I totally agree. Harley riders are not like other riders. That's not to say "stuff" doesn't happen, it does. But a lot less frequently to people on Harleys. I strongly engourage you to work it out up front with the wifey and by all means, try to get her to go along. Everyone needs a outlet for stress these days and there's nothing better than a HD. My wife and I waited until our kids were teenagers and that makes it a whole lot easier, but make an agreement with your wife that twice a month or so, you'll get one of the neighbors to watch the kids and both of you go out -- its great for the married life to have something big and powerful vibrating between your thighs...that second child will be there in no time at all

 

So, did you get it on friday?

 

It's official. I'm now part of the Harley Davidson Family. I picked up my 2002Harley Davidson Deuce FXSTDFISaturday morning and took it for a 20 mile ride in 21 degree weather. It was so worth the ride. When I got home, my wife actually sat on it with me. I guess that would be considered a start. Thanks again everyone for you thoughts and experiences. Stay upright.

Welcome from NC

I'm an old fart... kids grown, with kids of their own. When mine were 4, I would take my belt off, and run it back through the front 2 belt loops, and then around my kids. Put a helmet on them and off we'd go! Now I do that with my grandkids. They love it!

If finances aren't a problem, you WILL enjoy the ride. Since your wife isn't as enthusiastic as you, there are a couple of options. If you think she will never ride with you, the Duece is a sweet single rider, or short trips 2 up. If you think you can talk her intoriding with you, I would suggest getting something with a backrest for her.

 

When you can, get her her own......it's all over after that! I love riding mine and with hubby! We have 4 kids at homeand they love going on short rides with dad!We are looking forward to spring and hanging out with our new friends

Big congratulationson the newbaby and the new bike!
