[QUOTE="Big Sky, post: 906000, member: 3460"] Children aside, challenge her intellectually: "Honey, you need to know for yourself weather the FJR is a suitable touring rig for riding pillion. It may be or it may not be, but the only way you'll know is to try it and make the determination yourself. If the FJR is in fact wonderful, you'd want to know that, wouldn't you?" If that works, then it's up to you to make sure her experience is a highly positive one. Also, try education. Find a definitive and authoritative article on motorcycle categories: Sport, cruiser, dual-sport, adventure tourer, tourer, GT, sport-tour, etc. Help her understand the FJR is no crotch-rocket; merely a cross between a Gold-wing and a Hyabusa; a cross between a Corvette and a Sedan DeVille - a compromise that captures some of the best of both worlds. I find riding two-up is about twice as enjoyable as soloing. My wife would ride behind me no matter what machine I took. She's along 90 percent of the time and pouts when she doesn't get to go. I wish you such good fortune. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
