I've always ridden solo or with one other bike. This year my wife expressed interest so I traded in on an Ultra. We're planning some long trips, but I'm worried she'll complain and ask to stop a lot. She's more about the being there than the getting there. Me, it's all about the ride. I hope she'll see the way once she's out there on the road.

I had some of the same fears when my wife started riding with me. She turned out great. She enjoys the sights, sounds and smells of the ride. She even falls asleep on the back once in awhile.

Thanks! The trailer started it's life as a basic black Aluma. We kinda went nuts from there.
