So I walk into the garage to get the bike ready for a ride I've been planning all week. I notice a HUGE oil spill underneath the bike. After calling the boys to tell them I wouldn't be riding, I frantically searched for the oil leak and about to call my dealer to get my bike picked up. Then I put 2 & 2 together after finding no leak....
My dad stopped over and put some oil underneath the bike to simulate the leak!
I fell for it hook, line, and sinker!
Anyone else suffer any bike/non-bike related April Fool's hi-jinx yet?
30 years ago today I had just gotten into work when I got THE phone call from the wife. After 5 minutes of quit bustin my ***, I realized that SHE WAS IN LABOR! First one was born on April 1!
Not bike related but I got a mass email from our CSM (Command Sergeant Major) telling us that we have been extended. The thing is when you are deployed days like this don't come to mind because the days all just run together so I fell for it and had a meeting with all my soldier's until one informed me that it is April 1st.

Didn't happen on April 1st, but when I bought my current bike 18 years ago, one of my "buddies" pulled that trick on me on my first overnight run. What tipped me off was I got up early and pulled the cover off the bike on the way to breakfast. There was no oil under the bike then, but when I walded by after breakfast, there was a quart of oil under the bike. It made no sense that oil would appear under a bike that hadn't been moved.
