So when I do stupid shit...

[Dory1988]

I go all out like Leroy Jenkins.  Background is that my husband joined Leathernecks MC this summer (so you know when I'm talking about brothers I mean MC members not blood relatives).  Those guys and their old ladies are pretty much my family around here.  We also recently purchased a furnished home so I'm trying to sell off a lot of furniture.  My husband didn't want me to be home alone if strange men were picking stuff up which is understandable.  One of the buyers said a time was good for them but my husband wouldn't be home so I asked one of the brothers to come over and make sure I didn't get murdered by the craigslist killer.  He stopped by but then the buyer said they wouldn't make it.  

So, since this brother has one of his bikes in the garage, he said we should go outside and he could teach me the basics.  I've wanted to learn for a while so I figured why not.  I was doing really well and then it turned in to a bad youtube video.  I kind of wrecked...into my father-in-law's car.  I didn't want to text my husband and tell him so his brother did.  My husband is pissed.  He doesn't know what the car looks like.  It's not really that bad.  I already called my father-in-law and sent him a picture of what happened to the car and he's basically like "no biggie".  I just really don't need my husband to yell at me when he gets home.  My knee hurts, my pride is definitely hurt, and I'm super embarrassed.  If he comes home and yells at me I probably won't continue pursuing learning how to ride.  Anyway, here's the car and my knee.

I'm glad your not hurt worse! And that your FIL was understanding. Give your H some time, hopefully he'll calm down after he gets over the initial anger. It was an accident and it happens.

Ouch! Glad you are ok and FIL is not super upset about his car.

Seems pretty minor to me. It's common to have little bumps when you're getting used to motorcycle stuff. I've never been on a street bike but I imagine there's less give than being in a dirt field in the middle of nowhere. I guess just ask your H what it is about it that makes him so mad. I mean, fender benders happen to the best of us.

He was mad that I wasn't the one that told him about it but I was kind of trying to deal with my knee first before I texted or called. I mean it's understandable that he felt upset he had to hear it from someone else but I wasn't being a jerk or anything. I was just in pain and trying to deal with that first.

ETA: He's over that now and just feels really bad for me and said he's gonna make me get back on when I'm ready so at least he's supportive.

Well I'm glad he's supportive of you getting back on. I hope you're feeling better today!

Ouch! That sucks. I can't imagine a scenario where I don't crash if I am learning to ride a road bike. I am glad your H came around. It probably scared the crap out of him.

How is your knee today?

Feels like a truck ran me over today but I'm still mobile and it didn't lock up like everyone expected it to so that's a plus.

Aww, I'm sorry you were hurt.

I am glad your hubby is okay now about it.

I'm glad that he came around. DH gets that way with me. He wants to be the first to know because I think he always wants a chance to be there to help.
