Living on your own...

[Bomba]

...and being a biker is great, because you don't get shouted at for:

- Traipsing mud through the house / flat
- Keeping your bikes in the living room
- Taking a shower with your bike
- Doing the wrenching in the living room
- Taking your bike to bed
- Washing your drivetrain in the kitchen sink

(NB. I may or may not have done all these things

Jim and I do some of those, we never shout at each other for it...but I guess we're the strange
couple in the neighbourhood...

I use to take my Harley to bed back in the late 70s. But now I'm a mountain biker not a outlaw
biker. The mountain bikes stay in the spare room.

Yeah, although I don't have total freedom (usually have to use the garage instead of the living
room), I can also get away with a lot of bike-related stuff that most folks wouldn't understand. We
are also a weird couple on the block, but there's a high proportion of us in this town. We also
never shout, but we hear the neighbors a-hollerin' now and then. And they don't even have bikes!

Well, I haven't taken a bike to bed (yet) and I wrench in the kitchen (my Park professional stand
has casters on the heavy steel plate and it doesn't roll well on carpet)

I do get yelled at if I rinse Agitene off parts in the bathroom, as it makes the place smell
like kerosene.

In my old gaff in Swansea we had 11 bikes and three people. Which was nice.

My wife lets me do pretty much all of the above, in addition to traipsing sawdust and chips through
the house. Additionally, I simply need to roll and smile over to... you know... <G>

It's alos nice to have someone to hand you a towel, when you forgot to go downstairs and get one
BEFORE getting in the shower, on a cold morning. <G>

Word...before I moved back home (going to college = no rent at Dad's) my roommate Dave and I had 5
bikes between us.

We had a policy: any chick that was over and mentioned us "needing to get rid of some bikes" was not
to be invited back. The first chick that said "Wow, nice bike" ending up my girlfriend for a year.

Chris

PS - We always invited chicks back because, well, we're men. We're weak. We like chicks.

someone to borrow tools from, some one to wrench on your bike for you, a rding partner you don't
have to wait to show up, someone to bring you ice packs after you wreck...

Just make sure you return 'em, or I'll put a lock on my toolbox.

Doesn't mean they'll be ready on time though! <throws up hands>

Yep, the new one does this. (Heh, 10+ years and he's still "the new one.")
