How does your wife/partner feel about your Hobby?

Met my wife at the track. She brought her son and daughter to ride. She never missed a weekend for the most part until I got hauled off in the meat wagon. She’s a fan, and thinks it’s cool, still. Still comes to the track with me from time to time and is also one of those “you need to go ride” wives. Ha!  Keepher!
 

re: the American “could care less” is a common statement but us lazy americas forget to say “but I don’t” afterwards. It’s just like “I can’t thank” XXX and always forget to say “enough” at the end. 

It’s a commonly misspoken phrase. You’ll hear that and “same difference” a lot. 

Wife loves it. It's something we've truly Bonded over these past years, especially since the first covid shutdown. 

I'm a lucky man who's thankful she is who she is. 

So what is it? A lifestyle?

wrong thread bro

If he’s like me. I eat, sleep, breathe, live MOTO(motorcycles). It’s a way of LIFE. Not just a hobby. 

Skate or Die

dude apparently every thread i comment in is gonna be the wrong thread.. lol 

Haterz wanna hate cause they fake....

Any way my chick really loves the sport EH. She really sends it eh, like pork and beans yuh noe like cabin sausage eh...

I don’t understand why some men let a women run or dictate their life. Do what you want when you want, if you can’t it’s time to find another girl.

Brain disorder, but in a good way lol 

My wife is very understanding. She even rides in the desert with me occasionally.

There's been some moments   but we're good.  I made sure she liked camping and riding before I married her. We raised our kids riding and desert camping with other families so that helped I'm sure.  

 There was this one time though when the kids were little, I raced something like 5 out of 6 weekends. I knew she was a little pissed but went anyway of course. When I called on my way home to say I was going to be late (pre cell phones) the answer machine said "Hello"  "Sorry we can't come to the phone right now, if you're looking for Bill he's not here, but try the motocross track where he is every single fucking weekend"  "If you see him there tell him his family misses him because we never see him around here anymore"    Click....      

Oh shit..... Guess I better plan a desert trip ! 

 That's great !  Stoddard Wells bell Mountain area ? 

Is her Husky lowered ? 

It's a bunch of drunk hippies dressing up like star wars. 

I'm not going to argue with a guy with the last name Fury.

I got my first bike when our daughter was a baby. It was 15 years old given to me free in pieces by my cousin. The next few years were very tough finding a balance with learning the sport and trying to make her understand why her husband wants to leave his family for an entire day to go try and kill himself. She compromised, I comprised. She knew if she pushed too hard I’d sell it and not ride anymore, and I’d hate her for it. I knew if I pushed too hard I’d loose my entire family and hate myself for it. Fast forward 17 years, my 13 year old son and I both race, follow every pro race and we’ve got “bike brain” as she likes to say. She’s there every weekend. She doesn’t miss a moto and the rest of the time she reads her book. It’s been work to get to this point but we’re in a good spot now and I’m enjoying the hell out of it. 

My Ole ladies only fans pays for my racing.

Essentially your a personal sponsor of my race program.

My wife is cool with it. On occasion she tries to ride and actually got her motorcycle license this year. When I got busted up and said I was done, sold my stuff, a couple months later she told me to get another bike, your miserable! That was 12 years ago(my accident, we’ve been together since 2002, the first picture was that year at her first race she attended with me) and she still “let’s” me ride. She was by my side while in the hospital and I am by her side while she battles cancer. Support your partner and they will support you back 

My wife is good. My son rides and my daughter rides every once in a while and my wife used to ride because I got her in the sport. Gotta say when your wife knows 80% of the riders when they’re on the track is pretty cool. She def does not like the starts,especially at glen helen. I got her into mountain biking so we do that together as well. I can get a bit obsessive sometimes and that’s what she can’t stand. 

If my wife was honest I think she’d rather I didn’t ride more to do with the expense than anything. 
It’s difficult trying to balance family and riding. We’re agreed that I can ride every other Sunday which is frustrating when most the races in England now are two day events.

She's not really impressed by it but she will go watch the supercross every year

My wife surprised me with my Kawi last year for Christmas. Sourced, Bought, and got it to the house all without me knowing. She's all for it. 

My wife would left me years ago if i did not have such big dick. 

Single dad had 2 bikes mine and my 5 year old sons when I meet my soon to be wife. She had a daughter and wanted both of them to learn how to ride. Now 22 years later 5 kids 2 grandkids 20 bikes in the shop makes my heart go brapp 😝

Well, she gets pretty grumpy when I haven't taken her out to a nice dinner in a while but she

sees shiny new parts on my bike. 

I am pretty much cut from the same cloth Sam. Would be cool if you and some other Louisiana dudes could make it out here for a week or so of MOTO. 

Sounds like we both married the same person lol . Every time I get hurt she asked if I'll quit even though she already knows the answer 

Married 30 years, been riding 50 years.  My wife doesn't go to the track because it's hot, dirty, and there's no decent place to pee.  All good, when I get grumpy or hang around the house a lot, she reminds me that I need to go ride, so, I do.  She says my mental health is so much better afterwards.

She gets it. Plays other sport, so it is second in her priorities as far as spending free time goes, but I can't complain.

I remember how hard it was dating girls with no real hobby or interest of their own, not the way to go.

yak651 .. that is awesome. Good on both of you. As a moto guy and a cancer survivor i get what you are saying  

As for mine... met her at the track. She is beyond supportive of my moto habit. here she is at the 2021 2 stroke nationals at GH when i raced a KX500 in the 50 expert class
