Nice pic, I see no bits I need unless u have a canyon undertray, mmm, maybe the sun glasses, that's the trouble with these younger models, they age to damn quick

Who cares? Gets you out the way while she pushes the hoover round!

In seriousness, as long as you have things you enjoy doing together (not just that ) it doesn't really matter. If she lets you ride and doesn't drop hints about jogging in the bike I'd live and let live. Don't talk bikes at her though, it is really boring!

do you have both a pointy and curvy?

And where did she get those buffalo gloves from, quite like them ***


*** i.e. code for if she's not planning on giving the biking a shot can I have first dibs?

I did at one point, but now i have 2 x pointy heres the other


The golves are crap, fell apart after 500 miles pillion use.

Fair enough, worth a shot

....she's done 500 miles pillion? And she's supposedly not that into it? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick? Does she just ride on the back because its something you want her to do then?

shes probably been on various bikes as pillion 6 or 7 times probably 80 miles approx. each time.

She like going on the back of the 125 as it only manage 65mph with 2 people on.

Think she does it because she wants to spend time with me and i spend a lot of time on bikes

Then you really need to get her out meeting other ladies on rideouts. It will do her the world of good. She clearly isn't daft and readily accepts that biking is a part of your life she can't take away from you (like so many lasses try to do) so you need to make the effort and introduce her to other bikers. Once she's made a few friends and, as people have said, it turns into more of a social event she will have something to look forward to and will see that she can get something out of it without actually having to do anything

Like BanannaMan & Ed, sometimes it just doesn't happen.

As long as I let Mrs B knows when I'm going to be home, or I ring her if I'm gonna be late, thats as far as her interest goes.

Every so often she come down the local bike shops, in the car, but to be honest it spoils it for me - "ooo look, nice shiny bikes." "Yeh, *yawn*"
