Same here.

 

Mine rides her own, Do I enjoy my solo rides yes, so does she, but if she wants to ride along I have no problems at all .

 

Happy Anniversary!

 

My wife rides her own. We enjoy riding together, we also each enjoy riding by ourselves. If I'm riding with a group she is probably part of it. I don't go on trips or rides with "the guys", too much whining and drama.

 

I enjoy having my wife ride with me. We don't really get to do it enough.

 

That's fair. It's tough to impart tone the way you want to in an internet post. I apologize if my perceived tone insulted anyone. In anticipation of my wife starting to ride with me, I really just wanted to know other people's opinions about whether they like riding with their spouses as much as, or more than, riding alone. As someone else noted, I think I will ride much more conservatively with my wife 2-up than I do on my own. (I'm much more concerned with her safety than mine.) I may find I like the 2-up experience as an equally enjoyable, but different, experience.

Ironically, my wife just went off to join a health club where she can practice yoga and try zumba and other classes for fun. As she was leaving, and talking about doing this for herself, she said, "That's my motorcycle." We understand each other well and know that giving each other space is important to a relationship.

For the record, like garand (Happy Anniversary, btw), I think my wife is hot too. This is a picture of us on our 34th anniversary last month.

 

Well, I ain't married & the GF has hew own sled, but my favorite way to ride is ALONE--no chick,no other riders,just myself. This way I go the speed & direction I want,stop when I want, & go home when I want. Same with travelling. Been to Europe & othe places by myself, & I love it. Especially love doing Daytona alone.

 

Great looking couple. Admit it, you've been doing Zumba also!

 

I miss having my wife/best friend on the bike with me. She loved to ride and we went everywhere. But I still plenty solo time.

 

Dickey, there has always been something that has drawn me to your posts. I know exactly what you're talking about. I know guys that won't go far unless they have another rider with them. When you're alone you can stop when and where you want and keep going if you want. If you see a strange road that makes you curious, you bust a u-turn and take it. This is just another reason I don't prefer to ride in groups or with a club. Two or three bikes really start to infringe on the freedom of doing what you want. My father traveled much of the U.S. alone on his scoot. I've also done a lot of alone riding in my time as well. Marriage is a bit like straddling a fence at times. I know the joy of riding the distance alone without having to stop or even think about checking in, but I also know the pleasure of a good woman and either having her with me or gladly stopping to give her a phone call.
