When the kids finally move out to go off to college or get married and start families of their own, many couples experience a sense of sadness. But after a short adjustment period "spouses often realize that they have more leisure time, more money, and more freedom to reengage with each other," says Sarah Mahoney in "Marriage Advice: New Rules for a Good Marriage" in the April 29, 2008 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

Both Psychology Today and NetDoctor suggest using your newly rediscovered freedom as empty nesters to take up new hobbies or activities or resume those that you put on hold while your time was more fully devoted to your children. For many of us in that empty nester age group motorcycling has become not only the perfect activity, but also a passion that we share with our spouses that brings us even closer together.

The Biker Lifestyle

When people used to picture a biker they often thought of a scruffy guy with a beard, tattoos and a leather vest. In recent years the image of the motorcyclist has gotten better, thanks in large part to TV shows like American Chopper, Biker Build Off, Monster Garage and the two Ewan McGregor documentary series, Long Way Round and Long Way Down. While the image of the outlaw biker is still portrayed on shows like Sons of Anarchy and Gangland, the fact is that the motorcyclist as hoodlum is the exception. One of the names given to such individuals is "one percenter," signifying that they make up only one percent of all motorcyclists.
