Default Couples who both ride.......

I want to hear from couples who both ride their own bikes.


Who else rides with their wife/girl friend? What do y'all ride? Any couples ride matching bikes?


My best riding partner is my wife. We ride everywhere together on matching CVO's, around town or cross country or 4,000+ mile vacations.


Show us your pic's.

My boyfriend and I both ride. We don't have matching bikes but we most certainly enjoy riding together. Our trip to the Smoky mountains last year was really great. We're planning another trip there for this summer.

My husband I both ride. He's been riding since he was 12 and I've been riding for 6 months (I've done about 1700 miles so far). We're having a blast riding together.

He's got an FXR and I'm currently on a Vulcan 500. I'm looking at moving up to Dyna Switchback in the spring.

Adds a new dimension to this already great sport. Never knew what a clutch was until she (Nancy) sat on a Harley. After taking the MSF course and spending hours in an empty mall parking lot she became a good safe rider that does not ride beyond her skill level.

Let's see your pics OP!

I met my wife at a bike run. One of the reasons I was attracted to her was that she rode her own bike, a Honda Shadow at the time. We hit it off right away, and before too long I gave her a non-traditional engagement ring - a key ring with the key to a brand new Sportster on it. No diamond could have made her happier.

At the time, I was riding an custom, very fast FXR with the license plate 1BADHOG. She wanted a fast Harley too, so I got her Sportster a plate with BADHOG2 on it. After a few modifications it must have worked, as she got a ticket for 95 MPH.

She put over 90,000 miles on that Sportster, including cross-country trips, before we traded it in on an FLHT. She has around 65,000 miles on it so far. We ride together 95% of the time , though we each do solo rides occasionally, and she will ride two up with me on my bike once in a while.

J and I both ride. Don't matter where just as long as we get out where ever it is. Nope bikes don't match.

Great story, take care of her, good women that ride are hard to come by.

My wife and I have owned 30+ motorcycles between us. She has owned 8 Ultra Limited's and two GW before, plus others.


I raced dirt bike for 11 years before starting street riding. So a lot of my 24 motorcycle was dirt bikes. I've had 3 Limited's, GW plus others.


We rode from Houston to Sturgis in 2013, I proposed at Custard State Park on the way. We bought two HD wedding bands and two white HD shirts at the Black Hills Harley Davidson the next day. We got our SD marriage license in Deadwood and was married at "The Historic Bullock Hotel" there in Deadwood.


As they say the rest in history.

I ran into my aunt and uncle once at a golf course. I told them "I'd love to teach my girlfriend to play!". My uncle took my aside and said "Son...why do you want to mess up a perfectly good game of golf?! Enjoy the game ...and the peace by yourself!" Truer words have never been spoken! I see it the same way on my Harley!
