Why do you ride motorbikes?
I am a “bike wife”. If I want to spend time with my husband, Jon, I go where the bike goes. I sit trackside on ride days, keep tyres warm when he is racing, and give up weekends so he can ride with his mates. On Sunday mornings, we usually take his Harley somewhere regional to enjoy breakfast. I am also a “vacation pillion”, chauffeured by my husband on the back of a motorcycle on holidays around the world.
