How many of you took up motorcycling in middle-age? Was your wife hesitant in granting her approval?

Answer 1

No, I got it all in my wild years. My wife wouldn't have married me back then. When I quite riding, my wife came to the junkyard with me to dump the rust-hulk I used to love. It was a quiet ride in the truck.

Answer 2

Ive been riding for 56 years, ever since i was 12.

Answer 6

I have been Riding Motorcycles continuously since 1953

had a Girlfriend some 30 years ago say you are too old to be riding Motorcycles yes she became my Ex that day

Answer 7

I used to ride before I got married, then I quit because we were raising three kids and I was building a career. When the kids were grown and flew the coop, I bought a motorcycle and started riding again. I recently had to give it up for medical reasons, but my wife never gave me any grief about it. Not that I needed her to "grant" me her approval.
