By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-08-19 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bizarre-couples-therapy-extreme-motorcycling-for-two References: [collegehumor](http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1826695) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-r-1300-r-roadster) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Extreme Motorcycling for Couples:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop specialized motorcycles and safety gear designed for two riders to enhance the extreme motorcycling experience for couples. - **Adventure Therapy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create adventure-based therapy programs that utilize extreme sports like motorcycling to help couples overcome relationship challenges and build stronger bonds. - **Extreme Sports Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish destinations that cater specifically to couples seeking extreme sports experiences, such as motorcycling tours and adventure retreats. ### Who This Affects Most - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with designers and engineers to develop purpose-built motorcycles for two riders, tapping into the market of couples interested in extreme motorcycling. - **Therapy and Counseling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate adventure-based therapy approaches, including extreme sports like motorcycling, into traditional couples therapy practices to offer unique and impactful counseling experiences. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create all-inclusive vacation packages that combine extreme sports activities for couples, positioning the experience as a thrilling and adventurous alternative to traditional romantic getaways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transformative Couples Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bionic-bloom.md) - [Riproaring Sport Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-sport-motorbikes.md) - [Couples Recipe Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recipe-therapy.md) - [Breathtaking Bobber Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobber-motorbikes.md) - [Motor-Powered Diwheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-diwheel.md) - [Adventurous Off-Road Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super73-adventure-series.md) - [Motorcycle-Training Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycletraining-gadgets-rawrrs-wheelie-helper-is-the-perfect-practice-to.md) - [Accurately Maneuverable Motorcycle Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycle-trailers.md) - [Dual-Rider E-Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-easy-sidecar-3.md)
