What to do with ex girlfriends gear?

[yamihoe]

I wouldn't bombard her with all this practical stuff right away though, let the emotions settle first for both sides and then see how to deal with that kind of stuff

just dont think like a guy, (rationaly) think like a woman (emotional)
(no complaining at that being sexist, its not, its a fact that women rely on emotions to make decisions and men think with their logic in MOST people)

let the storm settle before launching that ship my friend!

All that stuff you can buy new one later on... it's just money that you spend...

Who said freedom is free? Give her everything she wants and buy new... been there, done that! I walked away with my cage, my clothes and few tools after my divorce. It all worth it.

Many singin the same song here. . . (either D'd or broke up), buying the FZ settled my dilemma for once and for all. Come to think of it, the anniversary of Raven is Tomorrow!

Good luck no matter the outcome, and remember...

"If you love something set it free, if it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it" JUST KIDDING!!

Hope it all works out for you!

I will admit a have been putting off my response for a while, but I realise that its not fair to everyone who took time to put in their advice and kind words. Unfortunetly, things went about the way I thought they would. Im not going to turn this into a "cool story bro" post, but its extremely disappointing. She is planning on returing the gear with the rest of my belongings so you will see a "for sale" post sometime in the near future. I told her to keep it incase she met another guy with a bike but she said that she couldnt wear it. Someone was asking the sizes of the gear: Jacket- small, pants medium, helmet small, boots I dont remember (something small). im keeping the gloves. I will post more about that later.
Thanks again

You are a gentleman.

Good luck and keep your chin up. Most things have a way of working themselves out for the better.

I'm really sorry that your relationship has ended. I am glad that you were both able to discuss what to do with the gear.
I wish you both happiness in the future.

my $.02 - wait a while, until things have calmed down, and you're giving eachother back random stuff. You'll still have feelings for her (indefinitely), and if she keeps riding you'll want her to still be safe. Sort of similar situation, my ex (~3 year relationship) offered to give me back my deceased grandmothers earrings I had given her. I declined, but asked for something else back (don't remember what, it was years ago). On the other hand, my current girlfriend was engaged before me, and when that went south, she gave the ring back (jokes that she didn't like the cut anyhow) but kept the mattress (very comfortable:rockon. So I guess I'm saying give it some time and don't press the issue.

If you do get it back, sell that sh*t and buy yourself/your bike something nice!

Best of luck sir.

Nah, just thank her for all the good times, smile, and walk away.

Yep. Might not be a bad idea to hang on to at least the helmet though...you know, just in case. Unless money is no object for you, and you can buy "spares".

I still need to get a spare helmet in a slightly bigger size (mine is an XS, Rob wears an XL...we'd like to have a medium kicking around) just so if a friend wants to come with us, we will have an assortment of gear that he/she could wear. Doesn't have to be for a future g/f, just a spare.

 

[McLovin]

Your next date is going to appreciate you owning a spare girl helmet. So will you.

 

[Wearyeyed]

Stuff the gear, strap it to the pillion.

Doesn't eat much, doesn't complain, doesn't talk back, and can assume whatever shape you happen to be into on any given day.

(Not my advice; stolen from one of my classier friends. )

So i didnt read any other comments because i have the best idea. If shes got a banging body find another honey that can fit in it and make this new chick your smash piece. If she was a big girl let her keep the **** and holla at some sexy honeys.

Nah, just thank her for all the good times, smile, and walk away.

100% the right thing to do. Sorry about the split up. I hope it stays cordial.
