Couples that ride

[Maha]

I know there are a number of couples on here that both ride..
MSTRS/yungatart...White Trash/Riff Raff...Renegade Master/Indiana_Jones to name but a few..
Question is...If your other half also rides, do you ride together when time allows? if so, do you also enjoy the time spent with your significant other while doing so?

[yungatart]

That would be a resounding yes to both of those questions.
However we also spend time apart doing our own thing and that is very cool too!

The Chancellor does not ride (yet) but loves to come out with me. I often end up in some amazing places, alone, & always feel a tad guilty being unable to share. :love:.
I'm really looking forward to the day she gets on the road so we can have adventures together. A lap of the South Island is top of the list. :scooter::scooter::yes:

[Bald Eagle]

do you also enjoy the time spent with significant other as much as I do?


I haven't met your significant other so couldn't comment on the enjoyment.

South Island?...yes indeed.
To do something like that (or just a two days away) with just yourselves making the decisions makes it all the sweeter. Own pace, do whatever suits.

The English lanuage, who wrote that shit?

[slofox]

My "significant other" won't go anywhere near any motorbike that I am in control of. Not even to do the annual Cambridge to Tron Toy Run...:angry:

Mind you, I appreciate the time out anyway. :devil2:

[slofox]

I haven't met your significant other so couldn't comment on the enjoyment.

I think you might have walked into that one Mr Maha...these bald eagles are sharp man, sharp!

[Maha]

Yes Pillion Partners count as well...
Riding a bike can be very much an individual thing that when teamed up with your partner takes it to another level.

[Maha]

.....think I have it word'd much more betterer now.

[slofox]

.....think I have it word'd much more betterer now.

Yep...have to say B.E. picked up on it when I didn't...guess I'm just a slo fox.

[Edbear]

Mrs. Bear and I loved riding together, it was nice to have her on the back of the bike, esp since getting the interphones. I enjoyed riding alone at times, but it was far better with her.

Mind you, she was also a perfect pillion, so relaxed and comfortable you wouldn't know she was there but for her cuddling up to me. She was a total pleasure to ride with!

Sadly our riding days are over, but we still enjoy each other's company in the MX5 or the Kizashi.

[Banditbandit]

Same .. she came on the back ONCE and told others she enjoyed it .. she told me she'd never do that again .. and I was very careful too ...

Riding is My thing ... and I appreciate the time away ..

[White trash]

Riff raff and I would love to get out for a ride together but the little ones simply don't allow it. Lack of bikes owned by us in the garage is a hinderence as well but Sue will quite often climb on a bike I bring home if it appeals in some way. Funny as fuck when she almost dislocated a hip trying to get on the WR250R :D

[george formby]

Being a good pillion is a huge asset in a partner. The only time I notice my petit is under hard braking when she tries to climb over my shoulders:facepalm:

I have had pillions in the past who insisted on leaning the wrong way, nightmare. An ex even fell asleep, completely missed the race down the motorway tail gating a Porsche at 140mph. Probably for the best.

I'm looking forward to my trip & the girlfriend carrying her own luggage, a pannier each is not enough.

[gijoe1313]

Well having a pillion partner has changed my riding habits! I don't ride as far or as often as I used to, but it is an enjoyable change of pace with my girl on the back.

She is keen to ride with me, providing I don't get up to my usual pootling shennanigans! She will never ride her own bike, but it doesn't matter since she loves to ride on the back with me.

At this stage, she has more riding gear than me now! :blink:

Figure fitting leather pants are always a bonus in a relationship..

[Murray]

My better 1/2 rode pillion for nearly a year and even started falling asleep on the back of the bike at times. Got totally bored with it when we went on a group ride and after following another bike with a fairer sex rider got off and said I want my own bike. Had one 3 weeks later and now fully licensed and riding a great little rocketship of a GB400.

[skinman]

my wifey goes with me sometimes but complains about uncomfortable seat & foot position & the C50 is one of the better ones. I suggest her getting her own but she doesnt want to. Good thing is I get an excuse to spend money on the C50 cause it will make it more comfortable eh. Deflectors are on their way, passenger plates next.

