You know there are some even happily married like me and Mrs merv. Geez we met in 1975 - I had a Honda then, she had a Yamaha. Now I've got two Hondas and a Yamaha and she's got a Yamaha and a Suzuki.

Bugger growing up just keep enjoying the ride.

Fantastic read 4 days before my wedding. Thanks for that......

Although.. I am riding the day before the wedding... riding the day of the wedding and riding the day after the wedding..... and on into the future.

Yeah and as bikers we'll never succumb to that eh!

the ultimate support

I am the first one to admit, it was my good lady who got me to buy another bike after 4 years away,to quote her," just get your arse back in there and buy it" and I've never looked back, now she's hooked and is looking for her first bike....

here here. i swear id clobber my partner if he made noise about giving up the bikes. hes getting a bit old for the deckers, but hed be ok on a smaller/shorter bike.

I met my man through bikes, was looking forward to marriage with him and welcomed his passion for bikes, but lost him because of bikes..... so I see why some dont like their partners riding, but i wouldnt have given any of it up for the world and you will never see me stop riding.....

Nah, I've just clocked 25 happy yrs and the missus is quite happy I have a bike altho she is not that interested herself. Sometimes she comes out on the back but mostly happy for me to go and do my own thing.
