The power of jealousy!

Morning all,

I knew that women could be extremely jealous and vindictive, but I never guessed it could be this bad....

Last weekend Mrs. Viking and I decided to take a ride on our bikes. Not too far, just a lap of our favourite road to "blow the cobwebs off" after Christmas.

Mrs. Viking's bike eventually started (it had been sat idle for about 4 months or so and all the petrol in the carbs had evaporated) and sat there idling away happily.

My Falco did it's usual "You haven't started me for two weeks, I'm going to have a hissy fit, reset my dash and sit here." trick. I was at the point of putting the battery charger on her and waiting an hour or two before trying again when Mrs. Viking said "Why don't you take my Ducati? It really needs a run - it's been sat for ages."

I leaned over my Falco and quietly said to her "You have one more chance to start. Otherwise I'm going to put you back in the shed and ride a Ducati. And it's guaranteed to start, unlike you."

One last press of the starter button and she roared into life, sounding very angry and jealous that I'd even think of riding another Italian bike.

So there you go, ladies and gents - conclusive proof that our bikes are indeed capable of jealousy. So be very, very careful how you treat them!!
