Dropping your partner's bike... [Archive]

If you dropped your partners beautifully painted pride and joy and only did minor but noticeable damage, would you tell them or wait until they found out and just replace say things like the clutch lever so it wasnt so obvious?..... :whistle:

:Oops: I'd rack up some brownie points first, then tell him. I'm sure you can think of a way :blip: In fact, why don't you tell him right in the middle of racking up the brownie points? (And then hang on tight, coz I bet it will be one hell of a ride! :shutup:)

"That shit will buff right out!" as they say on here.

Yeah sorry, that should have been my first question too :o I guess I assumed from the tone of your OP that you were ok. Hopefully it will be his first concern too?

Her man is a total honey...I'm sure he will be more concerned about his woman too...though no doubt a little disappointed but you have to wear that eh?

Hey at least you haven't written his bike off...now that can be a bit trying on a relationship :shutup:

YEah, umm. Sorry guy's. Im a bit bored on holiday by myself and seeing as I cant go for a fucken ride now then I thought I would have me a bit of a laugh...

Was gonna keep the thread going but I need to go get a clutch lever... I had just pulled up home, put side stand down and got of bike. Turned around, noticed that the bike was falling. I dived under it but the bloody thing is almost 4 times my weight! So smack into my shin and then my foot. Im fine, shin has a great big lunp forming on it. Kinda like a boobie :eek: It will bruise nicely. Once I managed to get out from uder the bike I tried lifting the bike, LMAO!. Unfortunately I have a hernia so I thought Id better get my neighbour to help.
The very first thing I did after that was ring Malcolm. It was horrible, one of the worst things ever! I feel so bad! He is really good about it but he hasnt seen it yet and I have told him but the fairing is pretty scrached up.
Bugger! What can ya do. Im of to get beer.

Malcolm will understand that it was a accident and not done delibertly so try not too worry to much Helen. Shit does happen to the best of us and you did try your hardest to save it from hitting the ground which you have the injuries to prove so. He will be just glad that you are ok as you can fix a damaged bike not a human life. Keep your chin up girl, it will all work out ok for you.

The truth is easier to handle from both sides. Well done.

Hope the shin/foot heals OK. Changing the lever regardless is a good idea.

Why can't more women be like this?

I'd have to tell them straight off. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't.

If my wife dropped my bike, I'd be more worried about her, and I'd prefer she told me. Fairings & levers can be replaced and/or repaired. People can't.

Our boarder dropped my bike last week, smashed the indicator & re-cracked the fairing (was already cracked, and had been araldite'd). I didn't even care that much. I had a spare indicator from last time I'd had to buy one (I could only get a pair) so I bolted it on. No big deal.

BTW peeps - in case you missed it...which I think many of you have....she did ring him straight away so NO she didn't use KB to communicate this news.

Hels is totally straight up - I couldn't imagine her trying to hide it or lie to Mal about it.

oh you poor thing... glad your okay and that your partners all good with it (although he hasnt seen it... he may spend a little time looking at it, but they do get over it). That is why i don't ride my dads or brothers bikes... too afraid of doing just that. I dove under my own bike when did almost the same thing (only was in middle of washing it when i moved it) and i got right underneath it... but meant i had the blackest knee/shin/thigh for a couple of weeks). When my mum put my dads bike down, while he was watching... had just picked up a new bike for sister in law... he picked her up, checked her and then looked at bike... luckily there was no damage at all done.

Good luck for when he gets home, and by the sounds of things save your breath if you are gonna have any chance of surviving the "drowning"!

Personally, I like to guard against this issue by riding a motorcycle that any woman of lesser stature than, say, Number One, can't even lift off the sidestand.

I tried.... Who would've guessed it. Its a friggen hydraulic clutch. Not easy to get. :angry2:

Oh well. I got the beer on the 2nd trip. Of to the beach with Sully and Number One. We're gonna shoot her.

haha, I decided not to partake in the drowning, decided to stay home and clean my dirty bikes. Haven't heard from #1 yet, so maybe they did a good job of drowning Hels and are trying to pump the water from her lungs!

The Lone Rider

8th January 2009, 16:16

Depends if you have a general permission to be on the bike. I've let girl friends have a ride up and down the street on my bike but only when I was there to watch and any other time they aren't to touch my bike.

Anyway.. honesty is always best. And if you are sincere pay for repairs is a good thing to do.

Well today is another day! Big thanks to TSS for getting in a clutch lever that was a perfect match for the original. Learnt something new today as well.... Honda released the VF400's and 500's with hydraulic clutches in the 80's but all other later models used lines..... Just in case anyone cared.

So I put the new clutch lever on took it round the block a few times (there was this little dog I was trying to torment) and she's running sweet. Apparently I didnt do all the scratches that I had thought that i'd done either, so only a few day's of sexual favours required. Malcolm can now take the VFR to Manfeild this weekend. PHEW!

Really? Mates NC21 (VFR400) was hydraulic.... No matter.

Malcolm can now take the VFR to Manfeild this weekend. PHEW!

Might see him there then (along with 150 others).

Yep, that would be correct. My partners bike is an NC21...

You might see *me* there too. If I am allowed out of the kitchen!!

On a side note - My pet mouse Gordie died today. What makes it worse is that his death is my fault as well! :crybaby:

Think I best be getting myself back to work next week!!

yeah - i've tried to break a bike's fall by throwing myself under it a coupla times ........ didn't work for me either :doctor: ...........

full marks for trying though, glad you didn't get too badly battered!

............What can ya do. ......... go get a beer, gal ...... and practice looking REALLY sorrowful for when the lad gets home :apint:

Just tell him you owe him SF (sexual favour) or tell him during a BJ or something.

Some wisdom here, but during a BJ it is gonna be hard for him to understand an explanation of what happened to his m/c.
