Exactly!

Anyone else - get your own.

i actually like having a pillion
but i know the difference between 50, 500, and 5,000 mile trips so it will def be down the road and after alot of other smaller trips

#2: no two up riding. apparently she doesn't appreciate my riding style at all.

#3: out of state trips now days she takes the truck and tows her bike, then rides when we get where we are going.
1 - I could see that happening

2 - I can definitely see that happening
3 - Great idea, though in that case I'd probably just tow both bikes.

I'll just let her and some of our buds do the ride together. none of them has done a longer trip so they want to try it.

probably best if you either go alone (just the two of you) or only with other couples. otherwise single guys tend to get antsy about the "couple" pace. one guy in our group took off towards the end of the trip and made the trek home on his own. no big deal, but it put a damper on her feelings because she thought it was her fault.
Yeah, I wouldn't expect to be at the same pace when riding together...

What a dick move... It sucks sometimes riding with slower people and having to wait for them all the time, but your wife? C'mon man!

overall we enjoy riding trips together as long as we both compromise on how we're going to get there and what we'll do when we get there. rainy rides are out for us unless she gets caught and absolutely has to keep going. she can and has done it but doesn't like rain. be prepared to skip a ride and just sit in a hot tub for a day. not always a bad thing. LOL
I can just imagine the look on ONSSP's face if I handed her one of my small ass saddle bags and was like, 'this is for all your shit'...

Haha! I wouldn't ride long distance with him on his sports bike period. TOOO uncomfortable. Maybe if he had a cruiser, I'd probably be down. Or I'd ride next to him with the guy who has the Goldwing
