Default What would your wife do if??

I just want to see what your wives or girlfriends would do if they caught you wet sanding bike parts in her kitchen sink or rebuilding a tranny on the coffee table?

As long as I don't paint in the house and clean up the sink afterwords my wife it ok with the wet sanding but the tranny on the coffee table requires buying a plane ticket to the St.Thomas for the wife while I did the tranny in her absence. Oh yeah without telling my intentions.

We've got a double sink in the kitchen, if i cleaned it up really good, probably nothing, but, she'd be ticked off deep inside, i know, i've been married to her for 39 yrs.

Back in the single days the bike was always in the living room for the winter but I have been married 33 years this March 29th.

Back a couple lifetimes ago, my 1971 BMW R75/5 spend every winter inside the house...In the kitchen area. I even 'fired it up' every now and again. I'd drag the HD inside the house if I didn't have space along the wall.

And I own a Jeep, so lots of crap get's done inside. And then there's always the guns....

Up until last year when Iadded a garage my bike rested inthe dining room. Built a ramp and rode it upon the deck and thensnaked it through the mud room. Had a big thick scrap of carpet on top of the parquet floor. Changed fluids, tires, didroutine maintenance all the time (used the sink too).

It was always fun inviting a new girlfriend over (sorry, no wife). Trust me, first impressions tells ya a lot. Had one girl ask me, "Whykeep a motorcycle in the dining room?"

Answer, "Because it's a great prop for nekkid pics of new girlfriends".

When I lived in New England (Manchester NH) one winter Idivided the living room in half and gave the ex-wife (Ooops!) one side and I took the other, stripped my 85 Softail damn near too the frame. Actually she was pretty cool about the while thing. It was the other **** she didn't like...ya know like not taking out the garbage. I believe everyone should have at least one ex-wife...ok maybe two!

Later

She'd better not do anything, whether I'm doing a top end job in the kitchen or washing the blue crap off a tire in the bathtub.

Never the coffee table, sits too low and not enough room, need to use the dining room table, just try not to scratch the wood....

Kinda funny, as I just got done cleaning a new set of cylinders in my wife's new dishwasher. Didn't know how to work the damn thing, so she had to turn it on for me. Guess that is what happens when you've been married to your biker babe for 33 years .

She pretty much doesn't care what I do inside long as a smell does not last long. No painting and she drew the lineat heating up a new primary chain in oil on her new cook top. Found a heat plate at a garage sale for that job.
