Lets buy a bigger house with a larger shop so I can have more bikes
Its getting a little crowded I think

Would you tell her to sell kitchen stuff to make room for a new blender? I think not. Just put a lock on the garage door ..

Jim F · « **Reply #2 on:** January 06, 2008, 08:22:02 PM »

Well since I use the kitchen stuff more than she then its safe to say that she wouldn't notice
a few more blenders, Hence the name Big-Jim.........

Better not let the "one who must be o bayed" see this

But thats only part of my basement

there are 2 more bikes in the hallway down there and one in my other shop

The collection continues

I see my ALL TIME FAVORITE CBR 600 generation fairings. the 87-90 600F in white with red stripes. where's that bike at? I'd LOVE to see it. I first discovered my love of riding on a black and red 87 Hurricane. but yeah, you need a bigger garage.

Jim F · « **Reply #4 on:** January 06, 2008, 08:51:31 PM »

Thats one of the two bikes that are down the hallway from this room but Here is a picture if the 87 CBR600

Any CB400Fs in there I can take off your hands?

I would say 'Good luck to your next husband'

How's that one go.....

She said she's leaving if I don't get rid of those #%$&% bikes.....

Damn I'm gonna miss her.

Buber · « **Reply #9 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:18:38 AM »

Well, for me it was fairly easy. She just got her NEXT bike. It's not SOHC, but close enough - we just sold her Virago, and bot Diversion. And here is the best part - she insisted, and DID herself a overhaul of a rear brake!! I was just assisting with spanners and info "what to do next". And after that we want for a ride. Check the scenery!

Well I have offered all of the bikes that I have to be one of hers, but she hasn't
found one she likes.
I guess I will have to keep getting bikes until shes finds one that she likes

YEAH RIGHT

30 years ago, I was put under pressure to sell a machine and I sold it.
I'm still sick about it !
Hang in there.

wounder if I can dig out my basement and go under the street
just shore it up like a cave.................more room for bikes and it will stay cool
in the summer time

Where do you do all your micro welding Jim? I work in a warehouse, and I often think about parking some of my bikes at work to make room in my garage? Cheers, Terry.

dustyc · « **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2008, 07:20:38 PM »

She saw how the backyard cleared up with the removal of that 750 and liked it. You shouldn't have started that trend. Now she thinks you're ready to part with some of them.

I've got a little CB200 in about the same condition as the 750 you gave me you're welcome to as a project for her. Answer the call for fewer bikes with more bikes. You have to push back.

Or you can keep them up here. I'll need the keys though so I can move them in case of a fire.

Looks like the GL fork conversion is moving along. Looking good. Give me a shout if you need a hand with anything.

Joel · « **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2008, 10:12:23 PM »

Any room for a workshop? Then you'd be able to keep it all outta the way. I'm not sure what pole barn type building would cost.

Bob550four · « **Reply #18 on:** January 07, 2008, 10:27:22 PM »

I say get a shipping container, run wiring into it, set up some lights, then put the bikes in there.

I want that 600F so bad.

A while back I had to sell a wife to make room for another bike.

#$%*es, they just don't understand......................

Now if you should happen to repeat this to a female she is likely to ask if you're calling her a #$%*. To this you must reply - well, do you understand??

How much did you get for her mate? I'm thinking about unloading mine, she's a "classic" with a fine "patina" of wear showing? I'll swap her for a pair of K0 shocks, but once the deal is done, I'm not taking her back, no way!

Joel · « **Reply #22 on:** January 09, 2008, 07:10:49 PM »

All Sales Final. No Exceptions.

Jim F · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2008, 08:38:08 AM »

If I knew I was going to get get in to business when I was looking to buy a new house
I sure would have done this differently. 4 or 5 acres to put a large shop to handle the bikes and my
welding business. you had better learn from hind sight, I have.

3000 Sq foot house and a 10,000 Sq shop

NICE
