And... did she love it? Mine made me get a larger bike (kept the America) because we both have large... elbows and needed additional elbow room.

Check out the Bennington Bash the first weekend in June. I'm not sure how far you are.

I had the chance to ride on the back of my America, it is far more comfortable than the back of my husband's Speedy. She should be happy, even on long trips. Have a great time! Just beware...it is very addictive, riding... she is likely to want her own soon.

Lookin' good. My wife loves being the passenger on my America. I do ride more conservatively when she's aboard - both to protect her and so as not to scare the **** out of her. I like having her along - she's a good passenger (and no, she's not standing at my shoulder right now  )
Cheers, Richard

She had a good time. I keep the speed down so that I don't scare the **** out of her! She was in a motorcycle crash 12 years ago, and I'm just trying to ease her back into riding.
