Default Passenger Foot Vibration
I love to ride. I love it even more when my wife is on the back. Problem is, she has plantar fasciitis and the vibration is bothering her.

I'm thinking about looking into a trade for another "Bertha" touring bike unless somebody can help with the issue.

I have new rubber isolators on the foot boards. I bought her new riding boots like mine, but, she says she still can't go very far.

What say you all?

Hey! Thanks for the quick (although useless) responses.

Anyone else have any (useful) responses?

Was she able to ride the Glide OK? If so, it's a no-brainer.

Yep, she could go forever on Bertha. I wish I hadn't jumped the gun selling her, but, the finances were getting tight......

Trading in on a new model gets real expensive. The lawyer bills alone will kill ya.

How about gel sole inserts? Try different floor boards? Make some floor boards with gel stuff on them? If that don't work, yeah, trade her in on a new model that don't bitch so much.
