Finally got the commando out for its first run of the season, took the morning to clean up the shop and snapped a family pic while the bikes were out

Very nice family pics, here is my family, but the 900 Thruxton has left home, but I do miss her.
I have a 1960 Manxman project but it's not built yet still in pieces and the dirt bike, it's shy and hiding in the corner of the shed lol.

It's a pity not more family photos have been put up, my life since leaving school at 15 has been my children (bikes lol) and my Norton since new when I brought it at 17 years old and is still my prize procession, I grew up with my wife but didn't date her till I was 30 years old and married 6 months later in 1990, but she knew the children (bikes) were the most important thing in my life and she excepted that as well our own kids, well the kids have all grown up and left home and the wife is still with me, we have had our bad times and up and downs with life, but we stuck together and she also knows when I need to get away on the bike/bikes with the mates, she reads me like a book and sometime she tells me to get away, maybe that is good for her as well we all need that short break sometimes.
I am not the easiest person to live with and the wife can be like that with me as well, we both have that understanding, but we both care for each other no matter what, she has the house and I have my shed/workshop and the bikes, I am a hands on person and the house (the house is 67 years old my dad built) I grew up in and lived in all my life has gone through a major renovation that I did all the work except installing the new kitchen, all done for my wife to enjoy myself as well.
The bikes I have now will do me for the rest of my life, but it be great to hear everyone else family life with their bikes and life in general with their wives and kids and how the bikes kept them together or not, as I say my wife drives me crazy sometimes but hey what I do to her as I am set in my ways, but she knows I love her in my own ways, but my motorcycles are number one and she knows that, she would never say "the bikes or me" as she knows her bags be packed and at the front door real quick lol.
So more family photos and stories please as I think it's a very good subject, our lives with our bikes.

This was taken a couple of years ago. The Guzzi is my wife's, although she hasn't ridden it in almost 20 years. I kept it running and inspected for a while, but it has sat dormant in the back of the garage for quite a few years. The Commando was my first bike, and has changed a lot over the years. The BMW was my commuter and occasional tourer when I worked for a BMW dealership. I bought the ST4 with the intent to replace the BMW, but ended up keeping the BMW. I've since added a MkIII Commando project bike, and probably should get rid of one of the others as space it tight.
