How did you hook up?

[curious george]

Bwahahaha! Go KK! I have met her, and I tell ya, she's blody lippy. Never lets KK say anything. Got him by the short and curlies for sure.....




We met over the crushed body of a motorcyclist who was bleeding badly.
Then talked more while a little old lady was having her hip replaced, and chatted about how much blood the previous patient had.
Tired and hungry after a long miserable day at work with no break; I shared my dinner with her, and a connection was made.
She was an excellent MTB'er, and kicked my arse all over the forrest. I was not happy, but impressed. So I impressed her back. (Somehow, I don't know, you'll have to ask her).
3 and a bit years later we is still happy, but I'm being a bit slack about the tramp down the isle.
*must try harder*

Good to see somany couples into bikes, me and Mrs SD included. She has her full licence and steals the Sporty now and then, she is completely part of my life (except for guns/hunting, I could tell her I scored a new Uzi for $50 and she'd say "thats nice", however she loves to cook and eat the dead animals I provide).
It's hard to find the perfect woman so they say but I reckon I have and it sounds like a few of you lot too (and the girls their man)

When I came to Wellington just over 20 years ago, on my first day at my new job who should be sitting in the adjacent office, resplendent in her magnificence but the person who at a later date would become Mrs H!! I had never before that point in my life believed in "love at first sight", but I can personally attest to the reality of this phenomenum (for me, that is. It took Mrs H a while to come around to a similar view...). We didn't "hook up" until she left a few months later for another role in a different organisation across town and I missed her so much it hurt, so I took appropriate remedial action. We've been together now for about 19 years and married for 17. Mrs H is the very stylie and commited rider of a Suzuki VZ800K3 Marauder.

As I suspected, it's been really cool to read all these stories. It is quite encouraging to see that a lot of you couples actually do have motorcycling as a common intrest/passion. Thoes who do not have partners who ride, I don't suspect it being an issue at all, as there are some things in life that are more important than bikes.

Good on ya and I hope all of your stories will continue with a "happily ever after". Thank you for sharing

[Ms Piggy]

Yeah cheers for that...I had actually been wondering the very same thing.

It gives me hope!!

[matthewt]

errrr, I meet my wife at intermediate school (forms 1/2) and no I'm not a teacher !!!

She was my first girlfriend and we've been going out since I was 15. Got married just before my 21st (11 years ago) and have four kids (aged 0 -> 7).

One of the best things we did was live in asia for 3 years right after getting married, meant we had to rely on each other so much being in a foreign culture and no family/friends to rely on. I'm sure that's why we are still together and so many of our friends aren't.

She doesn't ride but lets me get away with all sorts of things to do with bikes so I never complain. Did last years 1000 miler two weeks after our 4th was born, pretty good of her to let me dump her at home with the 3 others and brand new baby so I could ride all weekend I thought.

I've just now altered my work hours so I work 4 10 hour days to help out around home more and give her a break from the kids during the week. Means I need to log off soon so I can be up by 5:30am but it's worth it.

[Kwaka-Kid]

hey dude ive got an hour on you - and wakeup @ 5:20am!
and i only just came home from work, to check this then sleep - but man! talk about rare storey you got there, hardley ever hear it like that... you married your first gf?.. amazing - anyone else here who married their first or even second gf? hell 5th or 6th even amazes me! - isnt it like finding the bike thats right for you? like, i dunno, ive been through a nubmer damn my little vfr400 must be about number 7ish, but shes the one(for now :P), and i know, because of experiences with others..? I reckon you just got lucky mathewt! and the rest of us can just be jelous (wish i found my vfr400 first time, all that time mucking around with boged bikes, man if only...)

LOL have an ex-wife you can have.


So many KB'ers have been married for along time.
Me. Ive been married for 3 weeks, tomorrow.

I met the current puppet on the net. Took her and 2 other prospective ladies to the sevens in Welly, all on the same day, bwahaahahahaha. Told each of them that the other was an old friend. She was easily the best and won me over, or was it the beer....
Anyways. That was 4 yrs ago. Finally bought the bullet and got hitched 3 weeks ago up in New Plymouth. Awesome day, awesome lady.

We first meet in school, then again 6 years later when she moved into a flat I was in. We hooked up and got engaged. 13 years later we got married (13 March this year).

She got me into riding...

I highsided on our honeymoon and broke my forearm. :eyepoke:

What a dork.

Sarah and I met while I was working in Saudi Arabia for IBM. She was working as a teacher - Sarah followed me to Gibraltar (sp) and then back to NZ. We've been together for 5 and half years now. Probably time to make an honest woman of her I guess ??!?!!?

[jrandom]

you married your first gf?.. amazing - anyone else here who married their first or even second gf?

I met Sarah (Mrs Random) when we were both teenagers. She was my first girlfriend. I did the love-at-first-sight thing and refused to consider any other girl after meeting her, you see.

Been married almost five years now. Two kids (aged 1 and 2). Was all a bit of a gamble (and Jacob, kid #2, was an unexpected event) but it paid off handsomely, and yes, I'm sure that it's entirely possible to marry your first girlfriend and be happy for the rest of your life. *I* certainly have no plans on going downhill from here...
