[QUOTE="zip, post: 908785, member: 14732"] I really miss having my wife along when I ride. I know she would enjoy it; the scenery and my other riding friends in particular (all of you!). But she's never been on my bike. And I've never lobbied. We, too, have young children; 5 and 7. There is some risk with us riding together, and I appreciate that. I can't imagine leaving the kids parent-less were something tragic to happen, and you cannot deny that it could, with greater possibility than many other pursuits. But I've had each of kids on the bike for short rides, my sister, and other family friends. I really admire those of you who get to ride two-up with spouse (Fred W and Joann are favorites and great riders!) The other challenge I'd have anyways... I'm 6'4" and Mrs. Zip is 6' tall, and of stout, German descent. She'd probably prefer to ride on her own someday instead of riding with me. That'd be cool, too. But it'll likely be some years until the kids get older. And who knows: we might be in our Golden (Wing) years by then. Meanwhile, I'll simply be jealous of those of you who've got independent rider wives, or the size 2, 5'6" or smaller pillions! [/QUOTE]
