I have been thinking of posting this to get a better idea of how to handle a situation that has given me some problems lately. Over the past season I have thought I noticed some extra mileage piling up on my bike. I called my dealer and they told me to bring it in and they would check the odometer to see if it was correct. I did and they verified it was correctly calibrated. Well this went on and on for a couple of months to my dismay. So I made a log of the mileage each time I came back from a ride and low and behold...there was about 100 extra miles each time I started the bike again.

Another visit to the service department confirmed that there is no way the ignition would cause the odometer to jump up in miles and there was nothing wrong with my bike. But, each time I turned on the ignition....another 100 miles showed up. This puzzling event went on and on until one afternoon I stopped home at lunchtime to get somepaperwork I had forgotten and to my amazement....my bike is NOT in the garage and BOTH helmets are gone as well...

I was about to call 911 when my wife and this guy (named "Mike") come riding up the driveway ON MY BIKE! I can tell you right now that they were sure surprised to see me standing there. I must admit I was a bit upset as well because my wife doesn't ride and in fact she is terrified to ride on the back of the bike. Well, she explained that Mike is a friend who has been helping her overcome her fear of riding so she could spend time riding 2 up with me and that she didn't want to tell me about it until she was completely over her fear of riding. Turns out Mike has his MC endorsement and many years experience riding Harley's so I felt a little better about the safety factor and all. Mike seemed a bit nervous and told me he thought my wife was "ready to ride" and he didn't need to help her anymore and had to get back to work and left right away.

My question is this: Do you think Mike should have at least offered to wash the bike or chipped in for gas?

 

She polished his chrome so ya a full tank of gas and a wash would of been exceptable..

 

Sounds kinda fishey to me!How long have you been married and how well do you know this guy named Mike!

 

Since he was "borrowing" your wife, he should at least be paying for the "rental" of your bike.

By the way, do you think Mike would mind if you helped his wife deal with her inexperience in the oral sex area? Seems fair enough to me!

 

You CANT seriously believe this story!!!...

 

?????????????????????????????????? Smells fishy to me.

 

Now that is funny, I don't believe a word of it but it is funny.

 

good story,i think mike is a real lucky guy,if a complete stranger showed up in my driveway,on my bike with my wife on the back, they both would recive an old fashion beat down!!!

 

I am a normally calm and forgiving guy..........but this would have been my response also! I hope this is a "fun" story......please tell me it is!

 

Lol...had me going with the milage question for a second...
