Do you REALLY want your spouse along?

Absolutely not. Do you guys take your wives on fishing trips too? Or to the titty bar?
That's how I look at it. And she's perfectly ok with it. She knew what she signed up for. Besides, she's not interested, nor I am interested in her yoga classes.
Honestly, I think couples that are joined at the hip are a little weird. I think healthy marriage requires some healthy alone time. Mine is on my bike and trips and outings with my buddies. Nothing brings a trip down more than that one guy that just had to bring his wife or girlfriend, and you all know what I'm talking about. If you don't, you're that guy.

WIfe rides with me about 50% of the time. like riding with friends or to supper or for weekend trips or week long trips. She's low maintenance and alot of fun to have with me. She does say , you need to go ride with the guys. By the same token she does things with the girls. Sure is nice to have those 38's to lean back on.

To each their own TKDKurt. To answer your question, I genuinely like the idea that my wife and I have a similar interest and can enjoy it together. I spend most of my time on the bike alone with rare 2-up trips with Momma. She actually encourages me to get out on the bike alone or to ride with friends when i get the chance. I apparently do good enough making plans with her to ride that it keeps her happy. Win/win for me.

He!! yes I do. Its the best therapy for her MS..
If I don't take time for a ride every day we can she goes and changes her clothes and tells me to get ready, its time to ride.
I enjoy having her on the rear seat with me and she's been there probably 95% of the 35k we've put on our bike.
I really don't like to ride solo alone, and the few times I do ride solo is almost always with my son.
Reckon I prefer not to be a loner while riding.

So i guess im not the only one who takes the OL's mom out from time to time. She used to love being back there back in the day, but now that she lives solo it's not really an option for her. I take her when I can, even if it's a little pointless cruise around through the backroads.
