Its called a Hobby...Get one~
So i have really been wondering if all of your girlfriends, and or wives are supportive of you and your bike. Kind of a general statement but it seems to me i ALWAYS get some sort of coment when i bring something up about my motorcycle...
Heaven forbid i should by any aftermarket parts for my bike....Riding gear etc....
"You really dont need that do you..."
" I dont understand...you just go drive around....for what...isnt thats a waste of time..."
"Isnt a bike just to get from point a to point b"
I seem to be getting this all the time. I know some of you Have very supportive Significant others....i envy you! Because I rarely bring motorcycle topics into conversations anymore and its always a shock when i get a " Lets take the Bike.."
So in conclusion I love My Bike....

My fiancee wasn't supportive at first. In fact to talky and no touchy for about a week, LOL. But now, she gets pissed if I don't take her for a ride every weekend. But when it comes to buying parts or whatever, I get the same crap! "Why do you need that?". "How much does that cost?"..... But then I pull the ole, "You paid $125 on your hair for what??", "$50 on your nails to do what??" so yeah,its kind of a trade off.

I think its the same everywhere, I am allowed to ride whenever, but I ride alot with my brother-in-law, I guess the wife thinks I won't get in trouble with him. In the other case yes if I spend money on the bike there is always the "why".... I say because I said so, if I am the bread winner I decide what kind of sandwich to eat!! ha ha

Ive got a girl that loves to ride but not let me ride,I tell her about running from cops and how far i wheelied and how fast ive gone and just talk about tearing it up on the streets with my boys. but she loves it when i take her on it, do some beache cruising on PCH! shes a sucka for the beach. but i get the same yelling on why i need to spend 170 bucks on a set of crg levers or pazzo (i want a set reeeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllll bad) when the stock ones are fine. or why my exhaust cost so much and why i never put any money into her, but i put money into my bike. she pulls the line of i get to ride em both, but which one do i really love? I never answer that one, i quickly change the subject....
But we all know the answer to that one

Same here, man. She loves the bike...but she doesn't want me to go unless she goes too. Usually, however, she just wants to goget her nails/hair done and doesn't want to go. hell'uva catch 22, huh. I tell herI need my man time...alone time...that usually buys me a couple of hours here and there. And unless you spend money on them...they are gonna bitch about you spending money on your bike. They just don't understand what a power commander can do...or an exhaust.
...at the end of the day though.....I love her...even if she is a pain in the ***!

she even goes to the track with me and will video me racing.. (not to rub it in to anyone) just gotta give her some "props" for being supportive..

my girl is the same way, she gets mad if I don't take her out on the bike. She looks damn cute too all dressed up in her gear. I think she feels better after riding with me thatwhen i go out she knows that i can handle the bike. Her only concern is when i go out and have to be in traffic, we've all heard those horror stories. As for bringing parts home, i work at a dealer ship, so its bound to happen and she knows it. Damn i love my girl.
