She wasn't, but she surely was at the end. The backpack certainly looks full but it only had a couple light sweaters and her small wallet. One of the first things she said once we got home was that she'd feel a lot more comfortable with a backrest. I mentioned the fact that I could get a Corbin seat with a backrest and she was all for it. Of course, I left out the price. Small detail. Anyway, that's what I plan to do. Neither of us are particularly large. It seems to me that the CB isn't the best for two up riding; even if and when I get the backrest. You can see from the photos that my wife has her legs bent pretty good in order to have her feet on the passenger pegs. The heel of her boot did a number on the top of my Yoshi can. She's only 5'2. I can only imagine how uncomfortable it would have been for someone larger or with longer legs.

We've ridden the VFR since then and she immediately said she feels so much more comfortable on it than on the CB. She likes being higher, doesn't feel like she's on the edge of the seat, and doesn't feel as cramped. That pretty much means that most, if not all, of my two up riding will be on the VFR. That leaves me to consider whether to go ahead with the Corbin (which I'm interested in for my own comfort as well) or go with a solo seat. Decisions, decisions.
