My wife forbid me to get a Motorcycle, so I got a Maxi Scooter, she told me she would never get on the back, 2 months after I got the bike she was riding with me to Niagara Falls and Blue Mountain Try to keep an open mind and respect her, but also, make sure she is always in the loop on what you did on your rides..... where you went how it felt, if she is the right one for you, she will eventually get on, and then she will get hooked like most of us.... This spring I bought a C50 Boulevard brand new, and she is on the back constantly, we go everywhere two up.... so much so that I have to find "alone" times to ride now LOL

As long as she "understands" your need to ride and isn't ****** off about it, all is good. I tried to convince my girlfriend (now my wife) to enjoy riding and she just never got into it. She is OK with my owning and riding a motorcycle and doesn't have a big problem if I take off for a Sunday to go for a long ride with the boys.

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.

My gf is a little different. She'll scream at me for speeding then tell me she wants to lead....then she's doing 40+ the speed limit on local streets. She's also locked the rear wheel before and slid for a good 20 meters leaving the riders behind her with a rolling burnout. We freaked out while she got off her bike like nothing happened and asked us why we stopped and were worried lmao

 

[black06r6]

She has no problem with me touring without her, but outside of work I just don't have a lot of spare time as it is.

Sounds like a trap seems she doesnt mind that you ride but she will make sure you have les and less time with the bike

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

epic!!! Dude is wise , you have my vote
PS... I got rid of the crazy girl who is scared of birds and am exploring the females that are more my type , outgoing and fun

 

[Roomie]

Yeah like where the fick are all the threads where men are forbidding women to do stuff?? why do wimps put up with this wife won't let me ****

 

[AL3RT]

Perhaps, you are not riding HER enough? She is getting jealous. :agave:

 

[ike]

Don't compromise yourself to please someone else.

+1 to this!

You should be accepted and respected by your significant other. You shouldn't be asked to give up who you are just to satisfy their need to control you. If it is like this now, 3 months into the relationship, where will it be in a year, or two? The controlling behaviour is not going to get any better as time goes on.

PS - interesting that in your poll, over 60 percent said to ditch the current gf!

wow!

I thought he actually gave some good advice. He jumped to a lot of conclusions about OP's gf and made some assumptions but I get the gist of it.

OP, if your girl doesn't want to get on the bike with you, that's fine, but make sure she understands you won't give up riding no matter how far along you are in the relationship (except on your own terms). Often these girls that have these sorts of feelings towards bikes or cars want you to give them up once a kid's on the way.

Sorry, but this is 2013, and that would be considered "abusive".
Watch TV ads...in 2013 they are all the same, hottie smartass wife married to a chubby dumbass husband, and she tells him how to do things. When men did this in the 50-70s, it was branded sexists (because it was), now in gender reversal, it's somehow ok.

Back to original post: if someone is in a relationship with you and feels the need to manipulate your behaviour or activities, then they need to find someone else. Otherwise, they will do this all your life and its divorcetown.

I really LOL'd at this. Poet of the year.

 

[Iggy76]

My wife said she does not like bikes, will not ride, doesn't like that I ride... etc. Riding is part of my life, as I work in the motorsports industry it is part of my job too. I told her from the get go: you don't have to like it, but it's not going to change. For years she hated bikes. I bought her a bunch of really good gear in case she wanted to go for a ride 2-up, and she will occasionally. But she doesn't really enjoy it yet, but she's trying.

OP: In your case, a relationship at the 3 month stage might be a little early to start worrying about long term concerns. You have many hurdles to get over before this one comes into play, don't borrow trouble. If you want out, leave. If you don't, stay. She will either accept that there things about you she can't control, or not... and then it will be her problem not yours.

 

[Sora]

Offer to take her for ice cream (or coffee, or something small that she really likes) that's close by, like a cute little early-relationship date.

Or tell her you think she'd look hot on a bike. (If she asks, 'what you don't think I look hot'? and she's NOT joking... it may be time to reconsider. If she's just joking then you've got a foot in the door!)

Or both.

Please tell me your definition of a rolling burnout...

 

[Face]

OP, there's some great wisdom in this thread, but given that you thought about it enough to ask the question, you probably already knew the answer. You just needed some help admitting it. In good relationships, you support your partner in their interests, even if its not your thing. So even if she truly is afraid or too physically uncomfortable to ride 2-up, she can still come watch you at a track day, buy you gear for your birthday, wish you a fun day when you go for a ride & meet you at a bar after, etc. And you should do the same for her. If its a problem now after 3 months, its only going to get worse. Time to cut & run!

 

[Wasted]

This is so stupid. Honestly.....if you have to ask a group of complete strangers on the internet if you should 'ditch her' than what the hell are you even considering??? You've already ditched her.
