well i have a simple system:
My bikeriding or wrenching is ME time, do not complain about my ME time or how much ME time i have. if you complain about my ME time you will be punished by more ME time and less we time, if you do not like it or continue you to complain about my ME time you will see ME throw your chit out the door with you followed close behind.

snarly i am stealin ur man vs woman pic

You've been married for 20 years, and ya still haven't figured out that doing one single thing without her equates to "you do everything without me" in her mind? Man, I thought I was a slow learner!

My wife keeps saying she's going to do that and I keep saying " YEEESSS PLEASE DO." She gets her own or buys me a Heritage. My FXR doesn't have the room for the both of us.

Fortunately, my wife digs every moment she spends on the back of my bike and doesn't complain about the times I get out without her (which is only when she *can't* come along for some reason, or riding while I work, etc.).

She can and does, however, remember every detail of every single thing in our 17 years together, and uses that whenever she feels the need. It's a chick thing.

I said, "whatta you mean?"She says, "you go everywhere on that thing without me".What the????????? Other than two evening rides with some buds and a few errands solo last season, she went EVERYWHERE with me. I'm not saying I minded it, in fact, I prefer it. Half the enjoyment of riding to me is the destination, and I prefer to have her with me. Call me henpecked, I don't know, maybe 20 yrs. of marriage? Anyhow, my point really is how differently women see things, and since this was bike-related, I'd throw it out there. Sorry, single guys, I stole a few minutes you ain't never gett'n back!
Don't mean to get all Dr. Phil on ya but I've learned after 30 years of marriage that you have to take the "intent" of her words, not the verbatim meaning. I used to get all defensive when I heard "you NEVER do this" or "you NEVER do that". I would proceed to remind her of all the times I did indeed do this or that and the conversation would go south from there. You see we guys deal in facts, women deal in feelings.

So don't get all wrapped up in how many times she did or did not ride with you, she is just saying she feels left out. Now I'm not saying she's right in having those feelings in any way. She may indeed just have to learn to deal with it. I'm just trying to help you get to 30+.

Dr. Phil, signing off...................

At least put a good heater in the garage.....LOL

I thought i had solved mine by teaching my wife to ride. Now she spends almost the exact same amount of time on her own bike as i do on mine. Dont get me wrong, there is nothing better to me than spending time with my wife (yes she is on this forum, Hi honey i love you!), but now she bitches at me because she doesnt have time to get everything done around the house because of all the time spent riding with me! Oh well ya live and learn and if your married, you get bitched at. Just the way the world turns, which means, it turns however a woman wants it to turn! Maybe this is one of those occassions i should have just kept my mouth shut huh?
