Bikers can't be married...

[cowboyz]

So i commute on my bike. I have been working for a couple of months at this place and it was my 15 yr olds bday on the weekend. I mentioned during smokeo break that i ahd got one of the new Ipods for his birthday and he was real happy about it.
the conversation continued like this..

me: yeah., we woke him up at 1am when I got home (I work nights) on his birthday to give it to him
him: you went round to his place at 1am?
me: ummm, what? no.. I went home. hes only 15! he still lives at home
him: he lives with his mother?
me: ummmm.. well, he lives at home with me and my wife, yes.
him: oh, you are your wife live together?
me: of course we do... what?
him: oh, but you ride a motorbike?
me: what now? huh?
him: but you cant be married and ride a motorbike. It just cant be done.
me: what now?
him: the two just dont go together. All the married people I know dont ride motorbikes, and all the motorbikers are single.
me: ummmmmmmmm. well except me.......... what now?



he was serious too. he assumed that because I ride a motorbike then I must be at the very least, seperated......

????????????? what now?????????????

Amazing how some people think! You wonder what was in his juice that day

Well then he'd be completely gobsmacked to learn that there are women who ride who are not butch muff munching dykes who hate men. In fact we are happily married to riders! Male ones!

I love people like that. In a very early post of mine I told the tale of a social interaction with a particularly hen pecked looking individual outside of our local Push-n-Shove (Pak n Save to the uninitiated) and his Rotweiler (Woops I meant wife) regarding This very thing.

I told him my Wife wanted me to sell my bike (had 250 at the time) cause it wasn't big enough. Oh the hilarity!

Perhaps he only knows two people, and is applying similar statistical methods to those used by ACC

did you borrow a honda for the day? he might of just assumed you was....well you know....

[cowboyz]

well, this one time... at band camp.. I rode a honda...........

I swear I read it in my Suzuki manual back when I started riding.

It was in Japanese characters - so I can't be definite, but the symbols looked like it said:

"Bike Warning - wife low"

but wife could be oil - my Japanese was crap, now its non-existent.

The gobsmacking would be exacerbated (like 'masturbated' but not) then by learning that my wife made me buy my current bike.

yep shows the danger of stereo types. It was my wifes suggestion that I sell the 2nd cage and buy my bike with the proceeds and she's the one who tells me to "go out and ride it's a lovely day."

Disappointing.

My partner and I both ride. We were both riding before we met. In fact we met through riding. However, neither of us will be a passenger!

We have an article cut out from the Herald with the headline "Key to a Successful Marriage: Seperate Motorcycles".

How true!

If my woman ever tried to stop me from riding a bike. I,d pull the plug and let all her air out..
