Wife went pillion

Better watch she doesn't catch 'the bug' and want her own license/bike!

100% certain that wouldn't happen, she wont even drive a car albeit she wants to and has had lessons but hates driving so it would only be for convenience.
I would happily pay for all of it if she wanted it but i know she wouldn't.

I don't have a wife, but do enjoy taking pretty girls on the back.

Glad both you and her are enjoying it.

Biking is such a big part of my life I think any lass who I was with would have to enjoy bikes or bugger off. Luckily MissYC seems to love them...

My missus started off hating the bike but want to go pillion now. Unfortunately she told me this when I wasn't really listening so I got a thump the other day for looking totally blank when she asked when we were going to go buy her a helmet.

Try and get her to use her legs more (i.e. squeezing with her knees) when you brake/accelerate. Then the weight is being transferred to your legs and the bike as opposed to your wrists. Might take a few more rides before that but if she can start thinking about it then might get the ball rolling It really does make a difference to both pillion confidence and rider.

I sincerely hope you are not implying my interest in bikes is merely a ploy to keep you interested in me LOL (We'll take this outside )

Little update...........
Went to bikers world today and i am £235 lighter (they have had some serious money off me in the last few months im just starting to realise)
Bought the wife a very nice rst leather jacket but had to buy a back protector insert as it didnt come with one.
And, some love deluxe love handles which put 2 handles at the back of me instead of at the side which i prefer.
Went out this afternoon for only a 12 mile ride and it was great.
It was the wifes idea as well which is pleasing.
Not being wedged against the tank now which makes my riding better.
Hopefully a few more miles next week and slowly go further until we can eventually do a trip.
Happy dayz.
