A forum for wifes of shadetree bike builders.........

[AzHonda]

who are obsessed with learning on the net, researching parts, prices, value on the net, dreaming about that sweet CB find that some old lady just wants to donate. As for me, I am a husband that cant sit still long enough to watch a movie because I am obsessed with fixing the next thing that I either messed up or whatever that damn gremlin that keeps getting into my garage did to my bike last night or the other two bike builds I have going on.

My wife shakes her head at me all the time and when she needs to find me she always heads to the garage door first. She says she needs other women to talk to that have to live this life with thier hubbys. I told her I could start to smoke crack and read Vanity Fair. She's glad I have grease under my nails.

I do think I could get more done if there was a support group for wifes of rednecks like us. Probably could get two or three more bikes in the garage. ;D

I dunno dude....Allowing the women folk to talk...sounds like a bad idea to me...next thing you know, they want to start reading, then they could start getting ideas. Im not sure about all this.
do you think they might find my avatar offensive?

Hmm...my ex woulda found your avatar hot, but then, she would have rather been sitting with the guys in the garage than talking to the wives. Some days I kinda miss her...

Or, pick up a little 100cc wee machine, tell her you got it for her, fix it up nice and pretty, add it to the collection and then when she comes out to the garage or down to the lower level shop ('basement' is passe) pissed off that you are working again, redirect her attention to 'her' bike and all is well in Addictionville.

Worked for me . . . and everytime she comes out I say, "Now tell me again, what colors do you want on the tank and seat?" ;D

My wife refers to you guys that I spend so much time with as my "Motorcycle Whores".
As in "What'chya doin now, talking to your Motorcycle Whores again?"
;D

Ha! Motorcycle whores.

Buckeye- that's what I bought the CL175 for.

Frame and fenders are being media blasted right now. I have about 80% of what I need new to put her back together. I have to tear engine down completly and replace oil seals and gaskets. Looks like it was leaking all over hell and back.
