Dear Readers,

Q.  Do I have to know about motorcycles to cheat? 

A.  No.  But it helps!

You may have noticed as you browse Ashley Madison that a lot of men talk about motorcycles on their  profile.  Or share photos of them on a motorcycle.  There’s that whole risky, bad boy, studly thing going on.  And they wear leather.  Mmm… maybe the same guy who will take the risk riding a motorcycle is the one who also has the stones to cheat?

To be completely honest, motorcycles scare me.  One of my best friends from church when I was a little girl lost her dad to a motorcycle crash.  At my last employer, a woman was killed in a motorcycle accident, and her husband died as he sped to find her on his motorcycle.   Sure… several people lost their parents to car crashes, but that seems different.  I barely feel safe with two tons of metal surrounding me… I can’t fathom being unprotected and exposed to the elements and… just no.

But I get that it’s the ultimate turn-on for a lot of men.  I want them to share their passions, and it’s easy to learn a little bit and show enthusiasm and to sound different from their wives, who invariably forbid them to spend the time or the money on a motorcycle.  Philip dreams of riding motorcycles with his honey, cruising along the beach roads, making love in the dunes.  Not something I’d do, but I’ve learned the terms and listen to his dreams and encourage him to follow them.
