    My wife and I

    Well, wife and I are taking our annual ride together. For some reason she's not big on riding. Not in her blood. I don't ask her to join me, because if it is not fun for her, no use forcing the issue.

    Last year on our annual ride, we got soaked by rain. Hillarious.

    So this morning as we sat our back drinking coffee, she says "All right I ride with you today." Woo Hoo.

    Hope you have a great ride!:-D Hope the weather is good too!
    Not sure how long your rides are but I try to think of the passenger. It can be boring back there.
    Stopping frequently at view points or whatever may help. I assume the seat is comfortable enough? A head set to allow easy conversation is what some like too. Just thoughts.
    And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
    Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

        My wife is taking the ERC (Experienced Rider Course) with me next weekend. She did not take the BRC, but she's been riding passenger for a few years now. I'm hoping she understands more of what goes on in my hands when riding.

        Hope your ride went well Victor!

          From Cincinnati, we rode SR 42 following the Ohio River into Louisville, we took our time, ride was +/- 4 hours. I would stop about every 1 1/2 to take in the scenic views and stretch our legs.
          We spent the night at my cousin's house for the KY Derby.
          We both had racoon eyes. Hee Hee...
          Overall, my wife seem to enjoy the ride. We were safe and the weather was great.

            Glad it was a nice trip! Wish I had been riding too.
            I spent ALL weekend doing yard work. Well, between breaks here helping in the tech section.:roll:

              I have the same problem. My wife would rather meet me somewhere than ride two up with me. As posted recently, she is the anti-lean as well when taking curves. Just as well. But I do enjoy the rare moments she does ride around town with me.
