Finished work at 30 mins past midnight, ride onto my drive.....
Turn off the engine....
Go to put the bike on the stand.....
DROP THE BUGGER ONTO MY WIFES CAR AND PUT A DENT IN THE SIDE!
I have two options as she is not back untill later from a works party..
Lie or say some one hit me when I was parked up in the park earlier today.
What would you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Tell her the truth man. She will murder you if she finds you out later.
-
O man Im dead, I will leave you my new boots in my will.
-
Do not lie, tell the truth.
-
:duh: Whoops!
Don't lie, man! Women always know... I don't know how, but they do.
You -should- be ok -if- you promise to get it fixed ASAP, and actually do it. Maybe. If your lucky.
Say... if not, can you leave me your bike? :lol:
Good luck!
-
Admit it then grovel and tell her how bad you feel. Then hope for the best.
-
What size did you say your boots were :bigok: :wink:
-
Tell her the truth and give her a good foot massage!! I can get out of about anything with my wife If I perform a stellar massage. :lol:

Isn't option 2 really option 1?
I agree with everyone else... option 3, the truth. While it may get you in hot water, it's not the boiling acid she'll throw on you if you lie and she ever finds out.
Think of it if it was the other way around and she came home late and tired and knocked your bike over with her car while you were away. Wouldn't you want her to be honest and up front about it?
-
Lie like a rug............man she can't handle the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding. I would fess up, apologize, and offer to have it fixed for her.
-
Well Im still alive and I even told her the truth!
Well sort of.... said it fell off the stand not that I dropped it due to being stupid!
I just cant belive I bloody done it what a fool.
Its not only the bike I love but also the attitude of other bikers its like a big family, My new neighbour who I have never even met is a biker and heard what happend and knocked on my door and gave me his spare mirror rod to replace the one I snapped in my foolish moment.
Getting a bike has opened up a new social life :)

It really does, Its a nice experience when you're pulled over on the hard shoulder scratching your head and wondering why your bike won't go, and most or all of the bikers that pass pull in and ask if they can help.
You dont see that with cagers.
-
Uh....what happens if she happens to check your bookmarks and comes to this site? Happens to read about your tactics? Could get real ugly then.
-
The thread could disappear if he fears that...
-
Good point!
I have hidden all traces so it should be ok!!!!
-
What kind of car and how new is it??
How bad is the damage? Is the paint scratched or creased?
These are all factors in the repair options.
I was in your wifes shoes a few months ago. I was doing the first oil change (1000 miles) on my new HEMI Ram. She came home and lowered the garage door down onto the open hood of the truck, scratching and gaugine the sh!t out of it with the metal door handle. I was pissed, but what can you really do other than be pissed for a wile.
-
The main damage is where the ball on the end of the accelerator has punched a hole in the side of the drivers wing and a few dents here and there.
The car is only a few years old its a Kia Shuma 11, you can just about see it in my icon behind my bike.

What's the drivers "wing"? Are you saying it punched a hole through the DOOR!!?! :shock:
-
Yes its the side panel on the drivers side over the wheel arch.
The hole has not gone all the way through but its very close to it.
-
I think it's called fender in the states and wing in the uk
-
When we had them, the little vent windows in the drivers doors used to be called 'wing vents' in the US. Sure miss them......
:duh:
I tipped my Bandit over against my car once. The $120 Rifle windshield I had on then broke....... :shock:
Not a scratch on the Ford I had then.....
-
All the KIA dealers near me have Buy One Get One Free on everything on the lot! With all the rebates and stuff you can get a brand new KIA RIO for $6,999 and get a second one for $1. That TWO new KIA's $7,000 US :shock:
As far as the damage goes, it sounds like you'll need some bondo and a paint job. If you don't get it repaired, you should at least touch it up... paint over any bare metal to prevent rust. Once it starts, it's a pain to get rid of.
-

Yup, the Brit's wing is the Yank's fender... and the Brit's mudguard is the Yank's fender.
A few Brit/Yank car part differences
hood/roof
bonnet/hood
boot/trunk

Oh, he lives in the "other" Birmingham!
Sooo....what did you do?

:shock: :shock: :shock:
Holy shiite, Manny. Only 1000 miles too! I did that to the wife's tailgate on her SUV. I fixed it pretty well with rubbing compound and touch up paint. I figured if I spent $500 on it at the body shop, something else was going to happen to it anyway.
That's the way it always seems to happen. When things are brand new, something happens to mess it up. That's one reason to buy a used car or bike.
