So does this even bother you seasoned riders with 25-30 years in or would you just really rather ride solo?
depends on 2 things......

#1 how hot she is...
#2 can she keep her mouth shut longer than 5 minutes at a time

I just completed a four day 1300 mile trip two-up with luggage. I enjoyed the company but slow speeds and parking lots were fun with the added weight. Of course riding solo is easier.

I love riding with my wife. It gives us time away from everything going on to do something we both enjoy. She's a really good rider because if her hands weren't on me I wouldn't be able to tell she's even back there.

While I occasionally enjoy riding one up, I really like riding with momma. She is an excellent rider, she never back seat drives. Sometimes she rubs my shoulders while we are riding. Momma is never scared, we have ridden through thunder storms and hail. Once we had to do an emergency stop in the pouring rain on the highway because of a mile long traffic jam at our exit. Momma takes it all in stride and almost never bitches about my driving, even when it is my fault.
On top of all this she occasionally surprises me with things like, " you know those speakers for the bike you where looking at? You should buy them..." or " you should buy an all access pass to Ohio bike week because I am going to busy that week helping my sister get ready for my nephew's high school graduation party...."
Anytime this woman wants to ride, thats fine with me!

I would rather ride behind my guy than solo on my bike. Wrapping my arms around him and holding him for hours with nothing he can do if they wander is a lot of fun.

I've never found a guy that would ride behind me, but I don't mind it with a girlfriend.
