Default Anyone else that doesn't like riding 2 up?

don't like having someone on the back. didn't when i rode in the 70's and 80's and, now that i'm back into it again, still don't. back then it was a suzuki 750 (water buffalo), now it's a road glide. is it just me?

Hate it. Makes my bike feel like I mounted the motor on top of the tank.

My wife is much smaller then me, and a really great passenger. I almost can't tell she is on sometimes. She leans at the right time and just the right amount as to not fight what I am doing. She also doens't shift, jump, bounce or whatever as some of my passenger have done.

It is more fun solo, I am lucky wife (55) is still good at riding her own bike. I am sure the day is coming where she will hang it up. I will just have to go double and be happy we are still on 2 wheels.
