Tips For Romantic Motorcycle Rides

There is an undeniable element of romance about Indian® motorcycles that not even luxury cars can beat. Being out in the open with your partner behind (or beside) you, the roar of the bike, the rush of the wind ─ it’s enough to stir romance in the toughest of hearts.

We’ve given you some motorcycle tips about romantic bike rides with your partner. For more information on the perfect motorcycles for you and your significant other, come to Indian Motorcycle of Orange County in Westminster, California.

Discuss Your Plan

While we agree that arriving at your date’s house riding a gleaming Indian® motorcycle is the epitome of ‘cool’, you should really give them a heads-up about it. If you don’t, your date could be totally unprepared. You don’t want them spending the entire ride worried about their hair getting messed up or getting sunburned because they wore the wrong clothes.

One Or Two Bikes?

Does your date have a motorcycle of their own? If yes, you can ride side-by-side to your destination. Just make sure you’re riding your motorcycle at a speed which suits their experience level and don’t turn the ride into some sort of a race. You can share some motorcycle riding tips with them if they’re not very experienced. If your date doesn’t drive bikes, then they’ll be sitting behind you, which can be very romantic too. You’ll have to bring along a helmet for them.

Perform A Sacrifice For The Weather Gods

Or, if you’re not a talented practitioner of the dark arts, simply check the weather for the day of your date. A very important bike riding tip is: it’s best not to go on a motorcycle date in very rainy and windy weather. Sure, Hollywood might make it seem romantic, but if you’re struggling to control your bike and your date is getting splashed by dirty puddles, it might not be the best date.

Choose Your Destination Together

Make sure you both agree about where you’re going to go for the date. If your date has their own motorcycle, then you have to plan the route together too. Surprises can be romantic but they can also backfire. Try and choose a destination that isn’t too far and is a place where both of you would like to spend some time.

Prep Time

What you need to carry depends on where you’re going. The beach and the mountains need different gear. Some things which come in handy no matter where you’re headed are a good toolkit, some form of music (radio, smartphone with speakers, etc), food and something to sit on. The best bike tip is to get your bike serviced before your date. Nothing will ruin your bike date more than a motorcycle that refuses to run smoothly.

Remember It’s A Date

If you’re like most Indian® motorcycle enthusiasts, you probably live to ride your bike. Just remember this is a date and dates work best when you can focus on your partner. A 45 minute motorcycle ride is ideal. Anything more than that could tire one of you out, ruining the romance. If your partner is on their own bike, then keep pace with them.
