I just started having it all sent to our office. When I come off the road I stop by and pick it all up and then sneak it in the garage after she's asleep. By the time she notices that something is different about the bike I'm usually back out on the road and she just gets drunk and goes to sleep. OK everyone say it together...PUSSYWHIPPED!!

I also seemed to have developed this condition. Of course with my wife, it wasn't so much the signing for the packages that is the problem, it is when she accepts things like my wheel chock and drops it on her foot!
Well that and I am gone from home working for 2 weeks at a time, and she had a box containing my Big Boy ramp sitting in the living room for 2 weeks

there is no problem it just comes with being a bike owner.just tell her that the more she gets tick the more you have a feeling to buy.there is nothing that can be done except pack her suite case.

Straight from the mouth of a happy, confirmed, bachelor. Soon to be single, or a guy who has really good hiding places.

I don't have a problem. I can quit anytime I want to, but I don't want to. I enjoy it. Really.

"Hi, I'm Gumby, and I'm a 'chrome-aholic'. Glad you're here, jarhead."


What to do with the boxes? DOH!!!
That's what the bedroom is for. I sleep in the grudge. NOT because I LOVE the scoots, "SHE" signs for the boxes here, too.

Chrome Addiction meetings are so good looking. If the first bike is finished get another bike to start over. I have no problem here.
