    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.

    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

    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.

    June 29

    3° outside no wind, clear blue skies. Question is, clean the oven or go for a ride?
    It's going to at least 7° when we leave. Northern roads await, well there is particular road that I need to show Anne and today is the perfect day

    Ok I did manage to wipe down the oven top and yes, got some washing hung out also, but the ride was one out of the box!
    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

    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 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.

    Only really had time to make furrows in the garden of late, mind you it's nice to see my darling starting to hang her arse out. Still being pestered for wheelie lessons.. We think we have a low risk idea to start Ah, the joys & fears of a shared passion.
