Robin was OK for about a 200 mile ride on the back of my America. I had to put a sissy-bar and pad for her to even do that. She used to fall asleep on my Harley and a 400 mile ride was OK with her back in the day. She wanted something more comfortable for the longer touring, but I wouldn't go back to a Harley. For two up riding now, she sits on the back of a jap bike, a 2006 Venture. The Triumph is my toy and joy now, all mine! The most fun and reliable bike I have ever owned!
