Third Date by JJ Spainillustration by Wayfarer He introduced Mary to her first motorcycle ride. He pulled alongside a Ford Focus using the right turning lane. At the last second, the Ford also decided to turn right. The car’s front fender gave the cycle an extra boost off the two-lane, crashing through a picket fence. Able to slide to a stop still upright, he sighed. His left knee put a dent in the black tank. His date was scared and crying. The bastard driver of the car didn’t stop. They rode to her house to ice his knee. Two years later, he took a knee and she said, “Yes.” (publication dated 16-Apr-2024) GET THE RIGHT RIDING GEAR FOR YOUR GAL — GET TO 5-Ball Racing Garage — click to launch.

Wendy McGean fulfilled her dream — of driving cross-country on a motorcycle — at 55 years old Suddenly, in her late forties, Wendy McGean started having an unexpected reaction every time she’d spot a motorcycle on the road. “My head would just pivot and I’d think: ‘I really want to do that!” she told CBC Montreal’s Daybreak. At the time, she thought it was an odd feeling for a married mother of two teenage daughters with a white collar job. “It was a very traditional kind of life,” she said. Before she knew it, McGean was leaving all that behind — her home, her job, even her marriage. “Some people thought I’d absolutely lost my mind,” McGean said. “I just completely turned my life upside down.” Just one kick at the can McGean started to chase her dream of riding a motorcycle at 51 years old, signing herself up for circuit training.

She said it was “love at first sight,” and suddenly McGean was buying a bike of her own. “I think it’s the first thing in my life I found that I thought, ‘this is mine,’” she said. “It represents complete and utter freedom.” Not long after McGean got a taste of that freedom, she suffered a major loss.

Pink and Carey Hart marked their 14th anniversary with a motorcycle ride. The loved up couple – who married on January 7, 2006 – wanted a low-key celebration to mark the occasion, and they decided to hit the road in California earlier this month to enjoy a trip together. She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: We went on a motorcycle ride. We went to Ojai and stayed in an Airstream and it was really fun.” The pair – who share daughter Willow, eight, and son Jameson, three, together – are grateful for each other and the family they’re raising. Pink added: ”I mean, it’s fun to have a family and to be able to say, ‘Do you remember?’ or I’ll say something like, ‘I can’t believe my dad said that.’ ”And Carey will be like, ‘He said that 10 years ago.’ And I’m like, ‘He did?’ So, it’s good that he reminds me of what happens in my life.” The two lovebirds both shared romantic posts on Instagram last week to mark their anniversary, with Pink admitting their relationship ”isn’t perfect” but still showering her man with praise. She wrote: ”We’ve been at this thing a long time, babe. It isn’t perfect, but I’m grateful it’s ours. ”I love our family. Thank you for walking in front of me, beside me, and right behind me at times.” And Carey described his wife as his ”best friend”, while admitting she doesn’t like it when he says that. He said: ”14 years married to this amazing woman. I’m so proud of the life that we have built together. ”Both of us came from broken homes, yet we made the choice to work hard at our relationship.
