Nice bike. I had the exact one till I sold it to another person on this forum. I used to keep it in the basement as well. I have about 10 bikes in the basement at the moment. Half are my son's. Wife does not go there anymore!
You are in deep doo-doo with your Missus, Jim, but at least you can take comfort in the fact that your bike is happier than a baby in a barrel of titties!
