She's a keeper!

My wife's been a pretty good sport about me buying this bike - and all the boxes from UPS.

She mostly held her tongue when I came back from my first few rides telling her how unbelievable this bike is.

So Sunday she tells me she wants to go for a ride. Cool! First passenger. :thumbsup:

We don't have all that much time, since she's gotta go to work at 5, and I map out a short loop. We've been stuck behind cars and I'm thinking I gotta show her what this little beast will do. Turning left at the light onto a two lane road, I see that all the cars have moved into the right lane, so I tap her leg to let her know to hold on. We're going maybe 20 mph in 1st gear, so I roll on the throttle to give her a little taste of brutal power. Instead of the slam your butt backwards that I'm used to, the front end comes up like a freakin' works dirtbike! Guess it was the extra 105 lbs in back that made her come up so easy. I'm so startled that I chopped the throttle and the front end slams down a touch crooked in what might've been the world's worst wheelie. I start laughing my azz off, partly out of relief and partly cause it's so darned funny as my wife starts hitting me on the back yelling "Don't do that anymore!" :rofl:

Any other woman would've told me to sell my Busa. :angel:
 
Forgot to mention that I cracked my nuts on the tank when she came down! Now I know the real reason you guys all buy Tobin seats!!! :rofl:

My wife and I did that in second gear while letting a Harley know we was in charge...lol, straight up 12 oclock, we did manage to pass him though and I did bring her back down safely, the wifes right foot came off the peg and kicked me in the right hand(wife is 6 foot) that hurt like a @%$^ the guy my friends all had hear attacks, and they guy on the Harley caught me at the next light and shook my hand....I whent on letting him think I had done that on purpose...LOL
:beerchug:
 
Mine is the same when it comes to my toys, at the time I had a "no expense spared on motor" zx11 and she USED to love to ride with me until we were going to our local track one night and as I am stopping to make my left and about 10MPH I hear tires squelling and see this car half sideways in the mirror, being in first gear I grabbed a handfull to get the hell outta the way, well she was not exactly holding on and actually adjusting her gloves and dang near fell off. Luckily we were not hit and she did not hit the ground, after 3 years shes ready to try it again...

Same thing happened with my wife , we were going together then and I said " want to see how fast it is ?" She said "sure" , ( she had never been on a motorcycle EVER till that moment) . Well , like you said the wheel came up with the extra person on the back so easy I was surprised , but I put it down . Anyway we went home and 7 years later she has only ridden with me ONE more time .
 
My girl too loves to sit on my B@by cause its quiet and always caught her off guard when i need to increase my accleration to overtake some pain in the neck vehicles:laugh:
 
You are a lucky man. I told my wife that I finally took my busa for a spin and made it to 130mph. I'm still looking for that thing that I used to sit on.

:rofl:

Note: skinny, tall, beautiful wife for free home without busa!
 
lol... similar one happened with me, but wifey behind me in her car both at a red light. Hits green and I'm off, but I swear it I had no intentions of lifting, and up on one she goes. Same reaction, due to surprise lift I let go and BAMM... Surely she though I was doing acrobatics. I assure you it took me 4 times longer to reach home that day, waiting as her anger smoothes down... Somehow she remembered though, I shoulda saved the fuel! :laugh:
 
My wife loves the bike and has been cool about all of them. I have had 5 in the last 2.5 years.:whistle: Any way I have a few of these stories. So hang on this could be a winded post.:laugh:

First time she got on a bike with me I had a 93 cbr 600. We idled through the neighberhood until I made a right turn on a main street by our house. I figured I would open it up and let her get a taste of some acceleration. Only thing was I forgot to turn the fuel petcock on when we left the house so when I gave it gas the bike stumbled a bit. So I thought what the hell is going on and twisted the throttle wide open. About that time the carburators sucked up what fuel was left in the bowls and the front shot up like a rocket. Kept it under control and landed it as it died from lack of fuel. She never said word. Thought it was fun actually after it was all over.

Ok last one I promise. Had been out riding on the ZX-10 and the wife had mentioned she wanted a little speed run before we headed home. I got on a good straight by the house with no side roads and I opened her up. Usually if it gets to much for the wife she taps out and I roll of the throttle. I was thinking the whole time man she is really hanging in there today. As I began to slow down at the end of the straight I felt her slapping me all over my helmet. I was like what the hell. Then she told me she wanted to tap out but we were going so fast that she couldn't let go of the tank to tap out with out falling off. Once again though it was all good when it was over and she laughs about it every time I tell the story.

Now don't get me wrong 99% of the time we ride at moderate but safe pace. These are just a few times either me or her felt a little need for a rush and induldged. Best thing is she loves to ride on the back and would never ask me to get rid of my bike. :thumbsup:
