Default Wife won't ride when....
She won't ride if it's windy or a chance of rain!!!! I told her if you if you live in MO and limit your riding because of wind and a chance of rain your never gonna ride.

Anybody else have a problem like this?

Nope, mine don't ride at all, but my daughters do. It's her loss and some extra time for you.

My wife is always cooking up some trip. Love it. We have been in some bucket dropping rain, and the wind does blow here, with serious dust. We just get thru it and get on with the ride. I can remember when she would take the helmet off she had to go thru this thing with the hair, just throw on the harley hat and get with the show.

I've got a similar one, my girl won't ride unless it's over 75 degrees out. It's just more solo time for me.
