Lol, were they yours at the time?

I suspect he just had them for a little while before they went onto somebody else.

Didn't Homer Simpson keep his bike in the bedroom, with the engine
running? And didn't this make Marge jealous?

Best not to let the old bikes into the house.They can be a bugger to get rid of in the morning when the regrets set in.

Thanks in advance!

One of the boys in work used to keep his CBR in the conservatory when he lived at his mum's, which was fine as long as he didn't go for a ride in the early evening, as they'd be watching tv whilst listening to the engine cool down.........ting.....ting.....ting.....ting
