my wife has no problem with me giving rides to other chicks...
but I'm spoiled, and my wife shares the same taste in women as i do. As long as the ride ends in our bedroom, she is all for it.
i told this story before, it was never an issue until i took her bosses wife for a ride. she was quite a looker and really eager to go, wife said sure. Damn chick got off the bike and says to the wife...."i dont know how you do it, short ride like that and i wetter than a popsicle"!!!! very few get to go now.
When I bought my 2012 FXDB . . . the Harley website, in the 'key features' section advertised "a slammed solo seat . . . 'cause relationships are complicated." Seems appropriate here.
Been married 25 years, and riding for 34 years - wife has no problem if another woman goes for a ride on the back of my bike, usually her idea / suggestion. I believe it's about trusting your significant other to do the "right" thing. I would not offer a ride to a complete stranger, nor to anyone without my bride's consent. Newbie passengers are a pain in the ***, and you never know how they will react, especially in a panic situation...

I gave a lady coworker a ride to lunch one day a few years ago. She had never been on a bike before. She liked it. So - I took her for another ride to Milwaukee for a long weekend. then another ride to St. Cloud, MN for a week. Then another ride to Sturgis for 10 days, Then another ride to Ontario to see Niagara Falls - Then Blue Ridge Parkway..... After a few dozen of these rides with the lady from work, my wife started getting upset. Dumped the wife and have been happily married to the lady from work for five years now. She rides her own , but still likes to climb on the back of mine occasionally.

That last sentence reminded me of a 40+ year old story I liked to tell. I was driving home from a college kegger on my '70 Bonneville. It was a couple of miles back to the campus and lots of students were walking. A nice looking coed had her thumb out, so I stopped and asked if she wanted a ride. When she excitedly answered "Yes" I was thinking, "this could be my lucky night." She proceeded to get on from the left and kept right on going over the seat, falling off to the right. I left her lay there....
