A bagger(his), a dyna(hers), and no trailer.
They're both black.

Mine rides a 13 Dyna Switchback and I ride a 15 Road Glide. We are going to Arizona Bike Week together and also have a trip planned up the Ca coast to Oregon later this summer. Once in a while she likes to ride 2 up with me.

I have a GF in Texas that I visit once a month for 3 or 4 days and then 2, week long vacations. She owns a 2011 Heritage. She bought a Honda Shadow 1100 for me to ride when I went down there but last March, on our way to the 3 Sisters, we stopped at Cowboy HD in Austin and traded the Hondoo in for a 2001 FatBoy that I picked up the excess on. So I now have 2 Harleys in 2 states. She may well be a better rider than me having done trips to Sturgis and the Blue Ridge Parkway as well as, Yosemite. Her Trip to Tail of the Dragon, she went by herself. We've done a bunch of day trips down there, and I have nothing but good to say about East Texas roads and scenery!

My wife just bought her first bike a couple of weeks ago. She has always said she was gonna learn to drive and I didn't push her and we were at the dealership and our salesman showed us a trade in he just got and it was love at first site. I think she did good it's a 2000 Heritage Softail with 34000 miles. It was use mostly as a show bike. I ride an old 88 Electra Glide and when we ride 2 up we have a 2005 VTX 1800S. I am looking forward to riding with her as she starts her new adventure.

I own a '02 and a '13 heritage and the wife rides her '04 heritage... I've been riding 20+ years and she has been riding about 7. She has ridden to Sturgis with me from CA three times.

My wife and I both ride. She's a Ducati/Triumph gal and I'm a Harley/Moto Guzzi guy...although we trade for kicks now and then. It's a great thing to share...even if we have to take turns with the upgrade budget



She's a regular on our local canyon roads. She sold her Monster a few years ago and her current bikes are '13 Diavel and a '14 Triumph Street Triple R.

We recently took the Diavel with our sons up to Oregon to visit our eldest in college. We had to bring a car to haul up some furniture so we traded off one kid and rider on the bike every other couple hundred miles. 1,800 miles round trip. Really a fun ride. That Diavel is just nuts. 168hp and around 145lbs torque on a 500lb bike......better hold on!

My wife started riding her own a couple of years ago. It is one the coolest things to look over and see her riding beside me on her own bike. She rides a 2001 Heritage Softail and I have a 2009 Night Train. She had ridden on the back with me for 24 years before that. She still likes to hop on the back with me occasionally. She also helps me work on the bikes too. I got lucky. Ha!

My wife rode shotgun until 2009 when she decided she wanted her own. After trying two different two wheeler's she still wasn't comfortable on a two wheeler. She got on a Spyder and fell in love with the security of three wheels. Since then we have rode one behind the other and have made longer trips, a tour of New England and a ride to Sturgis and back. She's comfortable and happy and that makes me happy.
