Am I wierd ?
« on: January 31, 2007, 10:44:28 PM »

Lately in the evenings after dinner when I've had my fill of giving all of you my opinions (whether you want them or not )  I've taken to sitting in the garage and admiring my two gorgeous Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I used to chide my dad about buying stuff just to look at and not using it. While I don't think it's a matter of dispute that I ride and ride a lot, this latest habit has me wondering

   Am I wierd ?

Nah, that's perfectly OK.  Only weird when you actually bring them inside the house.

I wouldn't call it weird, just passionate! 8-)
There is no problem unless your daily life suffers from all the passion. Like if you can't go to work,or you don't notice that the wife is upset or the kids have set themselves on fire etc. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

You might be asking the wrong crowd here though?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

When you start having conversations with your bikes....that's wierd.

I try to teach my guys when they finish (or think they have) a house then just walk around it.
Take 5 minutes on each side and look at what the customer is going to see. I also have them go into each room and stand and look.
Go to each batroom and sit on the toilet and stand in the shower. You would be surprised what you see if you take the time to look.
My point in this is that I sometimes go to the garage and just look at the bikes and study what I see. We are all busy and sometimes to just stop and look at what we have gives us a new perspective on what others see.

No, your not weird, your just BB and on most day that's something to be proud of! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

It brings me great comfort to hear this "confession" from someone like you, BB.  Me, I do the  same thing largely out of time constraints--I have time to admire and fuss over it even when I don't have time to do any riding.  I vanish into the garage in the evenings when the boob tube is sucking my family in (American Idol--I cannot STAND that show, Gray's Anatomy).  I decided a long time ago that I just enjoy having the thing.

B B,

You are not weird!!! Sometimes I go out in the garage and look at Hazel just to make sure she is real. I have waited along time for this dream to come true. Additionally, I get to imagine the the new chrome that OCD brings and add things to my to do list.

There is always the spot cleaning I get to do.

Yea, B B...you're weird as chit, but you're in good company... ;)  Every night when I get home from work and pull into the basement, I have to stop for a moment and look at my bikes to make sure they're OK, and to just generally admire what a fine piece of work they are, think about stuff I want to do in the future, and wipe the dust off, if any.  Just this past weekend, I did all the fluids on Saturday, then went down Sunday and gave her a good going over...a couple of beers, and three microfiber cloths later, she was shining like a new penny.  I like doing that...gets me familiar with every nook and cranny, bolt and screw.  I might even talk to her... [smiley=nervous.gif], and Jill, the GPS lady, even talks back a little... [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Now if I could just alter WHAT she says to me, it might really get kinky [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=drink.gif]
