RE: Bye Bye Girlfriend
Yep, men and women are different, but we are all human and hurt inside when we feel unloved by someone that we love-I have experienced both sides-the feeling of freedom when released from a confining, unsatisfying relationship, and the feeling of joy and commitment when sharing love from someone who is right for me. It took a long time for me to meet the "right" one, but now that I have, I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything. She was a rider 20 years ago, and I had never ridden. She was looking at 45 this year and getting depressed, so I bought her an 06 1200 Sportster for her birthday (yeah, it hurt financially), but it was worth it to see the joy and happiness it brings her, and I love to hear her say "I love my bike" when she comes back from a ride. Now I have joined her in the riding family-took the Riders Edge course, bought a used Low Rider, and now instead of watching football on Sundays, we ride together.

No, not necessarily. You didn't say anything derogatory about women in general. Your comments where more about your own personal experience with your girlfriend ... not Women in general... I can appreciate that.

RE: Bye Bye Girlfriend
I'm 40. I've had my first bike this year. A street bob. Wonderful ... it was my dream for years.
My wife (from 12 years) don't like bikes but she has approved my dream, even if we have a baby (10 years old).
So, even if all others of the family has said that I was out of head...
this year I became an happy harleyst.
This is my wife with me in her first moto tour ... (70km).
I didn't think of become so happy in my live: harley is a new life style.

RE: Bye Bye Girlfriend
Wow, I get wiped out by a freak storm in Bflo and finally (only at work) have a chance to see what's going on. Basically was joking about dragging one home. A very close female friend is one of my riding partners and I enjoy the road with her. She rides her own and I think it's GREAT!!!! I also have been asked to put a P pad on for some other friends biut am hesitant. If I crash and die......my problem. I don't want to kill someone. I do prefer to ride solo. I was married 21 yrs not including the 6 we dated. I too, have my defenses up, am readjusting and am moving forward with any relationships very s l o w l y. The divorice ws a shock. I bought Lucille cause I wanted to ride again after 20 yrs as a present after the divorice. She has been excellent therapy and has taken care of me as I to her. Wow, this is F-ed up.....what did I just write....LOL MAKO

I'd take my girl over my bike any day of the week too... but I don't have a garage and I don't want to get busted for indecent exposure.

I would take my girl over my bike any day of the week. There are somethings (not many) that the bike just can't give me!

As for me , I'm one of the lucky ones as far as ladies. She loves to ride , not modest and a blast to party and just be with. Life has thrown us some stinky doo doo over these last 15 years together but we hold each other up.

RE: Bye Bye Girlfriend
I can relate, but a little differently. I was living with my girlfriend, and business partner, for about 10 years. Things were pretty boring for the last 5 years, but we were business partners, so we kind hung in there. An old boyfriend from 42 years ago contacted her online after his wife of 38 yrs. died. They did the secret email thing for a month or so, met in Vegas, and three days after the Vegas trip he asked her to marry him. She said yes, we packed her stuff, she left on a Sunday about 2 months ago. The following Wednesday I bought my 96 FXDS-Conv. and I haven't been this happy in decades. I can't thank her enough! I've put a little over 2 thousand miles on, and any time somebody calls to go for a ride, I'm in. It would be nice to say that I missed what's her name, but I just can't lie like that.

RE: Bye Bye Girlfriend
from the other side, I rode w/my biker babe wife most everywhere. so when she left (divorce) during my darkest hours I didn't ride the bike for two months. just didn't want to (depressed) plus it would painfully remind me of her. finally I realized I was paying for it to sit in the garage. so I reasoned - ride it or sell it($$$). thankfully I didn't part w/it and am so thankful I didn't loose the other love of my life!
