Dump your bike for a woman?

[FJRBluesman]

I know this can spin out of control quick, I like it that way. :dribble:

Check out this Kaboom link.

This guy has to get rid of his bike first, before the gal will marry him. If I was told to dump my passion before another person would be mine forever, I'd start looking for another forever woman. :yahoo:

My wife met me on my bike, what she saw is what she got, and she got hosed in the deal! I definitely married up!

Never...ever...give up the bike.

Ever.

...My wife met me on my bike, what she saw is what she got, and she got hosed in the deal! I definitely married up!

From all the FJR meets I've been to...I can honestly say that last part of your statement is true for 99% of the FJR owners I've met.

Holy Crap. :lol:

Well I can relate to it, but I have to admit, my ex wife's stance was the first and the last nail in the coffin. So I promoted her to ex and gave her the boot.

My forever wife and I made clear when we dated, that no matter what, we will always support each others likes...... Today I have three bikes and she's got one trike worth my three bikes :lol: .

But this matter is a big one,Mack in my early Tweens when that happened to me, I wouldn't have thought so, yet came to regret this very quick.

So in essence, only when pigs fly or hell freezes over am I willing to give away my bike for a gal....... And then you need to prey it off my cold dead hands ....

On a side note, it's blaspheming what they did to the bike... Those fockers don't know what they're doing, and so is the groom....

 

[dcarver]

Yep.

 

[rushes]

Need pics of the woman.

That Tara Conner is a cute lil thing, huh?

Huh? :blink:

Oh....

I'm sure you've placed moi in the remaining 1% ....

They shoulda blew up the guy.

"Petey the stunt monkey"?!

Does my buddy from Oklahoma know about this!

We need more vid of Tara running... Run Tara Run!

I hope that dude figures out real soon what a stupid decision he made. Nobody has the right to tell you what you can or cannot do with yourself. If she don't like it, **** her. Then find someone else that does like it, and **** her for longer!

He will end up sneaking out for rides, riding when he claims to be working late. She will see shifter scuff marks on his left shoe and divorce him for "cheating".

I have seen the future

Oh Man! This flashes me Back to Matthew a few years ago. That poor bastard got the "it's me, or the Bike" and he chose Her. I'll bet that didn't go well for him because that first cave in leads to an endless string of more and more "it's me, or (Fill in the Blank Here!).

That's the Worst Possible way to start a relationship. Not No!! But, **** NO!! :lol: I see it Ain't Just Me! :yahoo:

I consider the bike a very selfish toy in that it does no good for anyone in the house except me. No one else benefits from it, unless you consider that it makes me a happier person. However, given that sort of ultimatum, I would have to keep the bike. If you aren't going to compromise at the start, you certainly aren't going to be willing to compromise later.

The groom has no balls but it won't matter. He won't be given permission to use them anyway.

She is carrying his Balls in her Purse! "I'll let you borrow them, when I think you need them!" :bye2:

Yikes! That just made my Testicles crawl back up into my Abdomen! :cold:

Give up a bike for a woman? No, but Marisa Tomei hasn't asked yet, and that might make a difference.

On a more serious note, however, I gave up my bike for kids with no hesitation. They're grown now, and were initially appalled that I would resume riding motorcycles.

(What kind of a guy rides a bike named "Petey?" Really, man?)

 

[Redfish Hunter]

It occurs to me that we could be getting worked up for nothing. We never saw the bride or the groom did we? Is it possible that this was a Same Sex marriage? It gives a whole new perspective to "I want you to blow your bike up!"

MEM - You are definitely in the 1%

Uncle Hud - I respect you giving up the bike for kids. Some do that not wanting to possibly let their kids be fatherless if the worst happened.
That being said… My kids grew up with me on bikes, they all had their own dirt bikes for a time, it wore off and they don’t want to ride anymore as adults, but if I stopped riding they’d think something was wrong with me and would be baffled why I gave it up. They support my passion and live it with me so it’s not an issue.

Relatives, co-workers, and my doctors question why I ride and that I should not ride. My wife has never even broached that subject with me, she knows, and doesn’t mind me riding. After 25 years, I’d hope she’s ok with it.

Yep -- that was hilarious. We tried to tell him but he sold the bike anyway. An '07 FJR wasn't it? His dream bike, he said. And then, what was it, a month before the marriage was off -- something about her friends that finally got him to realize she was shallow and selfish. Sheesh!

If your fiance has to change you, then he or she is doing you a HUGE favor insisting on it BEFORE the wedding by letting you know it isn't ever going to work. Take the hint and LEAVE. Fast! And don't look back!

Ask Matthew. IIRC, he was was from the Fresno, CA area -- I remember Toecutter bringing that one here from a local board and then Matthew showed up to the debate on her side of the "take the testicles away" argument. Wonder what he's chained to nowadays.

Ever see the movie A Boy & His Dog (1975 with Don Johnson & Jason Robards)? That movie explored some of the same issues as this thread. The entire movie is great but at least check out the last five minutes (from the 1 hour 25 minute mark).
