If your relationship is open enough that you can ride anyone on your bike then great. Other may not be and it's really not anyone's place to tell them that there is something wrong with it or you feel sorry for them. That's pretty judgmental and I doubt helps answer the original posters question at all.

Hey Heather - looks like my bike in the background next to yours. I will concur that I do not know the "Backseat" rules on a bike. I can see that it is time spent as a couple. So I do have to absolutely agree that I may come from a point of view I don't understand. So excellent point. THIS happens every year? Good gosh. We should copy the pages and keep them handy. Have a great evening Heather.

I could not have said it better myself. I don't give rides to other women. I gave my 20 year old niece a ride once and that made me uncomfortable to have her clinging on to me.

For some people it isn't a big deal. For others it is.

I've enjoyed reading the 22 pages of responses, and of course posed the question to the missus. Ride safe everyone!

The bottom line is: If you love your wife and want to keep her, then respect her feelings and do what she asked of you...and visa versa. Catching a little wood from a chic on the back of your bike isn't worth it.

my wife said she was being silly and knows from experiance (that I can vouch for) it would be way easier to do somthing naughty in the cab of the truck than on the bike.

Asked the wife about your situation, she said the rear seat is hers,"bought and paid for" if someone rides with me it's not a problem if it's on her ok . OK ?
