Alan,
You don't hide the bikes from the womenfolk. Lorraine has two bikes, Tom only has one. Lorraine is a damn good rider too, she did better than I did during our travels. Don't sell the women short on this one, they won't take it quietly.
I stopped by Caroline's house on the way home from Tom and Lorraine's and Caroline has her Honda, a nice looking bike. And she got it for a good price.
