Default went 2 up with the wife, First time!
so after a trip to freedom cycles in oklahoma city, the purchase of passenger pegs- brackets, and a phantom pad... was finally able to get two up with the wife for the first time since ive had the bike! had an absolute blast, its funny but dont really mind the estetic changes being that she can ride with me now... was stoked so figured i would share

Right on, my wife has come for a couple of rides but it's not really her thing, just as well as I prefer to ride by myself anyway.

i know the feeling... mine loves the back so much that i had to redo the shocks and seat for her- she has her own bike but prefers to be a passenger... i dont get it, but as she says "happy wife, happy life" !