[yod]

I used to spend 90% of bike-time with my wife on the back, she's a brilliant pillion. Our foray into parenthood has brought that all to a screeching halt. Normal service should be resumed in a couple of years when the little people are old enough to send away to grandparents, etc.

[Maha]

....whats with this falling asleep talk?
Annes helmet hit mine once while out night riding, I thought she had nodded off so I grabbed a handfull of the front brakage system to awaken her but alas, it twas but a mere sneeze.:love:

[LankyBastard]

Yeah Becca and I both ride, not done too much in the way of having her on the back due to restricted licence, but we did recently hire a bike over in oz and go for a ride, actually really good fun! Helps a heap when your pillion is also a biker and knows to lean with you in the corners!

Bring on the full licence in just over two weeks! Then planning on getting a sport tourer/adv bike to travel round the country on this summer. Any good reccomendations for suitabel bikes let me know.

[Str8 Jacket]

Koba and I ride together, seldom on the road but often on the race track.

.......has been know'n that someone (who shall remain nameless:innocent:) would infact, start to tip in before rider/bike...that was wierd feeling:blink:...all sorted out real quick though.

[Lucyloo]

My partner and I both ride - we love going for rides together. Did a tour of the South Island in February/March and it was just fabulous. Then made sure that we headed up to Cape Reinga at Easter so that we could say that we had ridden NZ top to toe in the space of a couple of months.
Our choice of holidays is to go touring and have done pretty much all of the country now.
Don't think I could have partner that didn't ride.
L.

[ynot slow]

We were me riding alone as to quote"Im not getting on that"after a couple of short sedate trips say 15km,she was hooked,so after spending $$$ on my stuff we did same for her,and have to say she was a good pillion.
Did our first and last trip of 1100km with only anoyance of her seat and lack of comfort there in.

[Ntoxcated]

My wife used to ride pillion until I upgraded to a bike without a pillion seat or pegs. So she got herself a little Suzuki Volty, learned to ride, and now just 10 months later has a full licence and a nice ER6F. We use the Bluant F4 Interphones to chat while riding which is really handy. Next step is getting her back out on the track :woohoo:

[Trudes]

The man dog and I don't ride together on the road anymore since his bike was sold. And fuck knows how we survived the dodgy trips we used to do with me as pillion before I got my own bike. Now we race buckets together, at this point both in the same grade, so we race each other.... makes passing 'interesting' :blink: I'm sure he takes more care in passing me than anyone else on the track probably because he knows that I will smack him if he knocks me off, it does help though that he knows my lines from many hours of following me around the track and there is often an element of 'team tactics' on race day :shutup: :laugh:

You mean your garage isn't full enough already? Holy hell. :shit:

[rideon]

We too had a rider/pillion relationship for several years and had a blast the whole time - trusting pillion, even when we scraped her toes on the road ocasionally or caught a little air off some of those nice little humps here in the 'kato. We have now moved to the next level , rider/rider. After spending some time with her, while she was losing her training wheels (challenging at times !!) we now tour all over the place together and she is developing great road craft skills all the time. Now on a full license & riding a GSR600 very well !! Doing SH 43 this weekend - weather permitting & a South Island trip early next year - can't wait !!! She does a girls ride every now n then & I get out with the boys at times as well. Its working well for us.

[dogsnbikes]

Its been a couple of years since Melissa aka DODGB has ridden when she had a CBX750 Bold'or, but its not Often that we aren't out on the Trumpy together She's a great pillon and also relises riders need that alone time on their bike as well,Melissa has already decided that she is getting a 675 when she upgrades the CBR400 which I am rebuilding for her at the moment......

[Hitcher]

Question is...If your other half also rides, do you ride together when time allows? if so, do you also enjoy the time spent with your significant other while doing so?

Yes, and yes. That's why we do it.

[stormerUK]

Yup I ride a Blackbird and wifey rides a VFR VTec will dump both bikes before we come to NZ (winter salt ridden) and buy a pair of Street Triples.......

