Have I Created A Monster?

Have I Created A Monster?
My wife reluctantly started riding with me about a year ago when I had a ’06 Fat Boy. I replaced it with a 2011 RKC and she was still reluctant until recently. Before I go on, let me say that it takes a glass or two of wine for her to feel comfortable riding on the back, as many years ago there were two friends of her brother that were hit on a mini bike… One died instantly and the other, even after many brain surgeries, isn’t quite right to date. So I understand the reluctance and the glass of wine.
We all like to ride solo and many of us like to ride with a passenger, all of which is usually by our own choosing. Lately, when I tell her I’m going for a ride, she’ll ask if I’d like some company. Though there are times I’d rather ride alone, I just say sure and she puts her jeans and boots on, has a glass of wine and she’s ready to ride! I don’t want to hurt her feelings and this attitude for liking to ride is a new thing with her. It’s a good thing and it’s kind of a bad thing and I don’t know if I’ve created a monster or what! She has NO interest in owning her own bike and I sure wouldn’t want her to have to take a drink if she did, so thank God that’s not an option now. Has anyone had this happen to them? How did you handle it?? Passing fancy or what?

I do understand the wanting to ride by yourself thing, but many of my friends wives don't like to ride and it its bothersome to them. Be thankful your wife enjoys, or wants to get involved in things YOU like to do. My wife is my best riding bud, She rides her own and really enjoys being in the wind. many of my friends are envious.
