Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

Awesome stuff!! My mom didnt like the KTM Duke when i decided to buy it. She said "iska pet itna kyu bahar nikla hua hai?" (Why does it have a protruding tummy) :P She agreed to let me buy my duke on the condition that I will ride it at 40kmph only. Her words, "Kasam kha tu sirf 40 pe chalayga" (Promise me you will always ride @ 40 kmph). My excuse now : This bike doesnt run properly on 40 :P

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

LOL! Same excuse here. Occasionally my wife would scream from the pillion seat, if I'm doing 45-50 kph in narrow/street roads. I'd casually show her the speedo and say: "See dear, I'm only at 45, my bike will get knock if I ride it slower"
And once in a while when she isn't convinced, I deliberately upshift and let the engine snatch a bit - and point out - see, this is what happens when I go below 40

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

Hehe Thanks for this great idea..Even I will do that. Since I too have a wife now :P

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

Came across this thread today, i was laughing out lout reading all the posts, and the replies from their Better half's.

Anyways, here's mine :

Me : Honey, how's my new P220.
Her : Nice, it looks same like Hunk.
Me : *sigh* Its not HUNK! This has 21bhp, has a top speed of 144kmph. *blah blah*
Her : All the bikes look same to me.


Me : Honey, look at that, Duke 200 and the Duke 390. They have got *blah blah * horsepower *blah* acceleration. *blah* *blah*.
Her : ermm.. It looks like a cycle to me !
Me : *sigh*

P.S : now Duke does look like Cycle to me as well, she ruined the looks of Duke for me.. :/
P.P.S : Never-mind, 44bhp on the 390 is to drool for !

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half


Should we take it as you will be getting married soon , or not any time soon ??

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

ROFL!!!
Couldn't stop laughing for a long time reading all the pussywhipped comments!!

I learnt my lesson as a kid..
When in college, Parents would not allow me to go near a bike...Then as the years went by, house, car, wife, kid etc took precedence..
So when it was time to do what was necessary, I did not ask anyone or tell anyone, just went ahead and bought my ST7 and parked below the house for all to see!!!
No comments once the damage was done

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

Just like the way we all look and think that all sarees looks the same

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

Fresh one...(just minutes ago)

Me and wifey at a Honda showroom to book a Trigger for a mutual friend. Wifey (being the semi-bikerni) pulls me along to discuss bikey stuff with another salesman. All goes fine will we reach a poster of Honda's VTX1300 chopper-cruiser. She suddenly turns to the salesman and asks...

"Oh, you sell Harley bikes too? How much does that one cost?"

Facepalm!!!!!!!!!

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

Once i had an encounter with my gf (my wife currently )

Me: I am planning to buy an Royal Enfield
Wife: You mean the one with the big-a** tank that looks like a pregnant cow
Me:
Wife: ok ok. How much dos it cost, why it has big engine, what is 500, why it is all spokes and not having alloys like in my frends splendor
me: again
Wife: I am just asking..since I will be coming with na in future...so thats why.

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

A small contribution to the thread from my side;

My gf of 6 years' reaction to the bikes i've had:

Ideal Jawa (2009)
Me: 2 stroke! Retro looks... bla bla bla bla!
She: Why does this bike sound like a mosquito repellant vehicle? (Literal translation to tamil - Kosu Vandi) - Heart broken

Machismo 350 (2012)
Me: The RE is the way to go! What a beast!
She: Sounds like a tractor. How will i ride such a heavy vehicle! Let's break up! - Sold the Machismo.

RE Std 350 (G2) (2013)
Me: This is vintage!
She: So you just repainted the old bullet to black and are you telling me that it's a different one? Are you underestimating the intellect of a woman? - Sold the G2

Checked the Duke 390, Hyosung GT 250 and the Ninja just to observe her reaction.
Duke 390 - Slashed off the list - "Where will i sit? On your head?"
Hyosung GT 250 - The big chested quote, and boy oh boy! I hightailed out of that showroom!
Ninja 300 - She was actually sold out on the ninja and loved it! I was surprised! Unfortunately low on funds

Finally showed her a baby Ceeber, her reaction;
"The Ninja will kick it's a**!"

Bought the Ceeber with a mile wide smile, taught her how to ride it, still going strong, both woman and bike!

Re: Quotable quotes from your better half

had a similar conversation before a year... me: look at this trailer video of ktm RC 200!!!gf: (halfway through the video bored) looks like black R15 what is so special about it?!me: full technical description with occasional praising about the bikes aerodynamics, design etc;gf: ok why are you interested in telling me about this bike??me: I will buy it, that is why!!!gf: (who was all cold and uninterestedly calm, out of nowhere went crazy) furiously where should I sit?!!me: (coldly) dear just for your comfort I cannot fit a sofa on the bike...also from aerodynamic (blah blah) point of view its important for design (blah blah) space is not a problem as many girls have sat on even smaller rear seat. (opens google to show models sitting on superbikes) gf: (in rage mode) your dio is sufficiently comfortable for me to sit. are you mocking me by calling me fat?!!! (rage intensifies) you expect me to look like those models too!!!me: (realising where the matter was heading) no dear all I meant was that from design aspect it is required and I would never compare you with other girls it was only for demonstration purpose only!!!gf: you are so mean to me!!! (almost crying) neither do you love me or have concern for me...you want models instead of me...I hate you!!!me: baby listen to me!!!(few more word of consolation) after a few hours...my gf became my EX-gf the very same day...
