That poor guy. . . . he must be a newlywed. . . . if he actually thought she meant to do what ever he wanted. Those of us "experienced" married people know, that when that statement is made. . . . whatever you want to do. . . . had better be the last thing you do.

I thought he was pretty persistent. He got to 7000kms before conceding defeat.

I'm always curious when someone finds out I ride then tells me his wife made it very clear he's not allowed to ride a motorcycle. Really...or is that just an excuse. It's okay to say you're not all that interested in riding. I don't mind. I can't imagine what my life would be like if my wife told me I can't ride...and expected me to obey.

I don't know that Suzi looks pretty good. I would have to think long about the one i would getting rid of! Ha ha.
My wife actually tried to have me tell our boys that they couldn't get bikes. Asked her if she realized how much of a hypocrite that would make me. Tell my boys they couldn't ride. . . . as I got on my bike to go to work?

Maybe the best move i ever made was buying my wife a motorcycle (XT350) in our first year of marriage. Still paying dividends 35 years later.

Pretty much got my ass handed to me recently by some female adv riders in a FB post because a dude posted that he was looking for someone to join him on a scheduled ride after his regular riding buddy backed out because "HIS WIFE WON'T LET HIM GO ALONE". It was just a bit of good-natured ribbing, and I get the wife being worried, but if you post in a public biker forum that momma won't "let" you go on a trip by yourself......there's a certain amount of ball-busting to be expected.
Do tell what you posted to piss them off. 'Cuz, you're right. If you're not allowed to ride without a buddy. . . . you don't post that. . . . without the expectation of catching grief. It might also say something about his abilities. If I couldn't ride alone. . . . I'd never get to ride.

I simply posted that I was busy but I hope he finds someone that his wife will let him ride with.
And why does the guy need somebody to ride with him?
fwiw - My wife was/is one of the most manipulative people I've ever met. She doesn't mean harm, just that life is a game for her to control what everybody else does.
It's a big reason why she's my ex.

Well, playing out and about in a bunch of technical chit it's nice to have a buddy along to help lift this machine or help drag her out of a failed river crossing.

The guy I was teasing seemed ok with it, understood we were just breaking balls. The females that weighed in were not happy with me. (Story of my life)
I've said it before. . . . A man's got to know his limitations.

Plenty of very good reasons not to ride alone.
The majority of my riding is alone.
