Awsome man. Congratulations to the Wife for having the nerve to give it another thrash.
Ahh..Girls on bikes. Not enuf of them. You go!!
"Danger Will Robinson, danger" - I did the same and now I've lost my 1200 Sportster to 'er in-doors, our fuel bill has doubled and now both bikes require new rear tyres....argh, it's endless, all is lost!!
AND worse, she actually loves it and can't wait for "our next ride" (next longish one will likely be Woodstock Rally).
Winding up drongos, foil hat wearers and over sensitive KBers for over 14,000 posts...........![]()

It wasn't until I got my m50 that my wife would even think of getting on the back of a motorbike with me; now she loves going for a ride in the weekends, assuming we can find a child minder. I think she'd love a Yamaha 650 cruiser or similar, but small steps.
Well done on getting back in the saddle.
Goodonyer both!
Now having got the Missus back on pillion and enjoying it she's thinking about getting her own bike. Have to start on a 250, but she likes the Virago/Intruder cruisers, so we'll see what the new year brings...
Great to have something you can do together now the kids are all off our hands, eh?
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
No,the kids aren't off our hands yet.More riding was done today - our 14 year old son is learning to ride the old TF100 in the park....he's being very scientific about it,no hooning yet.And my 26 year old daughter came over for a ride on it too,first time back on a bike for nearly 10 years for her....damn,she's a loose unit on a bike.
Although my eldest (21) has had a short ride on the GSXR he has little interest in motorcycling other than the occasional offroad.
However No 2 (17) has had a scooter & now has had a car for 12 months. I convinced him to get his MC learners last week & he had his first road ride on saturday. He was most proud of his first biker wave! He handled the GN well & only required a little road positioning advice. No 3 son (9) had his first open road pillon whilst following his big brother & rather enjoyed it. Thanks Jamo for the GN loan - It's prob going to cost me another bike as he still has another year at high school.
Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow arent just the 4 cycles of an engine
Jeez, you're a lucky bugger Motu. If I could get just one of my lot onto bikes I'd be happy. The wife last rode in the mid 60s, too late for her to return. Two sons packed it in when they got married, none of the grandsons show any interest. Looks like I'm last in the line.![]()
You must be stoked to have your lady riding with you after all those years..her smile under the helmet says it all!!!
Nice on Motu - way to go!!
Cheers
Merv