[JATZ]

MrsJ has been known to go for a ride occasionly :yes: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/130504-Wot-the-Jatz-s-did...
She's a good pillion too, unless she's bashing me round the helmet for doing something stupid :innocent:
I still like riding by myself, or going for a ride with the other NADS, or having a hoon through the local forestry with the boy

Yep, of course. Both on the road and trackdays etc. As for part 2....weeeellll it can be a bit stressfull at times. But not as stressfull as going riding when she can't come

[hellokitty]

I haven't met your significant other so couldn't comment on the enjoyment.

Hahahaha she is cute....

Mr Hellokitty and I ride together. When I wanted to learn, I bought him a bike so he could ride with me (he has ridden since he was 5), as he didn't have a road bike when we got married.
We don't ride together too often, as he has different ideas about rides. I like to be gone for hours, and in summer would ride all day on twisty roads, where he likes shorter rides and straighter roads.

Sometimes I feel guilty going off all day on the bike and leaving him at home with his kids... but then I get over it :innocent: I don't have kids so I don't need to be stuck at home all the time!

[Furyos J]

Me and my partner trail ride together, i ride 2 wheels, she rides a spots quad (altho there has been talk of getting her onto a cr125) its great to get out into the outdoors together, just at your own pace, if i want to hoon, i can, i just have to let her catch up every now and then, and trail riding with ya partner is different to being out with "the boys" no pressure to ride fast or keep up with the quickest, just enjoy the ride.
She also pillions with me on the CBR for our daily commute, and some rides just for fun. She doesnt have a bike licence, altho there has been talk about a licence for her and her own 250 road bike at some stage :scooter:

[Gone Burger]

I have just started dating again. I must be mad as it's a mix bag of people out there. But one thing I know for sure if that I would very much prefer it if someone I meet rides too. I have had many a friends tell me to meet men outside of motorbiking. But if I did so, then how would one ever understand when I want to bugga off for a day on my bike on my own. Or head off down country on a solo road trip as I so very much love doing? If I was lucky enough to meet a partner that also rides, I imagine hitting the roads together would be a lot of fun indeed. Trips away too. But I would always need to be able to ride alone too. Especially on those beautiful winters nights when you are sitting at home just longing to ride to a beautiful spot somewhere for some fresh air. I do think it would be great to be able to share ones biggest passion with their partner.

I think my expectations may be too high. What on earth have I got myself in for?

[george formby]

I have taken my girlfriend to the The Farm twice for her birthday & I must admit to getting enormous satisfaction & pleasure helping her to ride. I was a bit worried which way it would go, the potential for unfun was on my mind. A bit like being taught to drive by your dad if you know what I mean.
Both visits have been fantastic, I pootled along behind giving advice when asked & offering pointers as difficulties popped up. Last trip I was proud as punch to watch her naturally standing up to cross streams & mud holes etc, riding the bike really confidently & using the throttle to keep the bike up & steer when all her instincts told her to brake & bin.
I probably enjoyed riding with her more than I would have fanging off on my own. Awww, it's so nice to share.:yes:

[Bounce001]

My partner & I both rode when we meet so it was a given that we would ride together. We go away every year for trips and do many rallies etc together as well. Love the time that we get to spend together but also like having time riding alone, as does he. It's all about getting the balance right!

[English Kiwi]

You mean your garage isn't full enough already? Holy hell. :shit:

you'd think so ay...

We'll get rid of one and replace it with another...we'll need a 6 car/bike garage at this rate!

It's a cool garage though :yes:

[Max Headroom]

Yep, the lovely Mrs Headroom rides as well. We occasionally take both bikes if we're heading to a bike-friendly destination, sometimes do more structured group rides together, and often do independent rides.

I got my first bike after we'd been married for a few years, and initially she rode as a pillion. After about three years, she got the urge to get her own bike. She's been fully licenced now for more than twenty years, has had a variety of bikes including an RG400, and has been happily riding a Buell XB12S for the last five years.

