Smile Surprising First

I had a very enjoyable ride today with my wife of 13 years. I have been riding for several years, but my wife decided today that she would go along with me for her very first ride. We had a great ride in the country and then stopped in a small town for lunch and to visit some of the shops along the main street.

Upon returning home I asked if this was something she would like to do again. She replied yes I loved it, but I want my own helmet. I think I may be poorer with my new riding companion, but it will sure be worth it.

My wife had never been on a bike until we got this one. Now, the only time she doesn't go with me, is when she has to work. And honestly, I don't like riding without her, so if she can't go, I'll stay at home.

Now that she has got her feet wet, you guys should have many happy miles of riding together ahead of you! Wish my wife could ride, but cannot due to health problems, so it's just me, myself, & I.

Thanks, I am really looking forward to our next ride. I like to just take off and explore country roads and out of the way areas. Maybe hearing of the different sights is what finally peaked her interest.

Street Eagle I am sorry to hear that your wife has health issues.

My wife didnt like the whole idea of a bike. But after awhile she figured if I can't beat em might as well join em. Now comes the wife wardrobe upgrades.

That's awesome. My wife had never rode either, until we got married. Now the only time she doesn't ride is when I'm going to work. Ride safe..
