Relationship Tips Redux

October 12, 2007 by David Longdon Leave a Comment

Reader Mike Stafford from Eugene, OR forwarded this link for a Prenuptual Agreement for the Biker.

This agreement defines the parties involved as Spouse A, the non biking loved one; Spouse B, the biker; and The Bike itself.

Condition II reads:

Cohabitation Spouse A and Spouse B shall agree upon comfortable and equal living quarters for The Bike, its related service equipment and riding gear. The Bike shall only be exposed to the elements of nature during rides. All other times The Bike shall have access to warm, dry, low traffic living space. If at any time there should be conflict w/ SA, SB, or furniture, The Bike shall have preference as to where it stays. In SA’s absence The Bike shall be permitted bedroom space (italics mine) (if not already arranged).

Ok, fine. But what kind of hell is going to break loose if Spouse A returns home and finds chain lube in the bed…or worse notices the distinct odor of burnt rubber lingering around the house?

I stick by my previous recommendation of never ever parking the bike in the bedroom. Spouse A is out of town for a few days and the next think you know an innocent little “maintenance” session gets carried away…and Spouse B is sleeping on the couch for the next month.
