I love my wife very much I wouldn't want to think of living without her. She has no intrest in bikes exept that they make me happy or at least serve as a needed distraction.It is important to have different experences to share. It dose not have to be bikes but I don't think you have to be joined at the hip to have a healthy relationship. After 20 years or 2 months I would run out of things to talk about. In no way am I saying that rideing is more inportant. If the bike became a problem I would get rid of the bike not the wife. I am just saying it is ok to be different isn't that why you love them in the first place? ps hope he's a great guy and all works out .
Well, said~!~
The wife and I do pretty much every thing together, including ride (until this year). She has had her own bike but enjoys riding with me even more.
Since she has not been riding this year she has been very supportive of me going out on rides (don't do many night rides though). There again, if it were to become a problem...the wife would come first.
I don't know that I would do that so early in a dating relationship though. If I were just starting to date someone, I think the riding would still rule at least until it bacame serious, then obviously you have someone else to think about and make happy and some decisions/compromises might be in order.
IMO the prior post was right about not slamming him into a bunch of hungry male riders. He would probably not look at bike night any better after seeing how some of this generation acts around women, especially if you have dated any of them in the past. Let him get a feel for the lifestyle and go from there.
I can see this going either way, and no matter how many opinions you get on here............hope things work out.
