Today, the girl who likes me incredibly much asked me if she could come for a ride with me on my motorcycle. Normally this isn't a problem as I take lots of people out for rides for fun, but this time I had no choice but to tell her she couldn't because she's just too heavy for it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the girl of my dreams asked me if I wanted to go biking with her. "Just the two of us," she said. I had to turn her down because I'm 17 years old and never learned how to ride a bike. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were driving around town in his car. To my surprise he took me out to lunch. As we were leaving, a girl walks up and asks if he had room for one more for a ride, sadly he only has two seats in his car. Guess who had to walk! FML
Today, I pulled my motorcycle into a wheelie when my crush drove by. She was the one who drove me to the hospital when I went over backward. FML
Today, I took off the training wheels of my niece's bike. I tried to show her how to ride it, but she told me to get off because I needed a "fat girl's bike." FML
Today, my girlfriend was driving me to her house against my will when I said, "Sometimes it's annoying that you always decide where we go because you drive." She replied, "Yeah, I wish I could be more of the girl in this relationship." FML
Today, the girl I like was panicking because her car broke down, so I offered her a lift to wherever she needed to be. I drove her to her boyfriend's house. She asked me to drive her home in the morning. FML
Today, I agreed to go on a bike ride with my boss, even though I think he's crazy. We rode for a few miles, then he decided it was time to merge onto the freeway. FML
Today, I was cuddling with the girl I've been seeing for the past few months. She was saying how much she liked me and how much I meant to her. Reciprocating those feelings, I asked her to be my girlfriend. It was a HARD no for her. Then she drove me an hour and a half home. FML
Today, I watched my fiancé ride off on my motorcycle with another girl. FML
Today, my friend and I offered a hot girl a lift home from campus. I was sitting in the passenger seat and she climbed in behind me. As I adjusted my seat forward to give her more leg room, my friend pulled off - slamming my seat back into her legs. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
She's wrong for asking, she knows her ass was too big. Watch out OP, it's a trap.

As a heavy girl myself who doesn't know anything about motorcycles, I wouldn't even guess that I might be too heavy to ride. Especially with the variety of shapes and sizes that I see riding on the road. I doubt she knew.

It also depends on the make and model of the motorcycle. Some of them can take a lot of weight, some are delicate little fairy bikes.

All the people who thumbed me down, must've been told they were too big to get on a motorcycle. Haha!

I'm definitely not too big to ride a motor cycle and I thumbed you down. You were thumbed down because your comment is insensitive and moronic.
trellz17 19
Boo hoo! Stop being so sensitive, there's worse things in the world than being too big for a motorcycle.

God you're a jerk, trellz. I normally try to find a witty charismatic way to tell others that they're awful, but I feel this is a case where it should just be said outright.
trellz17 19
I'm not a jerk and I'm definitely not awful. You don't know me and I don't know anyone on here personally. I was joking, I mean no harm to anyone on this site. Sometimes it's fun to just....pester people.

Yeah, hopefully she understands, but also, views it as an opportunity. Maybe set herself the goal of being able to go on a ride with OP after certain period of time. Fear of an impending heart attack caused me to lose weight, so maybe possible love can be her catalyst.

I wonder if it's because of a weight limit for the bike. Y'all know how elevators have up to like 2000 pounds that they move? Maybe the combined weight of the dude and girl would be too much for the bike.

it's not nessecarily that the bike can't handle it. if she is too heavy and he turns a corner her weight will cause the bike to topple over. the bike can most likely handle her weight it's the driver who can't compensate for it.

Especially if she's never ridden before and doesn't know how to safely shift her weight. Hell, a smaller person that's never ridden has to learn this. I agree, both of your safety was top priority. I would accept a kindly said decline, than both of you never being able to ride again.

Thanks 53! I've never ridden motorcycles so I wasn't sure what the whole deal was :)

It's more than likely a handing issue. I've driven dirt bikes before and if the weight isn't distributed correctly, for example, all of it being in the back, it can make for either a bad ride, or a serious safety issue. It also might be the seat for the rider is one of the smaller ones that is just big enough to make it legal.

Tell her to lose weight so she has an incentive to get a ride on the bike

Wow, just wow.

Then you need a new bike.
confused_wandere 26
Because we can all afford to buy a new motorbike purely to benefit one person.

Just be honest. you're already a good person for caring...

You did the right thing.. It is better than her sitting down on the motorcycle and it breaking from her weight since that would be much more humiliating... similair situation (not a motorcycle situation) happened to me when I was too overweight and no one had the guts to tell me I was too heavy.

What did you tell her, OP?
