The wife thinks I'm crazy!

My wife thinks I have gone a little overboard with this bike thing, if you have the same problem show her the roper coal and steam powered bike built back in 1892. Looks like some of us have been going overboard for a long while. The bike I am talking about went to auction this week and was exspected to bring seven figures, only two were made the other is in the "Smith". O by the way Mr. Roper died in a bike crash!

Roper Steam Powered Velocipede or Motocycle

I warned every woman I ever met that I'm a 'gear head' & they better be OK with it!

I used to do that , then quit it became more of an acid test to tell me if she was worth my time , the only one to put up with it I married .

My wife thinks I'm crazy too. But she seems to see value in my love and knack for mechanical things, so she puts me to work now and then. This July will be ten years! And it went by quicker than I would have thought.

My wife used to think I was nuts, until I retired. Now she's happy that I spend my time in the garage instead of hanging out in the house getting in her way. Now she thinks motorbikes are cool.

My wife always said she had proof.

I knew she did. I married her.

My wife understands my hobby. I don't have any vices and this is just a way for me to spend my free time productively.
