Looking for a girlfriend for my bike, seeking recomendations

Hi,

I have a bunch of bikes clogging up my shop now and no girlfriends to ride them. The only one off imits, probably is my wife's bike since that would be bad form. Here is a list of the bikes; maybe you all could give me some suggestions:
Transition Blindside sz Med.
Diamondback XTS Moto sz Lg.
Trek 820 19"
Barracuda A2R 19"
Barracuda A2Z 16"

Is this a good idea? Have any of you encountered complications getting girlfriends for your bikes while married? And what of the fact that I'm no prize by any stretch of the imagination - - what if I cannot find girlfriends to go with the bikes?

If you build them, they will come! Although the one that can master the blindside, probably won't be a prize by any stretch of the imagination either!

I highly suggest a test ride before deciding on any girlfriends. You want to understand the fit and feel of what you are getting yourself into.

I think it's very nice of you to play matchmaker for your bikes. I have set up some of my bikes with women in the past, and it has worked out fairly well. In the interests of full disclosure, the vast majority of these hookups were one-shot deals, maybe a weekend fling. All the bikes came back to me looking a little the worse for wear, but they seemed to have fun. Given the size of your frames, you may need to find some burly girlies. I recommend lurking about the local fitness clubs...

Whatever you decide,stay away from the redheaded girlfriends. They'll bring you nothing but grief and you'll spend more time working than riding..........trust me on this one.

Redheads are trouble for sure. I should know: I used to be one . . . back before I got old . . . back when I had hair.

It's smart to wait till you're married before you settle down and get a girl friend.
I always tell my friends I will never have another girlfriend until I get married.
