Default Dear Abby

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 recently 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 down the drive, although I can hear a car setting off, as if she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi? I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her. Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to park my Harley Davidson Low-rider next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she comes home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my Harley, that I noticed that the rocker boxes on my engine seem to be leaking a little oil.

Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?






Thanks,

HarleyMan

Dear Harleyman,

Yes you should be able to fix this yourself if you are somewhat handy. Do you have a service manual for your scoot? Cometic makes good gaskets if it is simply a faulty gasket that is leaking. You will have to pull the gas tank to get to the boxes and after that it should be pretty simple as you follow the manual. As for the wife cheating, ask for a 2007 HD in the divorce settlement

It's funny because it's TRUE.

Although this is a good one, It's also a classic...
