How to get the Missus to love your RocketThree

My wife was not thrilled when I told her that I had bought my rocket3 way back in Jan. She was pretty pissed actually. This created a significant problem - Its all lose-lose when - every time you ride - you're doing something that your signifcant other has no "buy in" into and while there are blokes who would do it and say "F*&k it" thats not how my wife and I have built our relationship. In our marriage, We dont get to say "F*&k it" and go and do whatever we feel like doing, cos then whats the point of being married!

So we both sat down and talked it over and came up with a pretty amazing solution, she gets to be my riding partner and that means she's going to learn to ride a cruiser, get a motor bike license, buy a bike and ride with me. So she's started taking lessons and by the end of the year she's going to hopefully get a sportster (or a Bonneville).

Now she's a great sport and when our 6th anniversary came by, we planned to spend it riding down Pacific Highway CA 1 to Big Sur, have a nice anniversary lunch and ride back. It was magic, one of the best rides I've ever taken with my favouritest person in the whole wide world. I'm looking forward to the day when my son is grown up enough to join us on the scenic byways of Cali.

Here's the ride map and some snaps.
