My wife loved my T100 so much that she has now got one. I'm not unhappy, cos I now get to ride hers too, on occassion.
Her bike has a 18 tooth CS (I'm riding with 19) and real loud pipes(I've got Thunderbike pipes, I think hers are BC teardrops). Gets up and goes like a cut cat, n sounds real nice (bludy LOUD) doing it.
Any others out there with "partners" with their own bikes, and if so, what are they riding?
If I can get her to pose, I may subject you to a look at "Fatty" (a term of endearment, only. She is very svelte) and her bike (She is also a 2nd degree Black Belt in ITF TaeKwon Do).
She had not riden in 23 odd years, and her first few rides terrified me,as she wobbled down the drive. She is OK with it now, TG.

my wife has zero interest, a good thing in MHO...

she doesn;t expect my to go shopping and I don't expect her to go riding.

one less thing for me to worry about...

I hate having someone on the back on my bikes...

Most of my riding is done alone and is about being alone.

My wife has a Vstar and rides every once in a while.

My [wife] doesn't like bikes. She's fine with riding on the back, but doesn't have any interest in one of her own.

My husband rides a Harley. Sometimes he borrows the Bonnie when I'm not riding.

UraniumC nailed it for me too. I do ride with a few Buddies... we all leave the ladies to their lady stuff.

Sue has been riding for about 5 years now. She's now 52 and I think she just got sick of looking at my ever wider backside as the years went by and decided when she could hardly see anything except to the side that she'd rather have her own.

Last Nov. I got her a new Kaw Vulcan 500LTD, but she works in taxes and really couldn't ride it until after April 15th of this year. When we got back from the trip to Myrtle Beach a week or so ago the bike read 8515 miles, which is quite a bit of miles for someone who can only ride on weekends and vacations. I'd guess she has on the order of 35000 miles under her belt by now. I really love the fact that she rides. It opens up a whole new adventure for us. We both love to tour and to ride this lovely part of Ohio.

Good topic, BTW!

Mine has no in riding. Took her for a ride down our driveway and back and that was it for her. Ok by me too. Moggy we would all love to see those pics of the misses with her Bonnie posted, but I believe big brother would censor this thread if you do.

My Wife rides, actually she has a 2007 yellow Bonnie Black.

I usually refer to it as the "Bumble Bee Bonnie."

Unfortunately, my wife crushed her ankle when her bike fell on it during the MSF course. It was her first day riding. She has not gone back for more, and I can certainly understand.
