Default what should I do?

I've never talked about this before, but I really need the boards 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 with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, “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 she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn’t in a taxi?

I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.

Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife I think deep down I just didn’t want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.

I decided I was going to park my motorcycle 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 on my engine seemed to be leaking a little oil.

Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it to Hordpower?

get new valve cover gaskets. and don't be surprised if they weep a little. no need to go to hord on this one. save hord for when you need some fancy ported & polished heads.

I laugh cause it's just like a Hawk lover to notice something on his bike while you are investigating something totally different (something more important). For that I laugh and give you a high five

But if the rest of the story is true....I feel for you, it totally sucks and I think you should hire a PI, get the facts, and move on with your life....no need to live your life with someone you can't trust. If your wrong...at least you'll know for sure, if your right...you can be a free man again.

I love my wife, but if I ever caught her cheating on me, I would be out the door that day and never look back, I've known too many guys who get trampled on and it sucks to see that

I don't know if I'm laughing more at the "story," or Stevenjhow...

Don't even worry about the seeping oil..... just make sure the bike is in YOUR name!!!



Oh, and if the story is true.... well, there aren't many hawks in the world, but there are many women

Oh COME ON people.

And Mr. Dude, I've got the same problem after my last valve adjustment. The rear vc gasket is leaking like a sieve.
