If she doesn't want to ride then don't pressure her.

Just go ride on your own. If it really bothers you then break up.

never pressured her, just keeping it bottled inside and hoping one day she'll be ok with getting on the back for a quick spin
 
It's called "working things out between the both of you"

Why are you posting this on GTAM??

it's not a huge conflict point between us, just something that bothers me a bit right now. i'm posting it here because there are other people here who ride who also have SO's who can maybe offer some insight.....
 
It's one thing if your SO has a problem with you riding a motorcycle, it's another thing entirely if you are expecting them to get on it with you...

It sounds like neither of you have reliable access to a car. It's fine to choose a bike as your primary mode of transportation (I have not owned a car for a while for various reasons) but you have to accept there are limitations to it. One of those limitations is definitely, it is not equivalent to a car in terms of taking passengers - some people will not be comfortable on a motorcycle, and they are in no way obligated to be.

i have reliable access to a car I just hate driving it in the summer. You make a good point though, she isn't obligated to want to get on the bike.
 
In the past I've never come across a girl who doesn't like motorcycles, except now I'm dating one. I didn't think it would bother me that much but it's really starting to get to me.

She's got back/neck problems and is afraid to sit on the bike in case of a crash. On the other hand I spend a lot of time on the bike and love to tour in the summer. I don't expect her to come with me when I do 500+km days but it would be nice to take a day trip to the beach or something, she won't even get on to go around town. She lives in a suburb and uses her moms car, so if I visit her we're stuck at her place unless she gets the car.

Does anyone here have a gf/bf/partner/SO that doesn't like bikes? How do you manage? Or do you recommend I just ditch...


Hey man, so I'm in a similar situation. My gf thinks motorcycles are cool and stuff but she is very scared of them and her parents would kill me if I make her ride with me. They think anyone who rides motorcycles is gonna kill himself/herself. I do wish she would ride with me since I also want to do small trips downtown, or same as you, it would simplify things a lot more when we go out... but I can't do anything but to respect her decision. I've been dating this girl for over 3 years now and I love her... so it's really up to you. I'm still gonna try to get her to ride with me with baby steps (she said she'd be ok with riding a scooter but not a supersport). In regards to the budget it's just whatever man, girls will always complain about **** like that because then you don't have money to do stuff with them... but that's just how it is, do what you have to do! If you have any more questions about my situation and how I handle it you can pm me.
 
That's fair, having a bike doesn't mean spending every last penny you have on it. You're not a horse owner.

OP: You could get a Ural and then she could ride in the sidecar.

She's suggested the Ural already, could be a decent compromise down the ride if we ever get serious enough lol
 
I say ditch the gf....you're still in your "honeymoon" stage and it's only going to get worse and she's going to speak her mind more as she gets more comfortable in the relationship. There are plenty of females who are into bikes...I wouldn't even consider dating someone if they didn't ride and own a bike but that's just me.

My friends always warn me that the girl you meet is a completely different animal from the girl you know after 1 year, 3 years, etc. I really wish I had all the time in the world....Maybe we should start motorcycle personals on GTAM
 
From a female perspective - I think it's ok that you don't share the same hobby. It's good to have some "you" time as it keeps the relationship healthy. From what I'm reading it doesn't sound like she's against you riding a bike. She just doesn't want to go get on it with you. You need to respect that. But if she's totally against it.... well that's a different story.

If you refer to her as an animal already, you're in the wrong relationship :p

Seems like you are really into riding...overall outdoor having fun kinda guy. I swear to you im not lying to you when i say DITCH HER NOW! i ride with friends from all different back grounds, and we all love riding, they all have girls who are into riding, going to the beach, the gym, traveling....having fun basically, one of them is stuck with a girl like yours, and he is always ****** and trying his best to make his girl have a good time, but she is always anti social, and even when she does come riding with him, he is never happy because she is being hard to please.

Im younger then them, i promised myself long time ago i would not date any chick that was not into cars or bikes, i just dont date girls outside this lifestyle, i dont care how hot or cute the girl is.

I'll tell you why, when i was in uni, i noticed two kinds of chicks, they both could be hot and cute as hell, but one was outgoing, fun, social, down to go for a drink, a bike ride, anything i wanted to do, while, another girl who was impossible to impress or ask to do anything. What you have, i call a souless girlfriend, its not them, they are just the opposite of us, they like staying home all day doing nothing, are scared shiitless of flies, bugs, even a bird taking a shiit infront of them. I bet your girl is also afraid of everything. This is nothing new, these kinds of girls end up with guys who are like them, shy, low key, anti social, afraid, stick to sissy Shitt. no offense to your girl. but i've had my own share of these kinds of aweful women.lol

If you talk to a girl you like, always ask her first before asking her out, so what do you do for fun? then ask her what did she do last weekend? then ask her if she likes bikes and cars? if her answers are ...not much....nothing exciting.....no. ....RUN AWAY! as fast as you can, these kinds of women for guys like us are a huge turn off and one of the worst types of relationaships.

If you want girls who are open and fun, you gotta find out if their into what you are first.


long story short, you know the saying, dont try to fix something that aint broken..... well Fuccck that....don't even try to fix something thats Already broken...get a new biiitch.lol

^^^ Silence beat me to it! :)

Is she worth giving up riding completely for, because that's where this is most likely headed?

I respect your guys opinion, but just saying there is nothing inlife one should give up for, specially if the other person is not willing to let you be happy with what you want, compromise is okay when you need to adapt to life, not when you need to give up what makes you happy or what you love. instead find someon who loves that same shiit as you, so instead of giving up who you are, you share the joy of what you love with someone who loves you for you and what you love, and they love the same shiit as you to, ****k everyones happy that way.lol
 
The back problems are an excuse for her to stop you riding. Believe me. I have three herniated discs in my lower back, had surgery on one of them, and I still ride.
My gf/common law also has a bad disc. It was her idea to get our license and I have never looked back. Best thing we ever did.
Now, she doesn't like to come on back with me because shes not in control ie scared. But she is practicing in the parking lots on my 250.
Your gf doesn't share the same passion as you, which is absolutely fine, but she should respect and understand your passion.
Whenever I feel like riding I just go. No questions or answers from gf and that's the way it shoul be.

Considering its only been 3 months, have a sit down meeting with her. If there is any hostility, get up and ride like the wind. There are plenty other fish. Dont ruin your passion as you only get one life and its a short one.
 
Couple of things. One, why is it a majority of women are terrified of ss bikes? My ex got on mine once, we didn't pass 70km/h and she thought I was going to kill us both. She also said shed be ok with a cruiser (scooter in your case). I'll never understand that.

Two, relationships are great but you both still need your own time and hobbies. Just because she doesn't like yours doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. I'm sure she's into something you're not fond of and that's what makes people different. Nothing wrong with it at all.

That's girl speak for "SS are so sexy I'm afraid of you picking up chicks"
Some of them are insecure. I've dated one who thought going to meets were posing around smackin girls ' arse. Wishful thinking, its more of a sausagefest
 
My wife doesn't really like bikes. No big deal..I go for rides on my own, it's healthy to have some time apart for your own interests anyway.
 
Well said. If you love someone enough, you will find as much time to be with her, if you love your baby more than girlfriend, you sure will be stress :)

Riding was more important to me than the last 3 girls, and the one I would give it up for wouldn't ever ask me to. If she's worth it you'll find a way to make time for both and if she's not you'll know because you'll be stressing about spending time with her and what she's gonna say while you're out doing what you wanna do (riding) ;)

That said my gf also refuses to get on the bike with me
