Poor Sap

I don't know what to think about this guy.

I'm afraid of my motorcycle - $2750

I bought this Kawasaki Ninja because I wanted to impress my wife. Her salary is larger than what my salary used to be. I'm self employed now, so I get no salary at all. So I wanted to show her how much money I was making, so on a whim, I bought this bike from the dealership, all cash. But I don't know how to ride motorcycles, and I'm only willing to ride it up and down my street. When I ride it, I get tears in my eyes, not from the wind, like I tell my wife, but because I'm so frightened. Please buy it from me. It has 222 miles on it. It had 220 miles when I bought it. I'm going to buy a new BMW to impress her next time. All cash.

Hmm, sounds like he has some issues and should seek prof. assistance in resolving them. Until then, it might be a good idea not to operate any vehicles. :-\

Could that be a Ninja 250? Even that bike would be intimidating to an un-trained newbie.

Somehow I think it could be a pocket bike that he has a crate under?

IMO, he bought the bike and the couch is not very comfortable. 


Bet he's scared of the wife, not the bike.

Fair enough mate, me too! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
