The first time I took my girlfried for a long ride didn't work out too well. Total we're about 350 and set the shocks to stiffest setting. Rode from San Diego to Huntington Beach. By the time we got there she was feeling it. Stayed for a few hours and headed home. Halfway she couldn't take it anymore and stopped for the night.

Since then I've put on a tall backrest and have left the shocks set for solo riding. I don't notice any bottoming out and she is much more comfortable on it. Maybe her tush is just getting use to it.

Becareful Ron, before you know it she'll be wanting a bike of her own. My lady is already talking about it.
