(Reference: "Take my wife, please." is an old one-liner from Henny Youngman)



This thread is dedicated to our lovely wives and what motorcycle things they "let" us do.

Wives are wonderful, don't get me wrong.  Kiss

But I know a lot of guys whose wives won't even let them buy a motorcycle. And there are other wives who let their husbands buy a motorcycle, but won't let them go on group rides, or spend money on mods, or whatever.

So this thread is for those stories of men whose wives oppress.

Share your Ducati vs. wife story with us!

I've been lucky.  My ex-wife of 21 years rode her own motorcycle and my current girlfriend also rides.  She has an SV650N and a Suzuki M50.

I said, I want a Monster, I've wanted one since 1994, I got this new fangled job, I need a '03 Monster 620 with 4250 well cared for miles to go along with it! She said, fine, and I bought it. [moto]

I aint griping.  

My wife of 29 years tolerates all my expensive habits.  I have a fleet of motorcycles, regularly go on extended rides with "the boys" and buy goodies at will.  Life is good, My wife is a saint.

She has a bike and is working on riding now and hopefully will get confident to the point we can ride together, she does not much care for riding on the back.

Bike vs. Girlfriend


The lass was out there lubing my chain on the S4R when the kickstand caught on the ground. When she went to lean it over, she didn't realize the kickstand wasn't where it was supposed to be, and it fell on her.


After her knee recovered, I married her and sold the bike.


I guess she won.  Tongue

no issues here, so long as i don't put the family finances in jeopardy.  i think she realizes that the money
spent here is peanuts compared to what could have happened.

1987 honda NT650
1990 ducati 851 BP
1997 Yamaha YZF1000
2004 S4R
