there wouldnt be enough places for people to sit. Now there is the 400 and 650, come on guys why buy a love seat when you can have 2 bikes inside to do the job just fine.

Gringo, posted pics. Hint, hint.
Us married cats need ammo, like some good bachelors pad pics. When my girl says I don't need another bike I show her pics with bikes inside and all of a sudden I am not so bad.

you outta see how pissed your old lady can get if you bake a set freshly painted with wrinkle finished cases, head, and valve covers in the oven in the house. the smell went away but oh no that wasn't good enough i had to go buy the witch another oven. like she even knew how to turn it on in the first place.

Johnla beat me to the punch, pics please. If not for humor, for ammo. My ex made the mistake of.."me or the bikes"... That's an easy one. Funny how we want older bikes and younger women, hahaha. The new one knows better, and wants em runnin so she can ride. Why is it we need the second time around to make a better choice. A bit the same with bikes I would say. Cheers!

my last girlfreind said to me on our last evening together that i was spending to much time with my bikes. so i said as politly as i could muster, iwas riding them before iwas,well you guy's know the rest right.

It's kinda funny, i broke it off with my ex a few weeks before i went to mid ohio bike week. She said she didnt really know if she could handle riding 300 and some odd miles to ohio, i said, i never asked you to go in the 1st place...............so ya thats how i ended that relationship......lol she called me when i was half way to ohio, and asked were i was. I said on my way to ohio, then she pulled that crying crap, and said i thought you would have stayed and tried to make this work. All i said is, well i obviously just wanna be single with alot of toys that dont bitch, you know something you can ride hard and put away wet......lol Pics will be up as soon as i can get to the store and buy batteries for my turdbox camera.

All total I have 11 bikes, and 3 EX wives.....

i have been where several of you guys have with the statement "It's the bikes or me!" Well, don't let the door hit ya where God split ya!

over the years I have had bikes parked and being worked on in my kitchen, bedroom, living room, dining room, garage, and any other open space I can find. i currently have one up the street in a buddies garage that I can't find the space for at the moment.....

I jsut split up with one lady who is wanting a bike of her own,a nd wants to build it from scratch (XS650), and just met one who rides her own machine (GSXR750). Life seems to be improving with good choices...we shall see.

Every one I run up on has been warned. I will always have a bike in the garage whether I am capable of riding or not....

Doc

I split up with the first one After she made me sell my car. It was a 72 Vega with a 327 in it. I should have gotten rid of her.

Yes....Yes you should of, when a girl tells me its either her or my bikes or my cars. I just say well......they were here before you werent they??. My last gf said i should sell all of the kawi's to buy her a new car, i said i dont think this relationship is gonna work out. Just to piss her off more, that night i went out and bought a kz 650 parts bike just because..........lol. She also wanted me to sell my 79 Z-28, that is my baby, i have had it since i was 16, that one will never leave my side................ahh so many memories......and TICKET'S.......lol

I love being married She backs me up on everthing i do , Lets me park the bike in the living room in winter months ( In fact insists on it ) Used to go for rides with me , but dont anymore still loves the bike on the straight and narrow roads but has a fear of corners a twisties now , Im 62 and shes 64 ( I think shes afraid of falling off now) I had an old 1970 Skidoo that caught fire one winter and tryed working on it out in the grage ( It was freeezing out there) She said to bring it in the dinning room and fix it .
So I figgure Single is good for some of you guys and a lot of you have your reasons for staying that way , But Life is a give and take deal Guess Rose and I Understood that from the start Our 40th anniversry is comming up this moth on the22d Think Ill get her helping on my next project :: Scrap!

Thought I had it sorted. 12 bikes and two ex-wives.

Two nights ago my girfriend called and seemed a little upset. Being a very "caring" type I asked her what was wrong, she said she needed to discuss our relationship as it wasn't progressing the way she expected it to, she lives about 1 hour 45 min from me and we only see each other at weekends. She invited me to move in with her a couple of months ago and needless to say I declined her kind offer. I am apparently not showing enough commitment to her. Also I have a small apartment in Brighton UK which is on the coast and I am lucky enough to be able to walk to work, also my newly married daughter has just moved close by and she is expecting my first grand child. I have two lock-up garages for my bikes and I keep parts all over my apartment and work on bike parts inside whenever I want. Am I really going to change that?
The discussion progressed and the result was that I got the Spanish Archer.
Funny thing is that I met this lady about 6 months ago when I bought a Z1 Classic from her on Ebay- it was in her shed and she hadn't ridden it for about six years- about the time her old man left her. Great bike though.
Problem I am now faced with is this:- I had this wild notion that maybe we could ride out together and kindly and now mistakenly gave her one of my KZ750 Ltd's. Do you guys think it would be reasonable to ask for it back as I now doubt that she will ever ride it?

I am now really looking forward to this weekend so that I can show some more commitment to my bikes.:laugh:
