Without a doubt part of the reason we were attracted to each other. Back in our heyday we lived on our Harley. She still talks about it a lot and we ride as often as we can,we have a lot of other interests,she especially loves her summer home on the River.

Mine is the same way. I have come home many times where she met me in the driveway all suited up... More than once, I did not even get off the bike!

Are you sure she was talking about motorcycles? Anyway, no my wife likes to ride now and then, but she doesn't have my level of passion for it.

"As much"? Probably not. But, I'm pretty passionate about it.

That said, she does love to ride. See sig. We have a number of ride reports. She's the one that keeps it interesting.

PS - gf, not spouse

Oh, there is no doubt that it had double meaning.... BUT, she does love to ride.

After spending the day with her parents yesterday, her facebook status read "I need some Wind Therapy!"

She rode herself for a while, but she prefers to ride with me and not have to worry about anything. But, times like this makes her want her own. I get home from AFG in 6 weeks and I am never coming back, so that sort of thing will come up less often.

My wife loves to ride, there are times she will take the long way home from work, and get home an hour later. BTW work is only about 5 minutes from the house lol! Can't blame her, I've been doing the same thing for years! She has had her own for about 2 years and even though she won't ride as long into the winter weather as I do, any time it's above 55-60 she is ready to go. Here is a pic of her with her Iron.

Not much. That's the main reason I got a solo seat.
