Grrrrr

A woman backed her minivan into my motorcycle in the parking lot yesterday.

Would any of you ladies care to defend your gender?

There is probably a man somewhere who is responsible for the fact that she has to drive a minivan. :-)

Hope it is not too smushed.

Sorry to hear that bro. I hope insurance covers to damage.

Nice try but weak, very weak. Would you have me believe that minivans are built for and marketed to men so they can force them on their wives?

The bike's okay. I told the husband (who acted as ambassador for his distraught wife) that I will just charge him for the cost of the parts off Ebay.

Oh, and apparently she rear-ended someone just a couple weeks prior...

Sounds like the husband is not living up to his responsibility to take away his wife's driver's license.

Oh, and I think the force of Em's argument had more to do with impregnation than auto design. ;-)

Very good, Jeff. Since you got it, I won't have to ask you all to defend the intelligence and ability to comprehend subtlety of your gender. I'll isolate my challenge to Mr. Radman.

As to the general post, Kevin... There are no words... You're such a provoking little twit. And I know you know it.

You are truly the little brother I never had.

I don't really see what gender has to do with it, but I am truly sorry about your bike. Especially in the springtime, when everyone and his brother is out riding.

A male truck driver side-swiped a young lady's little Toyota with his semi in front of my apartment yesterday (the car was stopped at a red light (the same red light he should have stopped at). Would you like to defend your gender?

BTW, there is a reason that auto insurance is higher for men than it is for women.

Males are involved in a lot of high-speed fatal collisions. Females apparently have trouble manuevering at slow speeds and can easily get spatially disoriented.

However...

"IIHS reported that from 1975 to 2003, female deaths in motor vehicle crashes increased 14 percent compared to an 11 percent decline for male motorists during that same period"
