memorable thing your wife or significant other has said about their
riding apparel as you were leaving for a ride?
My wife and I were leaving for a ride one day when she realized she
forgot to get money for us to spend. When she came back out of the
house she scolded me because of the way I let her look. I asked her what
she was talking about, she said " I thought I was cute with this helmet on, I
didn't know I looked like Atom Ant!"
To this day, I can get a good laugh by calling her "Atom!!"
Anyone else??

 

funny lol....well I dont have any but.......helmets dont make anyone look good sometimes I think I look like a fool I hate helmets!! But what can you do I have to wear one.. well keep her in mind for a nice gift harley makes some nice girl helmets... I was in harley this weekend and my wife who will not ride was loving a purple helmet she saw there and asked me how much...

 

Not clothing related but my wife and I rode 2 up on a Sportster for about 2 years before we bought the Heritage. We had them both for a summer while waiting for the Sporty to sell. After riding the Heritage for about a month, we got on the Sporty again. my wife said "This feels like being on a baby bike!" It made me laugh.
(BTW, I loved the Sporty, just not big enough for 2 up)

 

OK, I gotta tell ya... my wife isn't like many other women. She cares very much what she looks like at work and when we go out, but on the bike she really doesn't care very much how she looks, cuz she's "dressed like a biker". I swear, that's what she says! She's an executive at an insurance company, really good looking, 5'8" tall, blonde (not her natural color, she does it for me!), nice figure, etc. But let me tell you though - you get her in her chaps, boots, black leather jacket, etc. and MAN she looks hot! Really hot! I often let her ride in front of me just so I can admire her from behind! Sorry if this offends any women riders here, but I am just SO damn lucky, it's ridiculous!

She did make a remark about my bike once tho - she said it reminded her of an afghan hound, with the leather fringe hanging down from the levers, and dripping with all the chrome stuff! I don't think she meant that as positive or negative, just a comment, but I took it as a compliment anyway...

BTW, I told her I was posting this, and she reminded me to tell everyone that she bought me a big 2-piece Husky tool chest for my birthday tonight (like SHE needs points...) a little early this year... my b'day is actually not until next month, but today I mentioned that a tool chest would be a nice thing to get me for my birthday, and she "OK let's go look at them." Wow! I've always wanted one, but have just never sprung the funds for one. Now I can finally store all my tools where I can find them when I need them, instead of rummaging around through stuff. Now THAT'S the kind of wife to have, guys!

 

"Does this look okay?"

 

She came downstairs all done up in her biker attire turns around and ask me if makes her look fat. I looked at her seriously and ask her if I looked retarded. A good running joke now she'll come out and ask if I'm feeling retarded and turn around.

 

Funniest thing my wife said about her looks, not necessarily bike related...

I'm laying in bed one morning, in that state of almost awake but just don't want to get up yet. She's doing her getting dressed, hair, makeup routine. She asks me "Is my *** getting big". For a few seconds, I'm laying there silent attempting to process this question as the chick weighs 100 lbs soaking wet. There isn't anything big on her. Even if her as were to conceivably get somewhat larger than it was, it would have a long way to go to big. So... I'm sure I heard the question wrong, so I ask her to repeat it. She does. I laugh out loud and respond "Yeah, it's getting HUGE!"

Now it's a pretty common joke. We'll be at a bike event and something will come up where I'll respond with something like "Yeah. I would have gone faster, but with HER fat *** on the back, it really slows us down!"

Funniest thing someone else said was in response to me telling a guy how my wife loves to ride and how when I get home from work, she's standing in the garage, black leather head to toe, waiting to go. He responded "If I came home & my wife was dressed in all leather, we wouldn't be going anywhere!"

 

First ride of the year last spring.
Wife:I thought this helmet buckled from the other side.
Me: Yea thats funny, I thought that sticker was on the back last year.
Wife: It was, who moved it!
Me: You did when you put your helmet on backwards.

She now has a new sticker on the front that says FRONT.

 

 

XRay... I know you won't buy this, but I actually have no pics of my wife in her riding gear, and damned few of her at all. Hard to hold the camera while riding behind her! Tried to take one of her in the gear once, but only the gear came out... apparently she doesn't show up in pictures...
