a quad bike Hmm

I have no problem with his original idea of a motorbike but a quad brings up images of some prat trying to look cool and failing miserably.

On a farm etc is great but not driving on the main roads to get to work.

Am getting a red neck just thinking about it.

Oh you poor love Sad

Have you not seen any indicators that he's like that before?

Kayano · 28/07/2011 18:53

Leave the bastard

GreenEyesandHam · 28/07/2011 18:54

Ugh. Your DH is now turning my stomach.

That made me smile... Things that put me off my ex included quad bike, wearing football strip, sometimes taking his shirt off in public, etc. YANBU.

Stranded - even if you don't wear a helmet? (Like they do round here)

worraliberty · 28/07/2011 19:13

If he doesn't already have a scrawny grey ponytail, may I suggest you buy him a stick on? Grin

Really stranded?

I just don't "get" them!

I think he would look like a knob!

I think it is a early midlife crisis, he is suddenly obsessed with river island and converse after years of me having to dress him.

He is only 35btw but seems to be regressing at a alarming rate!

I suppose a quad bike is better than trying to shag 19yr old blonde secretaries?

Marginally.

RightUpMyRue · 28/07/2011 19:27

YANBU. He sounds ill.

ChaoticAngelofGryffindor · 28/07/2011 19:29

It's cheaper than a Ferrari Grin

Tell him to get a motorbike and stop being a pansy.

Not sure if I am feeling better or not that most people seem to agree with me?

Did chuckle out loud at the pansy comment though :D

No, no no. Quads are an utter nuisance round where I am. (urban setting) The engine noise is bloody annoying & loud & they're always being driven by scrotes. Some of them love to ride them in the park next to my house, where they destroy the greens & scare off the nice people who use the park, e.g. dogwalkers & families.

Horrible things. The sound of one is enough to make me break out in hives. When the police publicly crushed some confiscated ones in our local supermarket car park I cheered!

SnapesPlaything · 28/07/2011 20:05

Agree with alowVera, tell him to be a real man and get a Harley.

FreudianSlipper · 28/07/2011 20:19

i feel embarassed for you

imagine it being parked outside, oh the shame. agree tell him that a real man would get a harley and that they are hot

nocake · 28/07/2011 20:22

All the downsides of a motorbike with none of the benefits (like being able to jump traffic queues). He's an idiot.
