Take my wife ... please.

[the_Journeyman]

Well...  My wife likes my Ducatis.  She rides on the back of them and puts up with me riding like a maniac with or without her on the back.     My wife also re-locates my toe when I take my 30-year old dual-sport off road and come home with a dislocated toe    She likes my twins (and I like her twins) ) enough that we bought her a V-twin  , a Honda Hawk.  It's not a Ducati, but she'll understand why we like our twins   I think know I'll keep her

After I sold my car my wife says to me, "you should get a motorcycle."

And so I started looking at motorcycles.

And then she said, "Why don't you get a Ducati?"

And so I got a Ducati.

I just love keeping her happy.   

True story. But what's funny is my wife also wants to get a motorcycle and she's not interested in getting a Ducati. She's intimidated by mine, but I want us to match.

Well, my wife let me buy my bikes and lets me ride but she is pretty resistant to mods...Two out of three isn't bad huh?

Seems there are more riders with approving spouses here than not.  My wife is my usual riding buddy.  She's having to take a leave of absence from riding so my miles are down without her getting me up early on Sunday mornings to ride 80 miles just to get breakfast.  Only downside is she a passionate Valentino fan while I'm devoted to Ducs and Stoner.  Oh, and she won't let me trade in her SV650 for a duc.  Yeah, other than those faults, she is the best.

Very cool.

My wife likes to ride on the back, but I think I need to get her to drive one.

She's pretty damn good at riding 4 wheelers.

[TJR178]

My wife wants me to get a bigger one.



MOTORCYCLE, you pervs.  I'm 6'3" and she's 5'10", so the Monster isn't the best for two-up riding, but she still wants me to keep mine.  Cruiser, here I come.

You need to buy this t-shirt.

Got that shirt in blue and white. Wife hate's it for some reason.

She's cool about the bike, even helped me decide to buy it when I was dithering because of the 'impracticalities' (I'm an engineer).

ever since i got that life insurance policy my wife wants me to go out as much as i can... even buys me performance parts to make the bike faster... she even shows interest in working on the bike...i always see her messing with the brake lines... WAIT A SEECCOND!

Sounds familiar.

After we got married, husband took out a large life insurance policy on me, bought me new levers, put them on, then left the country on a business trip.

It was a few days later when trying to do an emergency stop that I discovered they weren't quite adjusted right and the brake wouldn't fully engage...luckily only resulting in a very minor wreck.

my wifey rocks.  after a lot of quiet lobbying over the course of 10 years, she finally warmed to the idea and let me get a Duc 5 months after the birth of our first child.  (in exchange, i sold my dreamcar and thereby marketed the idea as a good financial move.)  she loves that it makes me so happy.  and it probably doesn't hurt that Ducs are basically sex on wheels.

Then a couple weeks ago she comes home with a big gift-wrapped box for our son, who is now 20 months.  Inside is the little monster pictured in my profile.  How cool is that! 

She is the definition of keeper.

Well I broke down and got a bike for my wife. I tell you what! It was the  best damn trade I ever made... (no more pregnant dogin)
