SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED AND MOTORCYCLES.

~ creakingbones

I learned to ride in 1961 as part of my job. Later on my skill set no longer required motor cycle riding. Nortons and Triumps became a thing of the past for me.

Fast forward to 1990 and my motor cycle licence was reissued.  SWMBO also qualified that  year and we have been riding ever since.

Suzukis, Hondas, Triumphs, BMW’s and Harleys have all graced our garages over the years. SWMBO disliked the Hondas and the Triumphs but the big BMW suited her perfectly.

I  became Life Members of the Harley Owners Group way back in 1991 and SWMBO became a Lady of Harley and a Life Member in 1998 as she was regularly riding my Harley.

SWMBO rode my 327 kilo(dry)  Heritage Softail Classic almost daily for three months in 1999 while I was recovering from major surgery. I reckon it was the real beginning of her Harley love affair which culminated with her Sportster purchase in 2003.

Here is an image of  SWMBO’s HOG vest. 2017’s rocker has only just arrived and is yet to be sewn on.

 BACK : NOTE THAT SWMBO HAS RACKED UP OVER 80,000 MILES ON HER HARLEY. 

Here are a few shots of SWMBO’s own bikes and images of a few of the rides she has been on.

Who knows what other images of SWMBO I’ll uncover as my clear out of the studio continues.

Hoo roo for now.
