Hubby--Mid Life Challenge????

Tweet

Ok, some of you may know this already, but wanted to explore the subject a little further. I am a 51 yr old grandma of almost 5 and hubby is a 50 yr old grandpa of same, who recently became interested in mortorcycles. Big time. It is like a middle-age thing. Not a crisis exactly, I think he just feeling the need for change...and maybe a taste of freedom from a very demeanding business life. I understand that if I want to see much of him in the coming summers and still enjoy life together, I am going to have to jump on board, literally! He bought a Honda silverwing, very comfortable for 2 and just finished getting his liscence. The other day he took me to buy a protective helmet and some gloves. I am kind of getting excited about this now. It seems more real now that he is including me. He has also joined a 'club'. I have been reading up on clubs. A good way to get know others who are interested in the same thing, I guess. Who knew there were so many? 245 registered across North America and counting, according to Motocycle Clubs Index: http://www.motorcycleclubsindex.com/Anyone else ride, as a passenger with your spouse/partmer/etc OR have your own bike and drive yourself? Want to share experiences with a 'newbie' who hasn't been on the back of a bike since her rowdy teen years, lol! The picture I posted is very similiar to the bike we got, but not exact.
