About time.

Tell us a little about yourself and say hello to the gang. We would like to hear about who, what, and why you ride as well as how you found us.

Welcome to the boards. Hope you can make it out to mee the group soon. Our bike night is this Thursday at Fox & Hound Details Here. Our bike night is more about hanging out and getting to know the people you ride with. So feel free to cage it out and bring the wife (since she won't ride pillion). Maybe some of the females of the group, can help change her perspective on riding with ya.

Well...mine won't help because I don't ride "bitch". I have a hard time adjusting back to passenger since I ride my own. :D Maybe some of the females that actually ride 2-up can help change her mind!!

First, let me say that it's best if she WANTS to do so.

from there, you just take it easy and go short distances to get her used to the idea.

IF she's already ridden, well... then we can try to see what's up as to why she doesn't and maybe help her feel more comfortable about doing so.
Personally, I enjoy it because I not only get to ride with my boy, I also get to ride with my friends. And in my opinion, I may still even ride 2-up when I get the bike I'm comfortable with just cuz it's nice.

*Just my 2 cents.
