Extreme motorcycling has met its better half, and invited her for a romantic ride on the highway. Riding a motorcycle with a loved one is an exhilarating experience, and an excellent way to bond and travel in a much closer fashion than on a plane or in a car. When a significant other is introduced to the riding mix, testosterone and speed make for a dangerous combination.
The couple in this video seem to have invented a new type of couples therapy. Rather than sitting in a stark, dated office punching pillows and venting to a therapist, these two prefer to let fear and adrenaline solve their marital woes.
I don't know about you, but after hurtling down the highway at breakneck speeds on one tire sans helmet, arguing about whose turn it is to do the dishes probably doesn't seem as important as it did before the ride.
