Major opportunity for a double-entendre missed there. Shame on you. You could have said it like this:
"She'll never want to touch your stick again. So she won't be able to blow it."
"She'll never want to touch your stick again. So she won't be able to blow it."
Nice Save DD!

Since 2006, the clutch is covered for normal wear and tear. Not for abuse aka riding it.
out of warrant by ~45 days...plus I think you're wrong

It's usually bad if a sentence starts with the three words "My Wife Blew" unless the fourth word is "Me"
At least she should!! Good Luck with the repairs ETC.!

You have a 2005 so it will never apply. Since 2006, the clutch is covered under the service agreement and not warranty.
