I cannot be the only one who has to be a bit sneeky when it comes to perchacing BMX goodies!

My Mrs would go potty if she really new what was comming into the house!

The hoping that the delivery will come when she is out, the bulsh1t given when she says what in the parcel? with the reply:`just got it to restore and sell on!!`try and make a few quid!!

to be honest I don`t know how i`ve got away with it!! I have to keep her far away from the paypal account!

love to here some of your stories??

I would be black and blue if she only knew!!

My wife saw 77 paypal receipts the other day dating from only a couple of months ago.

Busted.

Had to get my Aerospeed cranks delivered somewhere else and I just hope my Profile forks get held by customs so I can collect them rather than her taking in the delivery.

I think I'm really lucky then, had 4 parcels arrive yesterday and she hardly batted an eyelid.

Even said the ET pads looked "nice".

Oh, and she also added "but you are only building a replica of a replica!" How rude!

I used to have three bikes in the office at work. Then I moves jobs and sold them to pay for cars and repairs. I have a NOS FST there now with nearly all the bits but have yet to mention it to her yet but have mentioned a new one for Christmas. I never mention the cost though

You are not a true collector until you start lying to the missus in my opinion

.

My Wife once said about 4 years ago "Sean, honestly exactly how many frames and bikes do you have?", she was shocked when I said "Well apart from the 12 bikes you know about and the 3 frames in the shed, I also have an extra 8 in the loft, 4 at my Mums, 2 at work, 1 in the boot of the car and 2 at the powdercoaters!!".

a couple of years ago I had a mass of bikes stored at my Mum's house, VDC Changa, Haro Freestyler, Vector, PK Rippers, Quads etc... The wife never knew, we was visitng my mum one day and she saw one of the bikes, told her it was my brothers, who didn;t live there at the time, and also didn;t collect BMX's...

Once told her I found a Hutch Trickstar down the local tip and paid a fiver for it...

Always got stuff delivered to work, including my old Nomura, plus collected a lot of stuff too; my old Floval Loopy, Torker Cruiser etc.. They always cost less than £50 though, and how could she dispute it?

It's all gone now, except the Trickstar and a couple of others in the loft. Got too much for when another PK Looptail got delivered at home by mistake.. got home from work to be greeted by "what's this? thought you'd stopped buying more bikes?!"

it's a funny old game as Greavsie used to say

Always get deliveries to work and then put it straight in the spare room or garage.

When I eventually start working on a bike I say either, "i've had it for ages" or "I swapped it for that other part that I posted out last week"

It's great fun

I had a frame and forks delivered earlier this year, I wasnt in so the fooktard postie delivered it to the school my wife works at as its only up the road. I got a text saying there's a parcel here for you...another fookin bike come and get it

when i got there she was waiting with 2 other teachers, arms folded shaking their heads in disgust, didnt get laid for a month rather than the usual fortnight

Postie knows better now

It's amazing how much stuff either arrives FOR Spen or stuff Spen has sent down to me to restore

and that Includes the recent smuggling of an Race inc Ra7 into the back of wifeys car at her 40th party, excuse given..yup, Spen wants me to restore and build it

superbikedan · « **Reply #22 on:** October 21, 2011, 08:40 PM »
