My wife is even getting in on the 2 wheeled world. Has completed her pre learners and just gotta do the computer test.
I picked her up a Honda CB125E yesterday and rode it home lmao. I’m 6’ 116kg, from a distance it would have looked like my arse had just eaten a Motorcyle lol

Ceramic coat headers , can't quite decide = either semi gloss or flat black?

Yeah I’ve already been given a serve from the boss. Have so many things I want to change or upgrade and she’s like wtf you just bought a brand new bike and wanna change it ..... to which without hesitation I’m like ummmmm yep

At least she's into , and getting a motorcycle license.
My missus ( we've been together 12 years now) , because her son is way into bikes ( but way more into off road). And sore what he did as a young bloke.
She was very very sceptical and slightly reluctant
First time down the end of the street and we'll see .
She's been on lots , but not anywhere near lately and trying to explain her movement at critical times is = well crap = not helping the handling= well I'm talking to a brick wall .
She still love's to totally bend the truth / her / perspective as a novice passenger and tell people how we travelled down to her brothers place through windy roads doing 200klmph

Yeah it's called personalise/ so it's yours .
People that just view cars/ bikes as transport will never understand the passion/ connection that people that love/ connect to their vehicles .
Their also probably are the sensible ones . But l'm happier where I am

That’s a beautiful collection of bikes there I’m a tad jealous

well I must say she’s almost clocked her first 1000k’s now and oh wow it’s such a lovely bike to ride. Going down the M5 where the M7 over pass is, is usually like a wind tunnel there and on high wind days it was horrible on the Ninja having big full fairings there wind would slam you and you really had to fight to keep it upright, the H-D barely has a little flutter, it’s so solid I love it.

cheers...the Matchless was a twelve year restoration by me finished in 2000, all before the interweb , after 20years of abuse she is now getting a mild resto , i believe in restore em,ride em,restore em again....the FLH is an 80cube which i bought three years ago with a genuine 4000miles in mint condition and is one of the last years of the shovel it now has 9000miles on the clock....the cb 175 is unrestored and gets me to work mostly 6 days a week or i might ride the cb 72 sometimes which i did a complete overhaul of the engine last year. Its a very interesting Honda as its OHC runs on 4 roller bearings as does the con rod big ends.The Yam is my first motorcycle which i had way back in 1981 and got her back amazingly ..i did a nut and bolt resto on her five years ago and drag it out for local club runs...gotta love a two stroke!!!
