First 100 MPH hug.

OK, so maybe not 100MPH - more like 30-40MPH. This was the first ride my wife took today on our SG. I have only been riding for a couple of years and this year we decided to get a touring bike so that we could both enjoy some Sunday evening rides together, etc. and today was her first ride.

Now to get her some HD wear and more miles on this baby.

Very cool - congrats.
Once she gets the green light for new HD apparel, hang on....
Don't ask me how I know.

BTW, That hug may become more of a jab to the ribs as you approach 100 MPH.

My wife and I also had our first ride together in 10+ years yesterday. I finally bought a big boy bike after not having a bike in a long time. We both love riding our new (used) 2004 Wide Glide.

Thats cool, congrats brother. I was just about to start the same type of thread.

My wife took her first ride with me today on my 2012 Street Glide. She was scared, but liked it and had a good time. Course we only rode around the neighborhood a couple to times, but it's a start and it was nice to have her with me.