[Maha]

Some time ago, I had no work on a friday, Anne was doing nothing as well.
It was a stunning day so I suggested we gear up and spend the day up north.
Coffee and cake at Ruawai, through the Waipua tree area, stopped at Omapere lookout, lunch at Opononi, across to Kaikohe and down twin bridges..an absolute brilliant day.
Just to able to do something spontaneous like that does wonders for your well being.

He rides his and I rides mine, and my boys ride theirs, and we all ride (and race) together and love it!!

I remember those days well. I actually get a bit offended if I am painted with a BAB tag. There were always bikes around, just not lovely raod type ones. We did have a bike at home, but 3 under 5 and a 6 day a week business certainly curtails the riding time. We used to pick our moments and get Nana and Poppa to come up for a weekend, so we could piss off to the battle of the streets in Paeroa.


I don't ride as far or as often as I used to, but it is an enjoyable change of pace with my girl on the back.

Situation normal then Mr Joe. Good stuff!

Whatcha talking about Willis? I did explain I took different lines to you, then I stopped looking and let you ride :o You have not managed to scare me once, though I think I growled at you once?

Never discount anything KP. I was a retired rider from a failed marriage. I took my helmet and boots, and gloves and jacket with me, and took the taunts that I would never ride again when it was over. I had no plans to buy a bike, but kept my options open with holding onto my gear.

I met a man, that had never ridden a bike before. He loved watching the racing, but that was about it. I was a bit relieved I am ashamed to say, no bike models, magazines and shit cluttering up the place. One trip to Rarotonga and it was all over rover :sunny: And the rest as they say is history. Non riders are just a blank canvas to enjoy and encourage :love:

Yes I love being pillon with my partner. I also like to ride on my own bike. For local rides I am happy riding solo but for longer rides I like 2 up :)

Yep, normajeane and I rarely go on rides (of more than a km or two) without each other.

Having said that it's hard to 'enjoy' the time since you're focussed on riding and can't communicate...

Interesting point - but Mutley and I look at it a bit differently.

For us, riding together is a joyful experience we can share without verbal communication. We can enjoy the knowledge that the other is thrilling about swooping through the twisties, or enjoying that naughty high-speed fang along the straight. At the same time, each can often withdraw to their own private space, without interuption with idle chatter.

Picking up on each other's body language is part of the shared experience. From the obvious thumbs-up or head-shake, to the less obvious physical cues, we can learn a lot from the process.

When riding two-up, a small wriggle or pat or squeeze can say things better than any words can.

Sure, miscommunications and misunderstandings abound. From that point of view we've explored the options for radio comms - but we're aware that some subtleties will be lost forever by their inclusion.

[skippa1]

I wish she would get on...so to speak.....but she has an ingrained fear of bikes from a life of parents telling her that bike=death. Absolutly fearful. She has got on a couple of times, 50kmh screaming, punches in ribs when cornering. It just sucks the joy out of it. On a single seater now....

I think she misses out on some awesome entertainment, beautiful scenery and fun times. She also missed out on falling off when I wrote it off in May......maybe she does have a point....:shit:

[swbarnett]

... bike=death. She also missed out on falling off when I wrote it off in May......maybe she does have a point....:shit:
No way. You're still alive right?

I'm one of the lucky ones. Only ever dated one girl. We met at school and were friends for five years before we got hitched. In those years of "just friends" we both, indpendantly, got into bikes. At University there were three of us that regularly took off on lecture-less afternoons to explore the highways and byways of Auckland. Back then there was virtually no traffic to contend with.

We had a car for about a decade but when that packed up with age it wasn't replaced and now we find ourselves once again with plenty of space in our garage with only the two bikes and a couple of seldomm used sea kayaks.

[Grant`]

I enjoy riding with my partner and I enjoy riding by myself. Now that she has her own bike its much better for both of us as the numb ass multiple stops on trips is no more and although we are together we can still do our own thing. :yes:

[Paul in NZ]

We spend a lot of time together on one or other bike. Usually we enjoy it as we still quite like each others company even after all this time. In the last few years, whenever we see another couple (usually with a bike a piece these days) we try and avoid them if possible and if its a group of women we drop what we are doing and get out fast before we get another lecture about Vicki not having her own bike etc etc. I was even told I was a sexist pig once (possibly true - not sure)

Motorcycling is an individual enjoyment as long as you conform....

