I know we have quite a few husband an wife riding teams, so seeing as how we are all family I could use your opinion or thoughts.
We went for a rather large group ride today(24 bikes). Young lady who is like a daughter to me has been arguing with her hubby since before they picked up the bikes to ride. I think the topic of the argument is irrelevant for my question. I would never get in between a husband an wife quarrel ( unless he hits my girl then it's on) so I stayed out of it.
Situation finally really fell apart when we were 90 miles away heading home, she said she was leaving an going home an told him to stay if he wanted to but she has had enough. I could see she was emotionally distraught an was about break down, I asked her to wait for me I would accompany her home. I would never let her ride home alone from anywhere under any circumstances, much less like this. She took off like a bat out of hell, I didn't even have time to strap my lid got her chased down an got her to pull over (Thank U Busa) so she could vent on me an get her calm enough to pilot her bike home. I did escort her home an she is safe an sound at home btw
Guys my question, would let your significant other jump on their steed when they are in that state of mind. Yeah I know, you are pissed, she is driving me crazy , she is being unreasonable. What ever feelings you may have at the moment, anger ,frustration. Would you let her ride ???
imo it's almost the same as not letting a friend drive drunk.
ps if there is a husband an wife team here that doesn't argue please write a book it will be a best seller for sure
