    Those are the ornamental bikes - she's got a ropey shed out the back with the real ones in like the rest of us :-)

    How do you keep that carpet clean?

    Perhaps they are cleaned after every ride?

    Actually that is a stupid suggestion, nobody does that, mud looks too good

    Careful cropping of the photo means we cannot see the dirty marks on the clean carpet from wheeling the bikes in.
    Very nice MSM, unfortunately my wife won't let the bikes in the house. Building up my new frame would be a lot warmer if she did.

    I carry my bikes in! And the photo is a bit of an illusion - the main hallway carpet is constantly being cleaned on acccount of most of the traffic past my house being horses, bikes and tractors, which drag all the crud from the fields all the way down the lane, which I then walk into my house. So now it's offcuts put down all the way, which are only put away on special occasions like when my Hyacinth Bucket family come round.

    ahh my bike lives in the living room, the joys of solid wood floors makes it easier for her in doors to clean up after my bike....

    how many black tyre marks have you got on the underside of your stairs??

    Their minds are as dirty as my carpet.

    And just for reference, I use 1001 carpet shampoo and a bit of elbow grease.... :lol:

    I have those dog hooks, but in red! No reflection of you in the mirror, isn't that a standard 'mistake' these days?!
    Why? Because I'm guaranteed a seat all the way in.

    I love my new dog's bum hooks. And no, I was very careful not to take a selfie in the mirror - even tatty jeans and a paint covered top would be enough to encourage them on here... :roll: :D

    How very dare you, I resemble that comment.
    Besides, you'd probably look better without them...

    Oh, and HH I don't have girlfriends because my wife won't let me. Nothing to do with being a childish pillock I'm sure.