[scumdog]

Motorcycling is an individual enjoyment as long as you conform....

Ain't THAT the truth!

Oh, and when normajeane started riding her own bike we got a lot of surprised comments like "Oh, so you ride?":blink: - mostly followed by "Lucky you!"

[JATZ]

In the last few years, whenever we see another couple (usually with a bike a piece these days) we try and avoid them if possible

Why ? :scratch:

[ynot slow]

Why ? :scratch:

Hmmm maybe he gets grilled over the "why hasn't she got a bike?"question,which is always asked by feminist nazis,who ALWAYS assume the lady WANTS to ride but the couple can afford only 1 bike,and that is his.Had that asked of me many times,answer she doesn't want to ride,fixed that as she is no longer.

[Trudes]

Paul, that sounds a bit like the same shit we get when people find out we're married but don't have kids, "oh you don't have kids? But you're married, why don't you have some kids?!" Umm cause we made a decision that we don't fucking want any, has fuck all to do with you, now fuck off. :laugh:
Just keep on doing what makes you happy.

[Smifffy]

Why ? :scratch:

Most likely because they are usually a bunch of know it alls who look down their noses when she says that she is happy being a pillion and has no desire to get her own bike.

The Moll gets that a fair bit too, but we don't go out of our way to avoid those people. She knows that if she ever decides she wants a bike, she'll get one, until then she enjoys riding on the back.

I think the funniest was when a bunch of women at the pro-rider course kept asking her about getting her own bike. They had a new found respect when she climbed on the back and we went for a couple of laps round the track ;)

Vicki has got her own bike but just hasnt taken to it..... yet.... I keep it rego'd and ready to rock at a moments notice, its a great learner bike, she loves it and a hoot. There are very good reasons to take it easy and ridings just not right for everyone. What we hate is everyone judges your decision based on their own.... It has got tiresome and on occasion a little nasty... Possibly thats down to me having opinions

[Dutchee]

I'm probably one of the nazi feminist thingies that asks other females (pillioning) if they ride. The reason I'll ask is when I was a teen and pillion, I'd loved to have ridden myown bike, but when the guys talked about "one down, the rest up", I had no idea what they were talking about, and thought I'd never be able to ride (I'm a bit less unco than I used to be).

My sister had refused to ever get in a car with me driving after I figured out I had no idea how to brake, turn the wheel, change gear at the same time while turning into a road.

I started riding scooters as they were automatic and that way I didn't really have to ride. I also eventually got a car licence and can change gear ;)

If females or males want to ride pillion and have no interest in their own bikes, that's cool. I will go pillion if it suits (heading out for dinner, some longer tours), but on the longer tours I start yearning for my own bike. I do enjoy watching the scenery, so it's not all bad or I wouldn't do it.

And we used to ride dirt bikes - we'd head up the forest together, go riding with our own friends or I would go on my own if none of my friends turned up. We rarely rode together. End of the day we'd talk about our adventures.

Road riding we'll do together or separately, I like for him to have his own time to go fanging, and enjoy my time tootling on my own. We also race/ride buckets (he races, I ride), which means we sometimes barely speak to each other on the day as we're in different grades.

I do know the feeling where you feel put down because you're a pillion, I feel that when I'm not riding, but whatever.

When I do ask if a female rides or not, it's an interest to see if she's keen but not sure how to go about it or just genuinely happy being pillion. I also have a lot of females look at me with my helmet/bike and comment how they're envious - usually checkout operators and so I try to quickly encourage them. Each to their own though :)

[Dutchee]

Paul, that sounds a bit like the same shit we get when people find out we're married but don't have kids, "oh you don't have kids? But you're married, why don't you have some kids?!" Umm cause we made a decision that we don't fucking want any, has fuck all to do with you, now fuck off. :laugh:

Trudes, one way to shut them up and stop asking the dumb question, is to reply, "we've been trying but I keep miscarrying". They will then walk away feeling stink and you can have a good laugh.

