The wife wants to ride... but not on 2 wheels

[Chapomis_imp]

Good subject ! My wife has never ridden 2 wheels solo and has no desire (maybe a scooter...once). We have ridden 2up on various bikes, but never for more than a half day and never on the highway. 2 years ago I arranged a test drive on a Spyder. My wife was very skeptical, but within 2 minutes of riding she was giving me thumbs-up in the mirror (we also test drove an HD trike which was thumbs down for both of us). Long story short, 2 years later and we have had the best times together on the Spyder. Its my way of sharing with her what I love about being on a motorcycle and her being able to enjoy it. Oh, and she loves the Ferrett Cam I definitely recommend Spyders over convertibles.

I haven't ridden a Spyder yet but I'm curious about the upper body strength a woman might need to steer it, despite the power steering. Perhaps I shouldn't form any conclusions until I've ridden one!

She would be fine at speed limit
