NEW RIDER AT LAST!!!!!!

[Yellow Jacket]

A while ago there was a thread going about how many of us had wives or girlfriends that rode with us.

For many of us our wives didn't ride and I was one of them. The operative word in the last sentence is was!




I've been riding for nearly 50 years and we've been married for the last 42 of those. Suzanne has always been deathly afraid of motorcycles and would not even sit on one. However, she never kept my from riding or from taking our children on rides with me.

Well, about three weeks ago, right out of the blue she says to me, "I want to ride over to the lake with you on the bike." I was absolutely stunned! I have never pressured her to ride with me so I was not expecting such a development.

It's only about 7 miles over to the lake. We mounted up and I rode the most careful ride I have ever ridden in my life. When we got home she said that she really enjoyed it and wants to ride more! We've taken a few more short rides since then. She even asks if we can go for a ride! I've got her gear on the way and then we're going to start taking some longer rides.

I can't describe how it feels to have the love of my life and my best friend sharing the enjoyment of riding with me.
