My wife loves to ride short jaunts with me, but 80% of my rides are solo. The other 20% is just about split between her and my 11 yr old step grandson. He looks forward to riding whenever I come to visit on my T.

Well after our first ride together After 5 decided she had to have her own bike so I found a 2000 "T" adn she fell in love with it. She did not like the color choice of mine Black and Chrome of course.
She got her "T" and was on the rode. We made a ride to Memphis and she has not been on it since. She would rather ride with me and I am glad that she does. I love to have her with me. We share some really special times on the bike with each other. Oh I don't have to worry about the getting hit in the helmet for going to fast problem. She is usually telling me to go faster.

Mine likes to ride along. I've tried to get her to ride her own. I even bought a 250 Rebel and left it in the garage for 2 years, but she said she would rather have me drive so she can look at the scenery.
I do enjoy riding with her, and over the years it has changed from "his" bike to "our" bike. I've made adjusments in the bike for her like passenger floorboards, Mustang wide regal seat, intercom, and a sheepskin seat cover. I also made some adapter plates that raise the backrest and tilt it forward. (The holes weren't drilled until she was happy with the placement.) She even came along and took an experienced rider class with me. The MSF folks worked with her on passenge skills like when it is most important to stay still, how to lean, and to develop emergency signals. The MSF course was a great investment of our time. Although she likes to keep our tours to 300 miles per day, she has hung in there for up to 500 miles in one day. Robb |

Your a lucky man. Lori likes to ride with me as well but mostly on shorter jaunts. If they get too long or it starts raining she has her own coping method of just going to sleep. Never fails when I feel her helmet bumping mine that she's "out back" snoozing along.

lillian rides short jaunts with me, but i've never encouraged her on longer rides(not that i do that many). actually i don't even encourage her on
short ones. she is a cancer survivor, and i would be devastated if something happened to her on my bike after all she'e gone through to be at this stage in
her life. later, bud

My wife rides her own bike too. She has an '05 750 Aero. Now that summer is approaching, and I have a bigger bike now, I hope we can get some longer rides
in. We mostly have just done short local rides. I don't think I have ever ridden a passenger now that I think about it. Which is probably why I would like
to get a solo seat!

Believe it or not, my co-pilot can't wait to get back out on the road.
Since the accident, she has about decided to resign from her supervisory position at work and go back to being a grunt so she can have more time off and we can travel more. How did I end up with this lady!!!??? -Dan |

i can count on one hand (ok, maybe two hands) the number of times my wife has rode along with me. usually nothing more than an errand - run to the store. out
of curiosity, last night i suggested we ride to a meeting at church we were going to. she declined. i guess she's just not comfortable. frankly i
don't blame her. i have a feeling that i'd be a poor passenger. she's thought about getting a bike when one of her friends did (as well as one of
her sisters, but has never taken the next step. i've never encouraged or discourage her. it's got to be her decision.
