wives and partners

1 I guess they fit into one of these categories

2 Also have a bike , share your passion

3 like to ride piliion ,share your passion

4 tolerate your bike , no interest in riding, money better spent elsewhere

5 hate yor bike , divorce material

I think we are a number 4 , although if it was number 3 that would have completely changed my choice of bike . Probably would have gone tourer or British , new Bonnies look comfy. trying hard to move toward a 31/2:rolleyes:

#2 My significant other rides a 2 stroke. Absolutely refuses to have anything else.:oi-grr:

[babysteps]

5. Loves my passion for bikes but not interested in riding themselves

[tanken2]

maybe trying to teach my wife to ride on a Mach3 wasn't a good move?

[russd7]

wife,
3, rides pillion, shares passion, even for the MotoGP and speedway (solo and sidecars, although her preference is side cars and mine is solos)

#2 Rides her own , a MH50 Boulevard these days, enjoys leading g me about the place and longer rides with a few trusted ( not to ride into you types) mates.
Works a treat.

#3 when we actually find time to go riding.

[insomnia01]

#3ish, rides pillion but doesn't share the same level of passion for bikes as me but very happy to go out for a ride. Likes the touring element even more so now that I have brought a 08' Connie although we have toured on my ZX14 & she didn't mind that abit :headbang::headbang::headbang: so ZX seems to have been relegated to solo riding only :facepalm:

[Blackbird]

3(ish) also, moving to 4(ish).

My wife was the best pillion ever bar none (even with the odd bollocking for going a bit quick). A hip problem 10 years stopped her coming on the back but she's still supportive of my passion, even if there's a bit of quid pro quo after she's given me permission to replace whatever I have at the time. :niceone:

5a - not married, the girlfriend who tried to put her foot down.

"You can have bike, or you can have me! (silent pause) You would choose bike wouldn't you? Shit."

[actungbaby]

I was sidecar passenger for my now wife long before we were ever a couple.
She's got it worse than I have.

[caspernz]

My category doesn't exist. Wife understands my passion for bikes, knows better than to get in the way there. Has been only an occasional pillion over the years. She'll come along to track days so can't complain. Used to comment about the cost of this disease, then one day I opened her wardrobe in response :devil2: no further comment made :cool:

Not a bad situation to be in. If we were closer to civilisation I'm pretty sure my bestie would be bucket racing.

She watches motogp before I do!

Just wish she would let me add to our stable with a nice wee middleweight 4t....

I will keep working on it.

Here's a hint I've shared before.
Buy her the bike of your dreams as a wedding anniversary present for her.
I've used that one at nearly every opportunity.

:eek: Wedding anniversary? That implies marriage... :wait:

Sadly, my current dream bike is yet to be released and her wee tootsies will never meet terra firma as a pair.

She would fit a 765 RS Triumph I suspect, and like it...

You can have money or you can have bikes... But you need to budget for shed expansion, too.

Any hoo, every ride is a new conversation. Love it.

It matters not a hoot wether she is capable of riding, preferably not.:devil2:

4ish.
I’ve got a nice wee L plate on my sewing machine so she can’t be pillion, but I think I’ve talked her round to a scooter.
It has two wheels so it’s a start.

At least it’s two stroke.
