Pissed off.

[twostroketit]

Five weeks ago i lent my FZ6 to my brother,because his bike had a bald tyre. I have had that bike from new it is my pride and joy.
I didn't want to, but i got the whole sob story about no money etc etc.
I finally get it back yesterday after it has been ridden and and parked outside in the rain everyday during the wettest spring ever.
The right hand front fork seal is fucked the head bearings are all sloppy and there is a massive scratch on the left side of the frame.
I am so fucking pissed off!
He likes to wheelie,but i told him not to because my chain is not long for this world,it seems he ignored me. I was told that he was seen wheelying at about 90mph but i thought it was a wind up.
What annoys me more than anything is i bought an old XJ650 that i use for work just so my good bike doesn't get fucked.
Has anybody else got leeches for relatives? or is it just me?

Fuck that.

I have a brother who'll use my bike every now and then (little 140cc one) and if he breaks it he is paying for the new parts. But no, nothing as bad as yours!

[ninja_butler]

Yes I have one close relation who is like that, I won't say who just in case she figures out this is me! She borrows things - big or small - and breaks them and won't take responsibility. A lot of people are like that I'm afraid and all you can do is tell your brother NEVER AGAIN. He let you down once and he'll let you down twice if you let him so don't lend him anything else unless you don't mind it not coming back in one piece.

Why didn't you lend him your commuter if your FZ6 is so special to you?

Id definitely have a word. If he didn't give a monkeys then i'd be tempted to kick his bike over and see how he likes it.

He sounds like a young'un. How old is he?

Oh dear, you've ripped your jeans.... you cant go out like that.... tell you what, my jeans aren't great, but I'll lend you my BEST suit trousers.....

NO! just NO! even if he wasn't a fuckwit; you don't do that! You lend the twat your Ratter and YOU ride the 'nice' bike to work for a few weeks!

Bloke cant afford to fix his own tyres..... did you REALLY expect he could afford to fix anything he did to your bike?

Even if it was the ratter, it wouldn't be great odds, would it?

AoE: Cant afford to look after his own bike, cant be arsed to look after his own bike; what's the chances he'll look after yours.

But then... you say the chain was on its last legs so told him no wheelies.... why your "pride and joy", running 'last-legs' components?

I'd be livid man! I'm nervous enough letting my dad ride my Hornet for a few miles, let alone 5 weeks!

I'd let him know how you feel about the condition of it, and possibly even threaten him to pay for it if he thinks you're joking

Stupid to lend it - lesson learnt.

I don't let anyone borrow anything valuable for this reason.
Unless it's a trial run or something quick like a lawnmower, anyone that needs to borrow your stuff is probably poor.

You don't want to lend a poor person your expensive stuff. If they break it, either you bankrupt them by having them fix it, or you have a broken item.

Damage is often hard to quantify as well. If someone drops your bike and smashes a fairing, how do you know there's no mechanical problem waiting to bite you? Just because it works fine now?

No, sorry, if you want to use my stuff, buy yourself one, I had to. No problem with my mates using stuff while I'm there, but not going off with it, they'll start to feel like it's theirs.

[Sako]

i won't loan tools, let alone my bike!

[Pie-Roe]

I'll happily let my old man use any of my vehicles, tools etc. He won't let me use his though.

My sister can't drive yet but when she can I reckon I'd lend her a car. She's stupid, but considerate.

What kind of arsehole would do wheelies on someone else's bike that had been lent to them as a favour
