Wow this is a strange question but I finally got my GF to ride on my 2001 Ultra Classic with tour-pack. She wore a thin sweater and leather jack on top of it. She complained really badly that the engine vibration while riding made her lower back which is in contact with the large padded back rest on the tout-pack to itch. She and I figure the vibration basically translated into her sweater material to be rubbing her skin where contact is made. I told her next time wear soft cotton shirt that is soft and smooth against her skin.
Any similar experiences or thoughts is appreciated.
But my wife complained about that on occasion. A light thin base layer helps. Preferably something breathable. My wife would wear a tank top or cotton tshirt
Well my GF does have nicely shaped D sized breasts so I guess topless is an option during warm weather.
But I think the material was the culprit as the material was man-made not cotton. Next time soon I hope, I told her to wear a soft 100% cotton base layer.
She has no skin conditions, but perhaps sensitive skin.
