Museum queens

Post by Samy »

Possibly a repost but here's some pics i took in NSW last week while visiting a large private collection on display to the public. It was mostly road bikes but these were hiding in the corner...

Super Cheap sell that look a like plastic sheets rolls in checker plate, in chrome too. A nice mat under the bike!
I would rather push my twinshock than ride a modern!

It all depends on the answer to 1 question, and the result should be self evident........
Does there exist in your life "She Who Must Be Obeyed"?

If the answer is NO, then statistically nearly 100%

If the answer is YES, then its one in a million

And I didn't think you needed to be a statistician to figure that one out.

Hold it there.....

I am a "She who must be obeyed" and agree with Andy that the checker plate flooring definitely enhances the presentation of the bike and would have no objections to it being installed.

Her who MUST be obeyed has so far been very ....... very patient and understanding and I will definately not be pushing the buttons to test this theory anytime soon.

Perhaps the checkerplate will have to wait.

Just to show my appreciation of her kind willingness to allow me to indulge myself, I thought you would like to see the TREE that also exists in my living room.

I would have to say that's a huge understatement!!

Andy, you have photographic evidence of having a bike indoors.
I reckon I'm doing OK just being able to keep mine in the shed.
(but then mine really isn't anything worth looking at anyway)

Andy, you just need to sell the idea as protection thing for the polished floor boards and you are just making sure you don't damage her floor. The product you are looking at under the bikes is a pvc tile and if you are keen a few tiles wouldn't cost much or I have the same thing in a roll in silver, you could have a couple meters..........if it's ok with the boss.
