Default Things I learned from my biker babe

A real biker babe is a rare and unique experience.

I had one for about 2 years.

It's like the chick walked out of my dreams and into my life.

She didn't want to learn to drive, she just wanted to ride pax.

We did everything together, went everywhere.

I re-learned to do things I forgot I used to love to do.

I was driving a bike 10 years before I got married, and after 25 years of playing it safe, started riding again.

Well the wife did not want to ride, but a freind of mine did.

The glow in the new me bacame something the wife wanted to be a part of, so she decided to join me rding.

long story short, the wife is now my biker babe, and we are both re-learning to do things we both forgot we used to love to do.

Great story! Thanks for sharing. It sure can make a difference in your riding enjoyment. I happen to have a real Biker Babe too. She rode behind me for awhile, then she started talking about having her own bike. As much as I miss her sitting behind me giving me a squeeze now and then, I encouraged her in her dream. She now has over 11K miles on her new Harley. Ride Safe!!

My wife and I do everything together. Hell, we even think alike. The same things come out of our mouths at the same time. When she's gone for a weekend I don't know what to do with myself. We got married when she was 17 and I was 20, no she wasn't pregnant. We have been married 28 years and I don't know what I would do without her. I guess I'm one of the lucky one's. Nothing better than taking off on the bike with her on the back.

I have been trying to convince my wife to become my biker babe for a while. I may get there some day. I am jealous.

Great story! My wife loves to ride with me, so I've made the bike as comfortable as I can for her.
