Ahem, on behalf on the 'Older Models' out there, I have to say I loved riding. I am the one who is encouraging hubby to get a replacement bike. But first his bones have to be completely healed!!!
On behalf of ALL the Wives out there, I gotta say its NOT about the guys going biking, its about NOT meeting her needs (time, attention, etc) So, you got a lunch out, she got....?? You got your ride time, a break from work. She had her day off from work and she is probably facing vacuuming, grabbing groceries, flipping laundry loads and finished cleaning the bathroom and you arrive with your happy happy self.
My husband has a Mission Statement: " Happy Wife, Happy Life " and yes, its work'n for both of us!
Ya, I'm home after riding all day. Got up rode 60 miles to this nice little seafood restaurant I like. Stopped by a dealer while I was in the Bay Area and had them change a part that was on re-call. Stopped at the Arlen Ness shop on the way home. Also saw a guy I used to work with as I was white lining down the 280. It was an all around great day!! I walk in the house and it's colder in here then it is outside. You know why right?? Ya, somebody is p!ssed because I had a great time!!! Started to turn my happy *** around and walk right out. But I think to myself, no. Screw it. I'll just finish up a great day right here at hdforums.com.
My ex was the same way,I could never figure out why she refused to go anywhere,do anything or even make a suggestion to get the hell out of the house.We have 3 kids but at any given time either my side of the family or hers,would gladly take the kids for a weekend and let us go,i wasnt home much as i was in the navy.I figured she would be climbing the walls to get out and go blow off some steam and have a good time.I guess not,I even tried the 'Hon, go call your friends and go out'. NO WAY she wouldnt do it,But heaven forbid i was allowed to go and feel good,I was supposed to sit in the house and be miserable too,I did it for awhile but then i just went ahead did what i wanted with the kids or myself.
We've all heard about people having guts or *****, but do you really know the difference between them?
In an effort to keep you informed, and to alleviate further confusion, the following definitions are listed below:
GUTS - Is arriving home late after a day out on your bike, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: 'Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'
***** - Is coming home late after a day out on your bike, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the ***** to say: 'You're next, Baby.'
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately result in death.

I can feel your pain.....I have a lot of friends and they can't get out without there wives on the back if the bike. As long as their not nagging and can let their hair down and enjoy themselves, then that's great. If it's going to be pure torture then let them do what they want and you do as you want. Sounds like you have the right idea Rhonda! Can be a dangerous thing for a women to send their man out on a Harley, by himself to play (in my opinion). There are a lot of single women that would love to fill that back seat! Then again some guys find that their bikes are their mistress.
