Adventure - we've done some great trips with awesome friends.

And Other - our time together on the Concours in the last 15 months has been some of the best quality time I've spent with Cablebandit in our 18 years together.   Inlove

It's something I have actively done since I was in high school. I'm 65. EEK! Smile Motorcycles are just a big  part of my life. Shrug and I can't see that changing anytime soon.

Actually?  With the SENAs?  We talk more...about everything and nothing and anything in between.  When we run out of stuff to say, we click over to music, but we wind up talking again before too long.

Twas' a joke, hence the duck behind the couch  Lol

Actually, I think it's pretty cool to a see a couple like you two, brought together by motorcycling. My g/f is not happy on the back of a sportbike, I may have to look for something she enjoys more so we can ride together more Thumbsup

Get rid of a sportbike. Buy something you BOTH (esp. her) are comfortable on. Best money ever spent. Might save thousands on counseling.

For me it's hugely therapeutic (ultimate stress reliever), an excellent pastime, and a way to enjoy and appreciate the local scenery.  Not to mention the one thing the wifey lets me dump wads of cash into...
