The wife rode with me once. As many of you already know . . . I can't drive. Lookout is my problem. Too many things happening at once.

That's why I bought a bike. Her thoughts on her ride were that the acceleration was awesome (it's a 600 and takes off like a slug with both of us on it), but she said she felt a tad bit uncomfortable, not being at the controls, yet hanging out there in the wind like that.

She wants to learn. Her eyes lit up when I said I wasn't trading in, os she could have the 600 to learn on. She's a speed addict like me (shhhhh), so I knew she'd like bikes.

I also knew she would feel less than comfy, with me at the controls of something so powerful and dangerous.

I can't wait 'til she learns to ride. I've been hinting at taking her for another spin, but she doesn't seem responsive. Could it be that dent-riddled Dodge Ram I just totalled? Maybe, she's a smart lady!

the one boyfriend is into harley's but currently doesn't have one. we met because when i was still in the practising stage of riding, he'd sit on his porch to watch me ride by.

the other boyfriend built his own chopper. we met at the aftermarket harley shop.

Damn, girl . . . how many boyfriends do you have? Save some for the rest of the ladies, sheesh!!

sunny · 03-24-2005, 11:29 AM

Pinhy · 03-24-2005, 11:43 AM

My GF has an '04 Gixxer 750. I'm pretty sure me & my '88 can take her, though

Does the bike count as a girlfriend ???
I think it's safer and more trustworthy....

finch20th · 03-25-2005, 10:37 AM

that is great!!! HAND CHECK!!!!

**inspiron** · 03-27-2005, 06:52 AM

My girlfriend rode a Suzuki 250 about 22 years ago, but got rid of the bike when she was pregnant. She's ridden pillion once with me (when I had the 125) to go to a concert, since there was little chance of finding a parking space for the car. However, she's very uncomfortable on 2 wheels, and doesn't want to have anything to do with bikes anymore.

c50tiger · 03-27-2005, 01:21 PM

My wife is about as coordinated as a seizure, and has so far expressed less than zero interest in ever riding - pillion or alone. My ex-wife rode with me a few times, but I usually had less than zero interest in taking her with me anywhere. Had a few girlfriends in college that considered it foreplay

finch20th · 03-27-2005, 08:32 PM

check ou the "things i've learned" forum, and you will see hoe it went!!!

Pinhy · 03-27-2005, 10:54 PM

will you two just get a room already? maybe somewhere in Kansas...that should be about half way!! hahaha

Femina · 03-27-2005, 11:49 PM

I ride so does he. We met over ten years ago b/c of our bikes but never got to know each other well until the last few years..

He is a motorcyle mechanic and i have bikes... it couldnt get any better ( but it does

) I have never ridden on the back of a bike, couldnt give any one that much control.

Now we ride with a bunch of other guys, they consider me the momma of the group ( i yell when the "tricks" get too dangerous)

However.. they still eat my dust when i want them too

Gixxerdale · 03-28-2005, 12:11 AM

My wife used to have her own bike. The last few years she has been my pillion. Lately due to her illness, that's also out of the question. So hopefullly things turn around soon because she wants her own ride again.
