Funniest request I have ever heard!

[Dive1082]

A guy walked up to me at 11pm last night whilst I was warming the old girl up and putting on my helmet after coming out of work.

I switched off the bike so I could hear what he wanted....

He said " I have a favour to ask you.  Me and my girlfirend..." he then pointed to a rather attractive blonde across the courtyard... I thought... "oh yeah this is gonna be interesting..."

He said "we live in the appartment up there" and pointed out a nice modern duplex place.

I'm thinking, "Really, this could be really interesting"

He then said "would you mind awfully...."

"Oh Yeah!!" me thinks

He goes "would you mind awfully pushing your bike around the corner before starting it as it wakes my girlfriend and she has to be up early every morning for work!"

I was actually beside myself laughing before I realised he was being serious!  The corner in question is a 3 in 10 hill!!!

I explained to him politely that although I understand that I start my bike at 11pm after work, it is too heavy and precious to start considering pushing it up the hill so his missus doesn't miss out on 2 minutes sleep!

He then asked if instead of starting it and running it for 10 minutes (a slight exaggaration on his part me thinks), could I not just start it and ride off?

I replied that this wasn't a car where you can just get in and go...the engine needs to get up to temp and the oil needs to circulate before setting off.  I also pointed out that it takes about 2 minutes, which is about the time it takes to put on my jacket and helmet!

He thought about this and he had obviously been drinking before saying " I'm not being funny and I am asking nicely, could you push it around the corner...."

My final reply, which seemed to do the trick was "You live in the Centre of London.  This is a 24 hour city, if you want a peaceful nights kip, fuck off to the countryside!!!

With that , he sloped away!  Funny feckers some people eh?

with words like apartment and duplex,  im guessing this was cut and pasted from a us site

Lo no but wanted to express the type of "yuppy" place it was...  Seriously, he wanted me to push the old girl 100 metres up a hill just so I didn't wake his missus at 11 pm when I finished work...

God!  Over polite southern tact again

The boys t'north would have given it to him staright 

He did not even offer to push her (bike not sleeping beauty) up the hill with you 

Interestingly (or not) my K1200RS user manual exhorts the rider in the strongest possible term to NOT  :nono:let the bike warm up before riding off but to get on and go    Must be a marketing tool;  sooner it's buggered the sooner they sell you another

I must admit, one of you two is an inconsiderate

Ya get me? Init though ?

I am actually a Northerner and in normal circumstances would have given him the good ol' Leeds kiss but as he was drunk, and his missus looked ok, I thought I had humilliated him enough.  lol

As for being inconsiderate...I don't think it is unreasonable to start the bike up at 11pm in a huge courtyard in the Centre of London at 11pm.  As I said, I run it for 2 mins whilst I put on my jacket and helmet and then I am off... I would understand it if I was revving the nipples off her but c'mon, on tickover?

The guy was a right hooray Henry.  He even said something about his girlfriends dad having a Harley to try and get some bonding going.... lol  I almost said "Oh a cock is he?" lol  But held my tongue.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  Clarrrss raises its ugly bellend

How come you are working in a residential courtyard at 11 pm?

I meant dive and the guy with the sleeping girlfriend.
To decide who's the  the first question would be, 'rocket launcher or not?'
If first question answered with No second question, 'baffle in or out?'

   it's not really residential.  Some bright architect thought they would build apartments above the offices all around a huge courtyard.

Baffle in as Mr Plod are quite keen around here.  Although I do have a Beowulf system on, it's not bad on tickover.

Well, in that case the verdict has to be - 'What an inconsiderate yuppy  !'
Close the    window and get double glazing you cheapskate  and stop hassling hard working bikers!

Or piss off to the Cotswolds to mummy and Daddy's summer house! lol

I love the midnight blue colour but might add a dash of moon dust for contrast.

Are you in the Docklands? and  in IT?

New flats next to offices will surely have double or triple glass and all that they bring sound proofing wise - n'est pas ?

I can empathise with the man's frustration but saddly, I believe that could be the core issue: He is frustrated

"Darling pleeese!! I have to be up early and there was, after all, the Sunday morning before last.  You need a distraction darling; why not buy a motorbike and wring the  out of it?"

[Dive1082]

PMSL  Yes near Docklands...

Love the analogy of his missus... He had a few beers in him so had the beer muscles but you could see he was a bit hen pecked as his missus started giving him greif when he returned to her and told him my polite answer...

Good job I park under the CCTV camera! lol  Although he did request that I may like to park the baby in a dark disused alley way away from the offices....  I guess you know what my answer to that was!
