Solo or Two-up?

[JJ]

There are times I wish my wife would go with me but she doesn't appreciate biking. Oh well, her loss.

I did have a chance to take my daughter on a 4 day camping trip on the bike and it was really good to re-connect with her.(she's a teen) No telephone, TV or distractions. We got a chance to talk, sightsee and have some memorable times. On our last day I pulled into a campsite that I made reservations for before the trip. There was a big sign saying "No Motorcycles" Well they let us in after a lot of discussion and then I was asked to leave after arguing with the owner (an a-hole) My daughter & I left and got another spot. We went out for dinner and she started to laugh realizing we got the boot from trailer trash. Something to remember and laugh about for years!

Sometimes a passenger is good.

I am solo also. I have never even had another person sit on the back of my bike. I am selfish about my solitude, and riding is the only activity I engage in that doesn't require interaction with anybody on a verbal basis.

When I was single I thought my bikes were always a great way to meet chicks. Seeing how they always wanted a ride. How can a chick pressed up hard against you with thier arms around you ever be a bad thing.

I do enjoy the chance to go scratching solo but I think 2 up can be just as fun.

I'm hoping to teach the wife to do some knee draging of her own though.

I solo. Been trying to get the wife on board for a while ... living in Italy she sees 2-5 people on a scoot every day, so she's getting more used to the idea of a '2-wheel family outing' and she's even starting to mention how she likes this or that scooter ....

Biggerst problem is I can't get her in to buy a helmet ... "We don't have enough money right now ..."

I have never done it. As a number of you have said, my wife just isn't interested.

If you want a ride, get your own ride. I have done two up and know its a better ride not doing so.

My wife goes with me every once and a while. Like others have said, I really like the alone time but having her along is fun too!

my lady can't handle the seat on my sportster very long so only goes for show hauls.....trying to talk me into buying an FLHi...2 bikes would be kinda nice....

I ride to work solo.

I ride with my wife and do the 20 dollar hamburger thing A LOT.

Hey I like hamburgers!

She has the ultimate trust, I'd never get on a bike with me, or anyone else for that matter.....

Asss, gas or grass, no one rides for free.

Solo is best, but a blast with the wife once in a while is fun and a good way to spend time together without having to listen to endless yammering.

Then there's the payment plan discussed at the top of this post....
