Cool She loves it!

Finally got my wife on the bike and she loves it. It took some convincing but she hopped on the back last weekend and I took her for a ride. She was nervous at first but after a bit I looked back and saw that grin, yep, she's hooked. She wanted to riding in the rain today so I took her out in the cold and rain, no thong on (just read GG post ) She got a little cold but said it was fun.

Now she want's to go on a trip and says she understands why I like it so much. Life is good!

Mines been riding on the back for 36 years and has never wanted to ride her own. She is very content to let me handle the bike and says she loves being on the back with me.

Congrats. I'm still trying to get my fiance on the back. Probably would help if I got the backrest I got on ebay installed . The pipes come first though.
