Passions, shared or not, ARE the ticket!
It was very simple for me. If the lady didn't like Motorcycles, I would politely excuse myself. All my wifes have loved to ride My present and FINAL wife even rides her own.
...If I could find a hack with air conditioning (allergies, hot flashes), sat radio, storage for the Nook and knitting, beverage dispenser, custom built seat with adjustable lumbar support, and sun shades...maybe...just maybe...she would ride.
Like many others, my wife and I have different passions. I love travel and motorcycling, camping and meeting new people. Tamara likes her little flock of Icelandic Sheep, producing the wool she uses for knitting. She has no interest in going anywhere. I attempted to coax her into joining me by getting a sidecar; the plan was she would either call it her own or knit in the hack. Didn't work out.
So now she stays home and follows her passion, while my faithful companion and I travel to meet new folks and try new things in far away places.
I've read a lot of posts from men about their S.O. But I'm curious to see how many women had an ex like mine where he hated the fact that I rode. Of course I would love to see how many women have great spouse - like Sara's - who say go ahead and go.
I Keep finding non riders in the dating pool so I'm keeping my feet dry for the summer.

It's amazing how life flies by and suddenly I realize how much I have insulated myself from the world and what it has to offer. I am trying to change my outlook and renew my faith in humanity and the kindness of strangers....wish me luck!
Okay. I arrived home from work last night, tired and stressed form the rat race! Pretty Wife was busy packing a picnic dinner. Her plan was for us to take a ride through the spring countryside and end up at a local State Park for dinner. Great idea and much needed escape for my soul.
I strapped the soft-side cooler onto the rack of my 2005 R1200GS and she threw her leg over her 2002 Buell M2 Cyclone. Off we went. I asked her to lead, which is a bit unusual, as she would prefer I do the heavy lifting; route planning, etc.
She afterwards expressed a new appreciation of my being in the lead... a couple of missed turns and I was asked to lead us back on the route to the State Park. All in good fun, even the missed turns.
I asked her to lead because it was her idea and I found out that when she rides alone, she has trouble keeping the "Dragonfly" under the posted limit... this old man has obviously been holding her back.
So it was a rather spirited run on some beautiful country roads. The whole experience was a great delight for me. IÔÇÖve watched this lady go from MSF BRC to competent rider over the past year. It tickled me to see her out in front and riding with such ease and grace. DonÔÇÖt get me wrong, she has led our little two-bike group before. However, the combination of a surprise picnic dinner, a nice ride after work, and observing her mastery of this sport will stay in my memory for a long time.
