[QUOTE="FJRay, post: 1089071, member: 312"] I recently went through the same thing. My wife was in a pretty bad accident on her bike and is not happy riding her own now. The FJR will haul both of us but once I'm aboard there is not much room left for her. she is jammed against the top box and I'm half way up the tank singing soprano. Enter the Goldwing. Sold her Sportster and life is good. she is comfy and I am happy knowing she is with me instead of wondering where she is on her bike. The wing won't pass cars like the FJR but it's no slouch either and they handle far better than you think. Go for the wing and get a play bike for those solo rides. I'm keeping the FJR for my solo ride because it's old and has a lot of miles on it. With any luck I'll be able to do some more Iron Butt stuff with the FJR. Just to stir the pot. The wing will probably outlast at least 4 Beemers and service is easy for the owner. There is a Honda dealer in at least every county in the country.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/tonguesmiley.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
