It’s his wife’s fault, so she should take the bike back to the dealer.

Dear Abby…..A story adapted for Trials riders

Post by Neo »

Dear Abby,

I’ve never written to you before, but I really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision. I’ve suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.
The usual signs….phone rings…but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the girls a lot. Although when I ask their names, she always says “Just some friends from work, you don’t know them”. I always stay awake to look out for her Taxi coming home. But she always walks up the drive. Anyway, I have never approached my wife on this subject. I think deep down I just didn’t want to know the truth. But last night she went out again, so I decided to really check on her.
I decided I was going to park my 4RT Trials bike next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home.
It was at that moment, crouching behind my bike, that I noticed the valve cover on the engine seemed to be leaking a little oil. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?

Dear Reader

This was always a plan doomed to fail. Even a 4RT trials bike is too small to hide behind unless you to are a very small. Perhaps you are that small, this could explain your wife's late night activities or have you suffered an injury riding a motorcycle with no seat????

With regard to the oil leak, what do expect from a Honda in wolf's clothing? Just wash it well and leave it in the back of the shed before you get into more trouble!

Yours truely

Abby

Here is a man that would risk parking his new bike out in view of the street to perhaps find out the solidity of his wife's marriage vows? Obviously not a true trials rider! Oil leaks can be repaired easily, but this bloke needs to get his priorities right. Get the bike fixed and if it's unreliable (like the wife) get another brand!

Your pragmatic agony aunt,

Questions

Post by Starky »

Some questions :shock:

In relation to your wife,
1. Is she worth while keeping?
2. What have you neglected in her up keep?

In relation to your bike?
1. Is she worth while keeping?
2. What have you neglected in her upkeep?

Moral in the questions - treat your bike like your wife and your wife like your bike and enjoy each equally. :lol:

If this is not an option, bikes are cheaper to replace. :idea: :wink:
