Well, seeing as we've got a Bike Porn thread going for everybody's spandy new rides, I thought I'd start a Reader's Wives thread for thos eof us who want to publish pictures of our bikes that have seen a bit of action and been round the block a few time. Or you might have leant to a mate. Or has had more owners that you care to think about. Here's my old VT to get us started. And plenty of ammo for the kitchen pervs, too!!

    When you say under the microwave, do you mean uner the work-top under the microwave? It's the cental heating boiler. The microwave is a Sharp, BTW, and nearly as old as me! It's at least 25 years old and still going strong!!

    Old? The bike looks positivly spankable next to your kitchen :) Nice chequered table cloth though. Where did you get it? Might upgrade my kitchen with one of those.

    I have to admit that I do get a bit anal about kleeping my bikes in tip-top condition - after all, the basic bike cost the best part of a month's salary to start with and I've probably spent more than that again on it getting it how I want it. So it's not going to sit in a corner rotting. It will be 4 years old this year.

    As for the table-cloth - it's a one off "Mum Special", so there isn't another one like it!

    Here's my girls, the Silver ones getting on it years now, but saggy in parts and missing some of her original features. The picture of the orange one was taken back last spring when she was a virgin, rode her a plenty of times now and she's broken in nicely!
