She has been riding with me, and on her own bikes, since 1972. That's 45 years on two wheels for her. She knows the risks as well as anyone. She is reasonable about it but not fanatical. Almost always a modular helmet (sometimes a 3/4). Most times an armored jacket. Almost never gloves. Most times jeans but on a tour armored pants. Most times hiking boots, but on a tour motorcycle specific boots.
I would imagine that describes almost everyone elses wife here, as well. I don't think that was so much the question as pondering what, if anything, should be done when your passengers decisions don't appear to have been wise ones?

Well you can express your concerns, but ultimately the decision is hers, just as my decisions are mine as to what to wear on any given ride which may not be in lock step with the ATGATT crowd. I can hardly deny her without being fair and denying myself as well. That's not going to happen.
