I had been chatting with Joe on Grindr for a week or so. He had a great profile and attractive face and body photos. We seem to be a good fit - he was a dominant top and I like to be a bit submissive as a total bottom. Apart from interesting conversation we shared an interest in motorcycles. I have a six-year-old Harley Davidson Softail - which I ride as a solo, and Joe has a brand-new Indian Scout.
We agreed to meet on Saturday for coffee in the mountains village of Katoomba and then go for a ride. I cleaned my bike and dressed in appropriate cold weather riding gear - though I baulked at a full face helmet and opted for a HD open face - a-la Peter Fonda, but wore a neck and face warmer and Rayban's. The ride to Katoomba was 90 minutes and I was relieved to find the coffee shop and a bathroom upon arrival.
Joe was sitting in a booth when I entered the store. He rose to greet me - knowing what each other looked like via online photos. He was an impressive guy in real-life - over six feet tall in leather boots, slim with a tanned face and long brown turning silver hair, tied in a ponytail. He looked fantastic! Loose fit denim and a faded biker jacket completed his picture. We shook hands with big smiles on our faces and sat to chat. Over coffee and raisin toast we discussed bikes, what was happening in our lives and our disappointment....or was it luck, that we were both single and dateless of late. My heart was jumping and I could feel a little stirring in my loins.... single, dateless, very handsome - hmm hmmm.
'Let's ride on my Indian, the screen will keep us warmer and I'd like to test it out two-up style' Joe suggested. I agreed with him, plus I get a ride on an Indian which I hadn't experienced - and there was nothing wrong with me being behind this guy on the bike. My HD will be OK parked on the street in this tourist town.
Joe straddled the Indian and started it up. He had after-market pipes fitted and the growl of the engine pleased biker ears. On his nod and his assisting arm, I climbed on the back and nestled into the comfortable saddle with my chest and thighs against Joe's butt and back... it was a nice fit for me! I tapped him on the shoulder to let him know I was ready and opted to hold the straps of his jacket in-lieu of the pillion bars on the saddle.
Joe took off to looks from everyone on the street and accelerated smoothly away. I wasn't aware of where we were headed but happy to ride on the back. From a fellow biker's view Joe was a good rider - very smooth and nice lines. We toured through the mountain villages and onto the highway that crosses the mountains to the inland slopes and cities. We crossed the causeway to a parallel ridge where we did some faster touring through some great biker bends and I was very comfortable riding on the back and matching Joe's lean angles. Every now and then I would be squeezed against him under firmer breaking and then our bodies would part under acceleration. It was a lot of fun and my secret pleasure.