We kept being asked that after we got married, and I think the last time my MIL asked was when I turned 40. She's got grandkids, she don't need any from me.

A cousin had that included in her vows (no kids) and she asked me after about a year as to when the hell the question would stop. I told her to do the miscarriage answer, but she's too "nice" to do that.

My gynaecologist also told me that after an operation, there was "nothing to stop me now having kids" and was horrified when I told him "except for the reason I don't want any".

[hellokitty]

Hmmm maybe he gets grilled over the "why hasn't she got a bike?"question,which is always asked by feminist nazis,who ALWAYS assume the lady WANTS to ride but the couple can afford only 1 bike,and that is his.Had that asked of me many times,answer she doesn't want to ride,fixed that as she is no longer.

Why would people assume that? I think it would be nice to be able to relax and trust enough to be a pillion... I tried but I can't do it, I feel so terrified being a pillion. Then I feel bad because it is a bit insulting to my husband, because it is not that I don't trust him... but I don't like the lack of control.

When I got married, everyone then assumed we would have babies. My husband has 3 kids, and I decided 20 years ago that I didn't want kids. I have been tempted to say that I can't have them. The thing that bugs me is when people say you are selfish if you don't have kids! WTF?

I have taken my girlfriend to the The Farm twice for her birthday & I must admit to getting enormous satisfaction & pleasure helping her to ride. I was a bit worried which way it would go, the potential for unfun was on my mind. A bit like being taught to drive by your dad if you know what I mean...

My girlfriend has just got into riding (just went to her second track day). She loves it, but like the comment above, it was a hard decision whether or not to actively push her in that direction. She would have made it there eventually but still!

But its all good so far and its great having another bike in the garage!

[Paul in NZ]

I love seeing people on their own bikes BUT there are some people who (for various reasons) just dont want to get behind the bars and another group of people (male and female) who just plain shouldn't....

Anyone CAN ride - just like anyone can drink alcohol but its just not a good mix for some folks. Pressuring people into doing things often has very serious consequences...

At one point a lot of our riding companions (the guys) were pressuring their wives onto their own bikes ONLY so they could ride faster themselves. The wives got left behind (beginners) and wondered how was this going riding together? One woman was just simply dreadful at riding as she was fucked if any mans was A telling HER what to do and B going to be better at anything... I tried once to be helpful, was told in no uncertain terms to fuck off.... I didnt bother visiting her in hospital.... It wasnt her fault of course....

[rachprice]

I hate being on the back! Though funnily enough feel safe on the back with pete (yes I'm sick and twisted!)

I like to do my own thing but we ride together, it's good

Can wait to start racing vmx together!

[CatTheBrat]

I haven't enjoyed being a pillion all that much, jsut feels a bit unstable to me, on the back of an R6 anyway - but that may be because it has just been on the back with a mate, and not the significant other... That position is still vacant... :chase: heheheeheee

[CatTheBrat]

I have just started dating again. I must be mad as it's a mix bag of people out there. But one thing I know for sure if that I would very much prefer it if someone I meet rides too. I have had many a friends tell me to meet men outside of motorbiking. But if I did so, then how would one ever understand when I want to bugga off for a day on my bike on my own. Or head off down country on a solo road trip as I so very much love doing? If I was lucky enough to meet a partner that also rides, I imagine hitting the roads together would be a lot of fun indeed. Trips away too. But I would always need to be able to ride alone too. Especially on those beautiful winters nights when you are sitting at home just longing to ride to a beautiful spot somewhere for some fresh air. I do think it would be great to be able to share ones biggest passion with their partner.

I think my expectations may be too high. What on earth have I got myself in for?


I agree with you Katie! I don't think it would last if I started going out with someone that does not ride, I'd want to be on the bike on every nice day possible! I think it would eventually cause problems with 'me or the bike' type of stuff.. I couldn't give up the bike!

