My partner not only loves to ride with me, but is co-owner of the bike!

I love having her with me, but if I want to ride and she doesn't, she's cool.

And hot!

I feel the same way. When me and my wife first started dating it took awhile to get use to riding 2-up all the time, but now it does not feel right unless she is on the back. Me and my wife do everything together besides going to work and I love it!

I'm seeing an age thing here with who does an doesn't in general , younger guys or some in the throws of middle age crazies tend to want to run alone it's about the " Man " thing still I think . More experienced or settled guys like their partners with them , it's were you are in life I guess for most of us . I've had women who loved the bike and couldn't get enough to the woman I've been with the last 10yrs she has no interest in the bike but accepts it along with me as one and all the lifestyle that came with . She has her own life and this works for us in a very comfortable way , wish I'd have found her 20yrs ago .

If she's cool and hot, must be that darn menopause.

I just traded in my 2011 Limited that I bought so my wife would be comfy while riding. I had 5000 miles on it & she logged a total of maybe 300-400 miles. It was a great bike but I really liked riding my Heritage & the old school look so I traded it in on a 08 Roadking. I just installed a removeable backrest for her so when she wants to ride she can but it will be seldom....BTW, we've been together 30 years in Nov.10, 2011, & married 25 years in Dec. 15th, 2011.

my x never got on a bike with me but my girlfriend and me ride 2 up 95% of the time. she loves it and i love having her with me. i traded to a triglide so she would be more comfortable than she was on the soaftail. we take lots of day trips and are planning a few overnighters for the fall.

I use to always want my ex-fiance to ride with me. I enjoyed her company and when she got to ride with me, it was always an extra good ride. When she left me, it was hard to not have her riding with me. But I've come to enjoy riding solo though at times it'd be nice to have someone along with me.

Well my wife is the type who doesn't care to ride on the bike. There have been times when I thought I sure wished she'd go on a ride once and while. I sometimes envy the guys with fun wives who go along on group rides. Then again, riding solo is much easier and less stressful imo. I would like her to go once in a while tho. Maybe next wife????? Nah, that'll never happen....Ride safe guys (and gals!)
