    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
    to be old and wise you must first be young and stupid
    I do have a purpose in life , Even if it is as a warning to others

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

    #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 so ZX seems to have been relegated to solo riding only
    I Used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass

    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.

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

    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 no further comment made

    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.
