Getting married this August, and she's pressing me to start figuring out the honeymoon. She definitely wants the typical "tropical island / beaches" honeymoon deal, but I'm determined to find a way to incorporate something moto related into the trip...
I found a moto adventures company in Costa Rica http://www.costaricaunlimited.com/ Anyone done this or something similar anywhere else that fits the "tropical honeymoon" requirement? Obviously I'd only be able to swing a day trip of riding (while she gets pampered for a spa day or massages or whatever those cucumbers on the eyes thing is)..
Any input is much appreciated!

That's what I would do.
Oh ya, congrats.
Poor bastard.

Don’t do it.
You will both sacrifice different things to meet the others needs. This is part of marriage.
She probably dreamed of her wedding day her whole life. Doesn’t matter what she tells you. The honeymoon and wedding are all connected. Give her this week or two weeks. Looks like she deserves it. And if she didn’t then doubt you would be marrying her.
Moto will be there when you get back.
Bali
Bora Bora
Turks & Caicos
Tahiti
Mo'orea
Aitutaki
Plenty of places for you guys to go. Put a bunch of places in a hat and draw one out.
You'll regret nothing.
Besides you never know what could happen if you go out riding. Just imagine something goes wrong and you end up breaking an arm or ankle. Pretty sure the last thing she wants to do on your honeymoon is sit in a hospital. No matter how much she understands your passion/obsession that wouldn't make for great memories.
Skip the moto and whenever the MXdN goes to a country you're interested in visiting book a week off, watch the race, tour the region and do a little moto there instead. Win win for you both.
You got a great opportunity in front of you. Don’t get selfish. If this is your girl then fuck moto for a few weeks.
the other option is the GP on Indonesia, but the island its on is not a hotspot for tourists, but going their and then Bali could do the trick,
but of course you'll never argue
have fun no matter what you do. Honeymoons are always the best vacations.
Probably get kidnapped if you tried riding on it.

Every time you're in the doghouse you'll hear about how you ditched her to ride dirt bikes. Go on a hike take a blanket and some wine and bang in the jungle like animals instead.
I say this with 30+ years experience.
Having said that, if your after touristy resorts, Cancun. More intamite, St Croix. But don't know how things are after damage last year.
A very fun memoriable day would be both taking a supervised intro to scuba day. She will get hooked and you'll be on that Costa Rica trip with moto day before you know it, as a scuba trip of course!
TM,
You're welcome
With 43 years of marriage under my belt I can tell you that skipping the moto on the honeymoon will pay off for you in the long run. I can practically guarantee that if you go ride, no matter what she says now, it will come up repeatedly at times unfortunate for you.
So, you want to enjoy moto through out your marriage? Forget this idea and make the honeymoon about the two of you.
