Hi
Basically, I think to get your wife to join you, you need to get her excited about it. If you want me to talk to her, pm me your number. She has to want to do it otherwise it just won't happen. I honestly never thought I would be able to ride but I do. Not only do I enjoy the riding, I enjoy the new friends I have found through riding.
I met my boyfriend two and a half years ago. I had never been on a motorbike in any capacity when I met him. I went as pillion the second weekend and fell in love with the bike but could never imagine myself riding. However, I decided to learn (at 52 years of age, it was hard, but I got there in the end). After my CBT my boyfriend bought me a Suzuki GN125 and I did lots of miles on that learning road sense etc. He then bought me a BMW F650GS and I took my motorbike test on that. I passed on the Wednesday and crashed on the Saturday shattering my shoulder in 5 places and my wrist. I couldn't ride for 5 months but got back on and took further training both on BikeSafe and RoSPA.
I love riding now and can't wait for the spring so I can get back out on the road again. I am even planning a trip along Route 66 in America.
I hope you manage to encourage her!
