Bad situation. I need advice

    I've never talked about this before, but I really need advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.

     

    The usual signs... phone rings but if I answer the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out a lot although when I ask who she's with she always replies, “Just some friends from work, you don't know them.”

     

    I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive. Although I can hear a car driving off, as if gotten out down the street. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?

     

    I once picked up her cell phone to see the time and she went crazy, screaming that I shouldn't touch her things and carrying on about her right to privacy... blah, blah, blah.

     

    I finally had enough and decided I would park the bike next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my bike, that I noticed that the valve covers seemed to be leaking oil.

     

    So, is this something I can fix myself or should I take it to a mechanic? Thanks in advance.

    Hahaha, if you are any kind of a wrench, you should be able to take of it yourself.

    good to see someone who gets his priorities right, valve covers have to be treated with great care and attention...as for the missus...reminds me of girl who on a cold wet windy night, gave me a choice...ME, or the bike !...I still miss her.

    Maybe, just maybe your wife's boyfriend is a bike mechanic and will give you a great deal for the wife. I had a friend who got a new bike for his wife and I told him that was a really good deal!

    I just noticed the thread got moved. I guess I posted it in the wrong area. Sorry. Don't worry everyone, all is well. It was just a joke. My bike isn't really leaking oil
