I bought a Kuwi ET about 6 months ago and stashed it in the garage - got a text message from the wife last week 'What the fook is that ET thing in the garage' she'd only decided to clear the garage out!!

Did the honourable thing and totally lied about it not been mine and I said I was hiding it for a mate!!

Hook, line and indeed sinker!! Happy days!!

I've started lying to myself because I've started having stropps with myself about the amount f stuff I'm buying.

I'm currently witholding sex from myself at the moment. That'll teach me won't it.

Yep the wife knows

, but she knows it's my money and I won't go too mad with it... after the next build that's it for me anyway, can't keep spending out and spending out

I decided it was easier to change W.A.G.s, the new one costs me more with bikes than I spend on myself

Oh well cant have it allways

but she now knows about the Looptail Floval, but I told her is cost £100 to build ! (aaaaahhhh!!)

i mioght tell her about the hidden Looptail PK and the NOS Torker soon...

the only problem with telling your WAGs that your £1000+ bike only cost £100 is that when they take it upon themselves to clear out your stuff and sell it and some scrupulous RAD member offers £200 for it. she then thinks she's done you a favour for "doubling" your money.

They aint got no right to moan , not when most of em spend hundreds over the year on hair cuts and getting their fooking nails done, builds stop when cheaper salons are found

I`m not a collector of OS as such,though new school can still be bloody expensive.My wife is OK,though if I see something that is megabucks,then I`ll discuss it with her.Never comes to an argument,so I guess I`m lucky!

I bought a NOS blue Kashi off a Rad member and it came in a old shoe box,

the girlfriend thought i was a proper minga for buying second hand shoes........

as for her clearing the garage/loft,she cant get in either of them as shes a Spen and cant pull the loft ladder down,and the garage door is bust so she cant open that either.

Happy days.

Aye...I'll second that, our lass doesn't bother me at all, as long as the bills still get paid and kids clothed she keeps her sneck out.

She's too bust with her stuff anyway...which is fook all to do with me either so happy days.

It got particularly hairy the other day when i said i wouldnt buy anymore for a while and the posty knocked with three framesets on a saturday morning

That took some explaining and then i remembered, i traded it all
