Default Would you ever do this.

Yesterday morning I took my bike out for a ride as I pulling up to IHOP I seen 2 up on EG pulling up also. I getting ready to go in and I noticed and women riding her husband. This took me by surprise my mouth hit the floor. The guy look at me and said I know I'm going to catch a lot of @#$@ for this so give it to me. I didn't say anything. Here's my question how many guys would let their women ride them. Me personally would not do this. When I'm in the car with my wife I always drive.

When we take my wifes car, she drives. When taking my car I drive. My wife doesn't own a motorcycle so she doesn't get to drive one. If some hot chick wanted to give me a ride on her scoot I would have no problem climbing on.

This is a big joke around our friends. My husband is big manly man, when he was having his bike painted we rode mine. When our friends found out we were riding together they all wanted to know who was on the front. Of course he said he would never ride b*tch. Now they all tease him about it.

I let her ride me whenever she wants.

My wife rides her own scoot and when we are in the car or my old truck, she drives. I don't enjoy driving a car plus she's a better driver than I am.

I would have to say that there is absolutely no way Sean would ever ride on the back with me. No way, no how! If it was necessary for both of us to take my bike he would bump me to the back. When we drive the car it is a very rare occasion that I would drive. Sean is funny that way. He drove all the way to Florida once and wouldn't let me drive. He likes to be in control of the vehicle.

Though Paula can (she had her own Sporty for almost a year) ride, I'm sure she wouldn't want to ride me around.

I don't have a problem with her driving and my being a passenger, either in my truck or her SUV. I'm not that insecure and I really couldn't give a hoot what others think about it.

I don't think I'd ride on the back unless necessary...but as far as a car goes - my wife is a great driver and we share the duties - sometimes I'd rather kick back and listen to tunes and let her drive, sometimes it's the other way around. I never got that whole control thing as far as always having to drive.

In the cars I do all of the driving. As for riding, I ride my owm and He rides his. When his bike is down we ride 2 up on mine. He jokes about him riding B#**h but he is 270 and I am 135 so It just does not work. But he would leave it all to me if he could.
