Biker who is full time carer for wife

[Destrier54]

I have now become a full time carer for my wife who has had a stroke. I am a biker with a Kawasaki Cruiser. I am looking to chat or meet bikers in similar circumstances who would like to go out for weekday afternoon runs. My location is Leicster.

Who would look after your wife while you are out fucking about with the lads?

[Rogerborg]

Sorry to hear about your wife.

You'd probably be better off posting in the appropriate Regional section. Dear Auntie BCF is more for the entertainment of the unwashed masses than actual heart-to-hearts.

Sorry to hear about your wife.

How is my question be abusive?

Creepy OP, almost smells like spam

The guys listed his home telephone number in his profile like a derp
and it's a Leicester area code so is legit
Also, worst spelling of destroyer ever

Sorry about your wife.

It's not abusive, just your usual brand of drivel. I can see how people who don't know enough to ignore you might find it confrontational though

@OP - Probably best to introduce yourself with a bit more flair and get to know people, as others have said there's a regional forum that's probably better for looking for people to ride with. There are quite a few decent folk on here, even Cansa can be alright when he's not trying to shock and be clever

You and your wife should attend the BCF BBQ.

@Cansa - It sort of did come across a bit like, "oh you need to look after your wife, unlucky, tough shit, go and do it, you're not cool enough because you have a strange burden that nobody else has." It was just a little brash toward the poor guy.

@Alpha - 'Destrier' Maybe it's his surname? I read it in French - something like 'destree'eh'?

OP: Hopefully the missus will be ok.

Really interesting video here - Harvard neurological researcher describes her first-hand experience of a stroke - clicky

Hi Destrier.

I have a mate who is full time carer for his wife who has Multiple Sclerosis. I saw him a few weeks back after not having seen him out for YEARS, and it was great to see him out and about and relaxing. I felt selfish cos I wanted him to say, but he said he had to go home early cos of his wife was waiting for him to get back.

So hopefully you can get out a bit and have some "you" time too and maybe catch up with some of the nicer peeps on this forum, cos from time to time, believe it or not, *most of us* can be quite a nice bunch

(and don't take any notice of the "cruisers are for fags" mentality of many people on here, either) ... some people think it, but if there was no other bike available, and it was a choice between walking home 150 miles or riding a cruiser, I'm pretty sure almost all the people here would ride a fuckin cruiser
