Default 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.

It's great to have a wife who shares your passion and enjoys your bike with you. I usually ride alone.
