Talk to your bike? like after its had a severe thrashing give it a few words of comfort, or say good night to it when you come home late at night to go to bed and its been a 'good girl' the whole way home?

Am i the only person that weird? I would have thought so..

The option I need is:
I pat my bike and say "Hi baby" when it's sat in the garage. I also stroke the tank when it's plinking after a day out. Laughing

Yep - that's the one. Something to do with things contracting I think and fuel gases escaping.

Why?

An amusing post. I have had lunch with my bike after waxing it, much to my wifes disgust! Well she made me some sandwiches and called me from the garage to eat them, I said I would have them in the garage. I think she felt like I was going behind her back with another woman, well I did call my bike her, she.......

I have apologised to my bikes in the past when I have stuffed up a gear., Ghost neutrals!

I need help.... Confused

I don't have a bike at the moment, perhaps thats the for the best.... Smile

Ok Flat Spot. Slowly start to move towards the door. Don't make any sudden movements. If we time it right, they'll be too busy licking the end-can of that R1 in the corner and they wont notice us leave. Slowly..... Slowly............ They say the mad have strength Shocked
If any of them come close to you, hold up that silver car steering wheel i gave you. Legend has it they hate those and can't look at them without a tinted visor Confused

I look at it and say "aren't you a sexy beast then?!"

I haven't talked to it on the road yet, I'm too busy concentrating and trying not to crash it.

I'll occasionally say stuff like "time for us to spend some time together" if we're about to go out, and one time i did a burnout to impress my ex-boss and then got home, apologised to my bike for abusing her, told her i didn't enjoy it, and that she coped well with it. Smile, and thatI'd make it up to her by giving her a full clean the day after - which I did Smile.

I can think of a couple of words id probably say quite frequently if i was sat on top of a 190bhp kwak, i would think "oh shit" repeated again and again would suffice! Smile
i said a few words to my kmx, as i reached the top of a steep hill after pushing the damn thing 1/2mile home. Its actually quite funny now though to think that the engine decided to blow itself up, on the last ride before i took it off the road, for a while, and put in away until my SM building funds have arrived!
