Who is a good lady to ride on the back seat of your motorcycle?

[Old Can Ride]

A good lady worth riding on the back of my motorcycle is a lady I can tell: "Get on, Hold tight, and Shut up".

And if she is really a good lady worth riding on the back of your motorcycle, when you get to your destination she tells you: "Get on, Hold tight, and Shut up".

A lady does not ride at the back of a bike.
She rides a horse all by herself.

What Happy said.
This particular lady hates riding on the back of a bike. So she has horses of her own (one steel, one fuzzy).

 

[Old Can Ride]

I know. In 1969 Texas required it's first motorcycle license. My wife made a higher grade on the test than I did. That she loves telling everyone. And, my wife is the one who has taught everyone in our family how to drive a motorcycle.

Glad to see the lady spoke up!

My lady hates riding pillion which is why she has two bikes of her own

My lady has a temperament that lends itself greatly to worry and fear. No motorcycle operation for her but she loves to ride.

Dan - that is a big part of why I don't like riding back. I prefer to be in control.

With my lady I must be a little be soft with the machine. She doesn't like heavy gas opening and heavy braking (even with the NC !!!).

But two years ago she was absolutely opposite to the idea of a motorcycle. Now whe progress. Slowly, but whe progress.

In may I had a trip (alone) through Europe (can't find the time to make a correct report about this trip), somewhere in the Alps I had a lunch with a Swiss motorcyclist, whe discuss about our wifes and motorcycling, he said something I liked :

"if you want to continue to ride with your lady, ride approx 4 hours by day. If you want to divorce, ride 10 hours without stopping".

I ride on the front seat of my NC700X.
But when I ride on a back seat......it's my husbands BMW K1200LT.
I just spent 1200 miles back there on a 5 day vacation in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
What a blast.......best roads anywhere in the country!

If I could get her past the learning stage without a major bang up, and I really don't think I could on two wheels (I taught her to drive a car and that was hard enough), she'd probably be great. Maybe I should get her one of those Can-Am backwards trikes now that I think of it. That might get her rolling...
