spot on there rick , other people just don't get it , i've got my sh1t all over the place i get some peace for a few days then it starts again , "you're gonna have to move these out of here\" and that sort of stuff   , i just let it wash over me and keep typing on here saying yes to more stuff to ram round the house, darren kap came around other week and i had 2 bikes in the kitchen and 1 in front room so we are all as bad and generally we are all getting bollocked about it so "you are not alone"

Last night must have been the time for it!
While 'browsing' this site and others for parts I sensed someone over my shoulder...
"haven't you got enough bikes already?", she said.
"4" I said, "I've only got 4."
To which she replied, "What about the pink one you've got coming?"
"OK then, 5" I said, "I've only got 5".

See you are all going about it the wrong way, I got Jo interested in BMX, built her a bike, took her to MK a few times and she has also been on the London rides. 

Now she doesn't mind if I have BMX's laying around the house, doesn't mind me buying frames and parts and also let me take one of my bikes to our wedding.

I must admit I didn't think she would go for it, but in the end she didn't raise any objections at all and was quite proud of it.  Plus all of my family know that I have always been into BMX so it was no shock to anyone really.

Christ mines is always there like a hovering vulture 

[Spen69]

Mine too - was just about to log on last night and she started huffing at me...... whilst being sat on her lap-top for the previous hour on facebook-dot-whatever. She shut hers as soon as I even threatened to type www.rad........

[mattuknc]

I'm just glad it hasn't been blocked at work (yet) as many are. 

[Julian347]

My wife says she can't moan about me being on Facebook because I'm always on RAD.

She's taken a real interest in the OSBMX though and was even searching through Shiners grips box at MK11 for me. She's also told me what bike she would like, although I haven't told her that mine come first.

Still get a regular reminder that there are a list of jobs that need doing though.

wives and girlfriends should be happy that we have a hobby indulge or small geeky minds with radbmx and not concentrate our efforts trying to find exta-marital sex on facebook or worry about who jordan is fooking now like they all do!!!!

[megsy]

  I got a phone call whilst still at work the other night, from my wife wanting to know why there was a set of handle bars on the bed and a frame in the bedroom . There is also a bike in the kitchen,front room and three in the kids room . I just laugh and let it go straight out the other ear .

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

Fooking great - i just open this thread as the wife was sitting next to me on here day off - had to get out of this thread quickly before she reads it and gives me a bollocking for doing the same  - now she is upstairs so i can read and reply


they watch TV and there programes so why can't i play while having to put up with the shite they watch 

  oh ! got to go she's coming back - will come back when it's all clear 

[Andy68]

I've unsuccessfully tried getting mrs griff interested in BMX, but when you told me at MK that you had a BMX wedding...! that's probably about as far as anyone could go I reckon 
She has warmed slightly to it though, now being prepared to ride her mountain bike in public next to a middle-aged man on a kid's bike is certainly progress!
I think probably a lot of people on here are by definition a bit obsessive, all about finding the balance vs other stuff (which I've yet to work out)

Just for anyone that missed it this is the famous BMX wedding picture...

Well said Sean !

As you know, Amy is very understanding about my BMX's - If she doesn't like it, she's welcome to go back and live with her mother

Nice comment Nick, I just hope Amy doesn't read it as you will be the one moving out.

  at least you didn't put the bike in between you and mrs stidds!

[brass monkey!]

i used to be constantly nagged about having bikes in the house, I must have had 6 in the shed, 7 or so in the loft, my faves were in either the utility room or our kids bedroom, not to mention my Floval and Nomura sat in OUR bedroom...., fook knows how i got away with that 

what she never knew was the 8 bikes at my mum's house, and the others delivered to work etc.... little white lies eh.

nearly all gone now, ..........horrid little bikes  

[Jaymz]

I posted this in another thread, think its quite apt here too

Just explain to her the benefits of BMX

1. Your sat in a shed playing with oily bits and not in the pub
2. You're lusting after exotic and rare framesets and not other women
3. After getting a build done and you start riding again, you'll be too fooked to nag her for sex as you'll ache all over!!!
