Default Awwww chit!!!!!

I finally got my wife on the back of my bike today. She was scared, never rode before. I took her on a short ride through the Hocking hills, probably 50 miles. We're almost home at a stoplight by the gas station. While waiting for the light I looked back and said "are you still scared babe?" She said "a little, but I like it, it's fun". GREAT!!!!! I'm loving this, my wife likes riding now. light turns green, I twist the throttle, let out the clutch, motor racks up and we don't move. Yup, first time I ever got my wife on a bike an I lost a drive belt.

naw nothing serious, she still wants to ride. just pissed me off a little, that's all. Actually it was a pretty good day. The only woman I want on the back of my bike wants to be on the back of my bike now. Who could ask for a better day?

Dont laugh, it happened to my mom.. When she was younger of course, back in the days when the ladies rode side saddle. My pop took a turn, the same direction her feet were pointed, and off she goes. Fortunately she didn't break anything. My pop went about 100 ft before he realized she went AWOL..

Good thing you had your Old lady with you. At least you didn't have to push your bike the rest of the way home.

You shouldn't have had her push the bike home. It pisses them off every time.
