Default This is BS

Supposed to leave at 11 for a 3-4 hour ride out to some little town's bike weekend. 11:45 he calls, oh, the OL doesn't want to go. Ok, then LEAVE HER HOME and get the ***** over here. well, she wants to do "X". Yeah, and we had a little trip PLANNED and BTW, you didn't know this before 11:45? I told him that while she's getting ready to go do X, sneak into her purse, take his ***** back and catch up to me on 95. Can ya tell I'm a LITTLE pissed? (it IS my fault, I should have left at 11) From here on out, the train is leaving the station at the scheduled time weather all the freight is on board or not.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

He could have let you know much sooner. I do like how you told him to grab his ***** back from her though.

This guy has velcro *****, he keeps them in his wifes purse. Sounds to me like he never told her about the ride.

That sucks!! Hope you're on the road high tailin' it to the bike week. I had a couple friends like that, I started telling them we were meeting half an hour earlier than I would tell other people. With a family my saddle time is far and few between so gotta get moving!

i hope your friend has many other sterling qualities, because he is sorely lacking in consideration for others.

My wife goes or she says have fun! One of the guys here on the Forum needed a place to stay one night. He is from Australia and bought a bike in Savannah, GA. Had no idea on how to get to Los Angeles except by interstate. I went up to her and asked if she would miss me for a few days. She said go have fun! Me and Mick took the back roads on our way toward Los Angeles!

I always say, "Kick stands up at 1100 (or whatever time) and we ride" and then I keep to it whether everyone is there or not. I tell them that ahead of time too.
