OZ'S BICYCLE SALVAGE YARD , wife is ready to KILL ME

[gkeep]

My G/F ( I do have an Ex Wife too.....) comes home from a week away babysitting her Mom's house and visiting her in a seniors home and stares at my Man Cave suggesting I may have brought/bought another bicycle into the house? I mean I only have 10 down there. I'm not using your thread to showcase my collection, as most Cabers have seen it, quite frankly, I consider this "tame" compared to many "collectors"...ha!! It just is what it is, and it helps keep me insane.

Also over 30 guitars, vintage tin signs, 1959 Seeburg juke box, big screen TV, Model 44 Coke machine ( dispenses cold cans of beer for a dime) 3 large vintage guitar amplifiers ( +2 smaller amps) dozens of vintage tin and pressed steel toys, model Wood boats, loads of NOS Delta lights and horns, Robots, antique light up/neon/motion clocks and signs, Full size 1957 Johnson Golden Javelin outboard boat motor, etc...etc.... HUGE beer frig... You get the picture.

I said "no dear, actually the large 1970's 4 x 12" speaker Garnet amp is out for repair, and my 1963 Fender reverb unit is out getting a grounded cord. There is less than usual". I didn't mention I bought another 5' Coca Cola Policeman ( I have one in my garage) that I plan on adding to said Man Cave as soon as it arrives. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. So what? I say your JC Higgins SHOULD STAY in the living room!! Sweet bike.

A machine that dispenses beer for a dime??!! I'm selling my bikes to pay for air fare to Winnipeg!! Have you got doughnuts for a nickel?

You might seriously consider getting those bikes a home. You’re not doing them any good, and they’re not doing anybody any good.

Clean the rest of that junk out cut the grass and stack them neat and she might not notice it as much.

You have the highest N value I have ever seen.

with that many bike rusting away I think you should take the good ones and put them out of the weather.Take the junkers apart for any desirable parts.