[newhere]

I enjoy riding with my partner and I enjoy riding by myself. Now that she has her own bike its much better for both of us as the numb ass multiple stops on trips is no more and although we are together we can still do our own thing. :yes:


I love riding with grant now i have my own bigger bike and can keep up for the most part :woohoo:, also now i have more confidence to go it alone i am loving that to.

Yeah i used to drive him nuts with numb bum wriggling lol. He's so tolerant, we had a great weekend and did my longest trip from Matamata to Whangarei in one day and he didn't get grumpy with me at all :innocent:

Tis a wonderful thing for certain. I really enjoy being out and about riding as a couple. You guys make a great pair :yes: And who says we cant ride our own rides as a couple, he does not have to wait for me unless he wants too :yes: I dont have to go faster than I want unless I want too :shutup:

All good fun!

[swbarnett]

And who says we cant ride our own rides as a couple,
The need to "ride your own ride" became very clear to me on one trip my wife and I did. She was in front and just taking it easy. I started to get target-fixated on her instead of watching the road. Damn near lost it on a couple of corners before I decided I had better get out in front and break the trance.

:yes: Right on the money there chicky! I was dating someone who wasn't a rider when I took it up, it definitely caused problems (on top of other major issues I didn't see at the time) when I wanted to go for a ride with the guys and he would get all jealous and possessive.
Not been even remotely interested in dating anyone who doesn't ride since then

We are now riding lots together on 2 bikes , but my problem is I am always looking in my damn mirror to ensure she got around the corner ok, saw that bit of loose stuff or whatever it is i see first. Out front, Misred certainly has the ability to ride her own ride & not feel any pressure to push it along, but month by month she is really getting into a good groove & LOVING the extra horsey's that the 600 has. Out front though I will still always watch behind & when I do get ahead & wait at the next turn - if she is longer than I think she should be , that's not fun either. All said n done though , we have a blast when out together!!!!

Have you thought about an intercom ?

[PrincessBandit]

Some time ago, I had no work on a friday, Anne was doing nothing as well.
It was a stunning day so I suggested we gear up and spend the day up north.
Coffee and cake at Ruawai, through the Waipua tree area, stopped at Omapere lookout, lunch at Opononi, across to Kaikohe and down twin bridges..an absolute brilliant day.
Just to able to do something spontaneous like that does wonders for your well being.
Agree. Balu and I (before he sold his burgman) decided to do the Coro loop one lovely mid-week day a few months ago, and it was fabulous. The only issue I had was where he decided to stop at Whitianga - up on a grassy area which, when I pulled up next to him to stop, I discovered had a little hidden dip in the grass exactly where my foot was trying to meet the ground...

[OCD Legend]

My wife used to ride pillion until I upgraded to a bike without a pillion seat or pegs. So she got herself a little Suzuki Volty, learned to ride, and now just 10 months later has a full licence and a nice ER6F. We use the Bluant F4 Interphones to chat while riding which is really handy. Next step is getting her back out on the track :woohoo:

upgraded is an interesting way of describing it... :love:

And then there's the time I stopped on the footpath next to scenic drive (to keep clear of the road). What I hadn't realised was that the path had changed elevation relative to the road from where I joined it. My foot was now about a foot above the road. One broken indicator later I realised I wasn't going to stay upright...

Yeah we have talked about them & coincidentally, found out tonight that Hamilton Honda have a pair of SENA's that they will fit for you to test ride (talk). they just need half an hour to fit em before your ride - gonna have a look at these the next weekend we can get out. Better be pretty good cos theyre 699 for the pair.

[Berg]

Havn't read the whole thread but Mrs Berg and I both ride and ride together often. Mrs Berg rides to work every day while I have a work vehicle but we enjoy getting out and about over the weekends. Funny thing is Mrs Berg was never really into bikes until last year. No she is always keen for a roadtrip somewhere

[hellokitty]

Know that feeling! Surely everyone has done something similar at one point? I did it the other day and burnt my inner thigh on part of the engine - funtimes!

