[QUOTE="tyronewildman, post: 1089160, member: 1098"] My take on this is; sell wife’s bike as she shouldn’t be riding if she is uncomfortable riding it (we ride for fun, right & it sounds like she is not having fun). Keep the FJR for your riding solo as it is a great compromise (there are no perfect bikes). Get a Wing for your 2 up riding (so both of you can be comfortable). Get a good, easy to load, motorcycle specific trailer, for when you both want to ride in an area that is far away but either of you don’t care to ride all the way out there (nice to hop in the car to go for supper after a good 2 up riding day). I say this cause I’ve been there, done that. At 20 years older than you I can relate to you on all counts. Wife never had her own bike but learned to ride in her teens when we married. Took many long vacation rides on our CX500 w/tent and had fun. Went to a Wing in the 90s for our 2 up rides. Kept my standard/sport touring bikes for my daily ride. The trailer solved her hate for having to ride thru Hotlanta on the way to the mountains. Just me here now so said bye to the Wing. Get in shape, loose weight, NAW! One of these years I might have to get a Spyder, but for now, I’m still having fun on my ’13 FJR…Later,,,De[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
