Does your significant other ride his/her own motorcycle?

[R Doug]

I voted "No, and doesn't plan to."  

As much as I would love to share this expereince with her, she's not remotely interested and I'm not going to push her.  I've even encouraged her to look at the Can-Am ( ).  She has a little interest in that, but nothing else.  

Last year, she purchased a convertible and is loving it.  She has told me that she is starting to get why motorcycle riding is so appealing.  But, she concludes with, "I'll limit my experience with my 4 wheels and top down."

My wife started riding before I did.  I learned to ride so as not to get left out of her new hobby.  Truth!  

Fast forward 7 years and I now I ride more than she does, but she still keeps her hand in.  She has a F650GS twin.

She rides.  Here's proof.  That's her in front on the VTX.  That's my friend Lurker following.

My wife has done many miles on the back or a bike. Our honeymoon 35 years ago was a camping trip from VA to the Florida Keys on a BMW R90S.  About 5 years ago my wife took the MSF intro course. She said she wanted to learn to ride in case something happened to me on a trip she could ride my bike to get help. She loved the MSF course and loved it. However she could not touch the ground on my FJR and started looking for a bike of her own. She now rides an SV650 set up for touring. She has put about 15,000 miles on her bike including a number of 700-800 mile weekends. I like mountain roads to get to more mountain roads. She like back roads for scenery and destinations.

Nope. She tried several bikes (Shadow, Ninja 250, Honda Scooter, Aprilia Atlantic Scooter, Ninja 650, Honda 250) but ultimately decided it wasn't for her. She also tried riding on the back but the seat angle wasn't making her back happy. She liked riding the Goldwing we had for a short time but the bike wasn't for me (too painful on the back and head and she required I take the corners as upright as possible and always at the speed limit which was no fun).

Now she flies to destinations and I take the bike out for rides.

Voted no & does not plan too.
My wife has been battling cancer since 2004 & she loves to ride on the back of the 04 Speedmaster
She really likes the back roads when can just cruise at speeds less then 65 MPH. We do do a few trips that involve going over 200 miles in a day plus spending the night somewhere. She also lets me have a bike of my own to do more spirited riding as well with an 04 Speed four
We really look forward and plan spending time together on the bike.

Good luck to your wife!

She rides.    

We've both been on the motos a lot less lately though; we picked up a hitchhiker on the last trip, so we've been bicycling much more instead of the motorcycles.
