OOook.. lets say.. You and yer OL both are experianced riders. Yer OL rides a touring bike, has for years.. Yer bike is down and you have a weekend ride planned just for you and the OL to get away.. Would you..
A. Cancel the ride.
B. Ride the OL's bike and make her ride on the back, even knowing she's gonna be PO'd all weekend so the getaway thing is gonna bite now anyway.
C. Let her drive and just get on the back..

This is an interesting topic which needs several types of considerations.
- Is the wifey experienced in riding someone on the back? If not this is a no brainer.
- Is the man comfortable riding on the back? Again, if not - a no brainer.
- Maybe the real truth is, the wifey dont want your ugly butt on the back of her beautiful Touring Bike...

Yep, I ride on the back every chance I get. Women have such wonderful "handles" to hold onto. 
Naw. my wife would want me to ride and have her on the back of her Wide Glide. She just learned to ride last year and simply wouldn't feel safe with me on the back and I wouldn't either.
I got really lucky. My wife and I just naturally know who is best at what and we're not competitive. I've posted before that she's a high-powered exec and a very smart gal. In those areas where she excels I just back off and am grateful for her broad range of talents.
It actually surprises me when I read of these types of frictions in marriages.