Obviously something just clicked into place for her - I love it when that happens - happend for me with my new bike last weekend. Such an awesome feeling!
I can still remember when it happened with my old GN250 over 2 years ago, I went from feeling like i wanted to vomit in my helmet with nerves, to enjoying it and feeling like I was riding the bike, not the bike taking me for a ride.

:lol: It's been at the back of my mind too, what with the Chancellor at liberty on the highways & byways now with all the attendant risks which loom much larger for me as a consequence. Then I thought one of the things I love most about being on the bike is lack of distraction + I struggle to think for myself let alone two of us, I would probably just make things worserer.
As it turns out, I normally follow & if anything needs to be discussed it's an opportunity to pick up my pace, overtake & find a pertinent place to stop & wave the red flag. Knowing that has done wonders for the missus using her mirrors rather than her ears.:yes:

[Rosie]

Just because you have an intercom, doesn't mean you have to say very much.
Clint and I resisted the intercom thing for a long time, but being able to communicate the odd thing (for us, usually "stop and I'll take your photo" or "is this our road?") without having to stop and turn the bikes off makes the ride flow a lot better.
We'll happily go for hours without saying anything, but on the odd occasions we use it, it's really useful.

[Flip]

I used to think the same thing about intercoms, but some times they are great. We did a VCC bike rally, ie sent out with a list of instructions like "turn left at the 2nd intersection......" kind of thing and it was brillo. I do usually turn the intercom off and listen to music on long trips.

Her in doors has never had a interest in riding, I have offered to buy her any kind of bike, provided it is a HD that is, none of this european rubbish. She has just said no thanks I am happy on the back.

I guess (given the circumstance also) there are uses for such an item..
I must admit, there have been times when I have wanted to do something (other than what we had previously discussed) but thought better of because would wonder what the hell I am doing...which isn't out of the ordinary to be honest :whistle:

[rustys]

Yes, Skip and l always ride with each other, on shorter day outings, or Club runs, if not she's pillion on the back of the FJR when on tour or longer trips away. We even both Road Race together on different bikes of course, as well. The only time I ride by myself these days is on my XT to work every day rain, hail, snow and sunshine.
For both of us Motorcycles are our Passion and hobby, and allways will be.

[thecharmed01]

Both myself and my other half ride, off road only though.
I sold my road bike to buy an MX bike!

We enjoy riding together, although technically we don't often ride actually together hahaha
Every now and again he'll ride with me but mostly he's a lot faster and our group is quite big with a diverse range of skills. So I'll often ride mostly with others, but we catch up at lunch and talk about how our days went.

We both have other interests, although the addiction to MX seems to have culled his others off a bit. He doesn't seem to ride bmx much anymore as he was too annoyed with niggly injuries hacking into his MX time hahaha
He skates a bit still though.
I do a few more alternative things, pole dance and aerial silks so we definitely have things that we do alone as he is not so good at aerials - although I have taught him a few pole moves haha

[CookMySock]

My wife and I almost always ride at different times. We have totally different riding styles, and we're both Introverts, so we're happier doing our own thing in our own time. Riding together is not onerous, but not anywhere near as enjoyable as on our own. I'm also highly intuitive and she's a sensor, so she is conservative, and I am, um, not. :crazy:

Left here about 11am, the temp was just right and the weather was stunning, 300 kms travelled and at times, it would have been easy to settle in at one of our stops.
Even Dargaville was picture and could have stayed longer at the Tokatoka pub :niceone:

What a glorious day to be out and about on 2 wheels. I have had a sensational time. Still a bit chilly out of the sun but some great roads. I managed to avoid every pot hole, and there were lots in places, and got very good at picking which drivers would cross the centre line into my path (lots). Got confused by grey ute, big long beard man, I was certain he was going to get me but he missed :2thumbsup Have been using the day to try out different cornering scenarios too, all good stuff. Thanks for the company darling, wonderful way to spend a day.

or like in March this year when we did a roadie in the north Is, we went two up on the beamer, :shifty: that way I didn't have to wait for her,
on the bright side she was able to look out the window as the places we went she had not been before, & boobs in the back are a good thing :msn-wink:
