If I said that, and my wife found out..... first she would cry...... then I would wake up in a pool of my own blood.

When I was still with my son's mom I loved having her come along on rides and didn't want to go alone. It was nice to have someone to chit chat with at stop lights and to point stuff out to. Now being single for 2.5 years I have a passenger about 2 times a year and I'm miserable and can't wait to kick them off.
Granted maybe that'll change if it's a girl I'm dating not my sister or a girl I'm friends with.

My wife has her own bike, so I took the passenger pegs off of my bike to keep all the hot chicks from asking for rides........the hot chicks love Road Glides.
Sorry.... had to

My wife goes with me about 20% of the time give or take and we do at least one bigger trip a year together and she is a good passenger and it never bothers me. She is about 145 lbs or so. Now that I have the ultra it is really nice with intercom set up.

Although the OL loves riding with me, I really don't like riding 2-up with her. She TALKS and TALKS and, well you get the picture, plus it's like she's always moving around back there because the bike feels like it sways from side to side every once and a while or something when she's with me. I'll ride 2-up with my niece but she shuts up and only weighs about 100 pounds so I don't even know she's there. The wife will not go more than about 100 miles so I would solo a trip and fly her there.

Wow. A few of these guys better hope their wives never read their posts!
This summer was the first year I rode 2up. No question low speed maneuvering is harder with an extra person added to the already heavy dresser. It's worth the extra effort to have my best friend with me, but it is more work.
When I'm moving I can't even tell my wife is on.
