I was married once. My wife loved riding when we first got married. After a while, not so much. We're not married anymore!
I would date a non-rider. But if she wants the relationship to be anything more than casual, she'd have to convert.

I will be riding and if she wants time with me get on my bike or ride your own. I am so SICK of the bull sh_t you never spend time with me crap. I go riding once a weekend during the day and I ever spend time with her. You want time then do some things I enjoy or LEAVE!!! They leave and thats fine. I am what I am. I feel I am a great guy or as they say I am but there must be some middle ground. Theres not but so many dress shops I can go to with out loosing my mind and you never even ride with me once? Ok I get it.
I am currently dating 4 women, 3 love to ride with me, one doesn't. The one that doesn't has a lot of other stuff to offer that don't require me to haul her butt around town for a few hours before she gives up that other stuff. {you know, cooking and stuff} So I guess my advice to you guys is to be a little flexible and diverse in your choice of women. Everybody has their good and bad bits. I can't imagine a criteria for an SO being 'will she ride with me'? Especially living in MN all those years when the riding season was so short.
I've been single again for almost 10 years now, and although I don't single out biker gals to go out with, every woman I've seen in all that time knew that I ride, and enjoyed spending time on the bikes with me...most of the time when I meet a woman it starts out with them asking to go for a ride...comes with the territory...

What if the territory is filled with snow and the temp is in single digits? It would have been Hell on me in MN to have not been able to ask a woman out for 6 months out of the year.
H*ll, at my age, I'll just date one that's breathing. If she breaths and RIDES, that's a bonus bag.
I get a lot of ladies that go "gaga" over the bike, and want a ride. But usually after the second "bump", they want off, go figure.
I'm assuming you are talking about the Capt. and if that is the case, I could imagine they'd want off pretty quickly unless they were a true biker. The person on the fender takes the hardest hit on a rigid.
