View Full Version : Its a Miracale !!
I never thought I would see what happened to me yesterday. :shock:
My beautiful wife gave me the surprise of my life yesterday. She went out and bought herself BIKE GEAR :shock: , Boots, trousers, jacket, the Lot :shock:
You have to appreciate that my wife lost her dad to a bike accident and has always and understandably hated bikes.
So last night for the first time ever my wife and I went for a ride on the SV. I took her for a nice meal and we had a great time, She loved the bike and is looking forward to going out again, Only next time she would like it to be a bit warmer :lol: .
The SV will always have a special place with us for this reason. :D

Never mind Ed, my missus came out with me, as did my son...
My son has now out-grown his Cordura stuff, so as & when a new bike comes along I have promised him new leathers - the missus still has hers too :wink:
My enduring memory of having the good lady on the back was her tapping me on the back during a ride... When we got to the destination, she took her lid off and said "You were doing 110 back there..."
My answer "Was I?" :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
cool :thumbsup:
glad it all worked out .............get her to do her test & she can have the SV when you are in work

Nice idea and i would love it but one step at a time, can you get child seats for a bike :?: :lol:
So what brought her round? Continuous persuasion from you or did she just eventually want to find out what you enjoyed so much?
It's nice when someone does come around on their view of bikes. Even if they just realise that the bikes themselves are not always to blame rather than other road users and their lack of awareness.

Thats pretty cool; maybe she thought being on a bike will help her get over loosing her dad like that? I dunno, amateur psychologist here (i have an A-level!!!!)
My girlfreind has brought all her gear so far. And on friday se's gonna finish it off with a new helmet (borrowing my dads at the mo) and boots and leather trousers to accompany her aplinstars jacket and gloves (she's gonna be a walking alpinstars advert...infact...we both will :shock: )

It was a bit of both to be honest. But majority came from her. Her thinking was either she hates the fact that i have a bike and cant see the point or she joins in and finds out what it is i love so much about bikes and what the fuss is about.

It's cool that she's open enough to give it a go. Kudos to her for that - it takes a certain strength to challenge a negative opinion yourself.
This way it's also likely that she's going to be more relaxed about it an therefore more likely to appriciate the finer points. 8)
nice one.. glad that you guys had such a nice time out on it.. positive reinforcement of how great biking can be is going to make her feel a lot safer and, put her at ease that you ride as well.
