:action::action:Good on ya guys, I am finding this seriously funny:action:

If we go we will take the wifes car and my Goldwing with us as vehicles are very expensive in australia, everything else is comparible or cheaper.

I won't point this thread out to she who must be obeyed or I won't be allowed back here.:whip:

Actually she loves the :12grey:as much as I do. She wants me to teach her to ride but she's 5'1" and weighs 60kgs, somehow I don't think so.

I'll take her, the 4 kids, the dog, the car and the :12grey:. Everything else will stay in NZ.

TOP SECRET!!

Andrew, it is with deep concern that I feel compeled to write!!

Your response above leads me to qustion a few things:

1) Can you cast your mind back to when your wife mentioned the riding. Now this is important, did she say, she would like to ride THE bike or A bike? As you are aware I am sure, men are from Mars and women are from Venus, and if she said THE then that might be okay, you would just have to lower the seat, and get her trained, if on the other hand she said A, then that might cost you dear. Not only will you be forking out for a suitable steed but when the kids see you and mum riding, they may want bikes aswell!! More expence and worry.

2) Leaving any of the animals behind will result in years of you being refered to as "The Heartless One"

3) Have you thought what will happen to poor old CBHON when you go, not only will he be the only guy left, but he is an ex pat, and may not be able to cope left drinking laxatives!!

I leave you to ponder these initial points before delving into any others.

Hi Katherine,

I'm Helen, Pete's better half and feel sorry for you but alsoglad that I am not the only partner that plays 2nd fiddle to a b****y computer. Pete first got addicted with passing his time on Ebay, but of course he now spends ALL HIS TIME on this site!

The house is in the middle of being renovated and I am having a hard job motivating him into getting on with things. I am wondering what will happen when his wing comes back in a few weeks time, from being tarted up. I am sure he will be like a little boy at Christmas, not knowing what to play with first. I'll have no chance.

Hope the move goes well for you all,. if you decide to go of course

Best wishes and sympathies:bash2::bash::bash::bash2:

Hey Mrs. Adrewl,

Welcome to our wonderful family here !

A wife learning to ride "The Bike' is strictly a "Family" matter,so I don't get involved in any recommendations either way !

But you could put a Saddle and some Saddle bags on the Big Dog and go for a ride, good gas mileage!

We can encourage Andrew to going to the "Gym" with you but he'll probably want to bring his bike inside and put it on the "Tread Mill" while you work out,lol !:goofygrin:

As far as being neglected from "Andrews " time

on this great website it actually keeps him out of the "Pubs" and saves a lot of money to spend on his lovely wife , so we help marriages out at no cost, it's free because we're a nice lot !

PS After seeing pictures of NZ in the Bike Magazines , it would be hard to get me to leave a place that beautiful but I've also seen some great pics of Australia too ?!

But you would have to trade your Sheep in for Kangaroos and they don't yield much wool ?!:baffled:

I survived and she has found this thread as amusing as i have.

However Pete it sounds to me like you are going tohave to stop playing here and on the wing and get back to building. i have renovated a house once (repiled, reclad, regibbed, replumbed and rewired as well as complete decoration) and won't be going back there in a hurry.

By the way trading sheep for kangaroo is not a bad idea.:jumper: Kangaroo meat is much tastier than sheep and certainly not as fatty.

Thank the good Lord that you are still in one piece Andrew!!!

Now don't mention the building work to She who should be obeyed, as you know obviously, these things can't be rushed and I am not as young as I was, so I need a hobby to relax me. Better this than down the pub or playing golf!!

We must stand shoulder to shoulder guys, otherwise the next thing is the ladies will want a "Ladies Night" where they can plan and scheme and vent their feelings. I mean, look what happened last night!! One quick word fom Katherine and Helen just pushed me to the ground, stood on my head and started typing. This could be a dark day, for the Site!!

Now Andrew, what sex are your siblings, our four are all boys/men so I have plenty of support, but if you have a brood of girls, well, I don't rate your chances too high!!

Perhaps we could get Steve to start a secondery site "Goldwing Widows" and they could go there to vent their frustrations. I suppose it is alright for the older guys, they are retired and have the time to be on here, plus their wives are too busy knitting or whatever to notice the time we waste, er, enjoy, on here.

Anyway, I am relieved to hear that you still have all your bodily parts in tact Andrew and look foward to hearing from you again, when youare allowed!!!:whip:

Pete
