my woman keeps pulling over on her fazer and asking for the keys to my falco. She only passed her test 15 months ago, so its a big bike to ride when new, but she takes it easy on it and can ride it well.
Got a feeling she'll want a big V twin once shes got a bit more riding experience on the fazer.
would you let your woman ride your falco?

The Missus doesn't need to ride my Falco, she has a Fazer and a Tuono of her own to ride.

My Mrs used to go everywhere on the back of my bike .... but then I didn't ride while the kids grew up ... and hated not riding.
She was very against me getting the Falco and riding again and barely acknowledges it exists - other than to tell me that it was a very selfish and self indulgent purchase.
She won't go on the back.
..... don't really think there's much chance of her wanting to ride it ..... but TBH I always wanted her to learn to ride.

my bird went out twice on the back of my srad and said, I dont like it, I want to ride for myself. Did her CBt and bought a CG125 then passed her test and got the fazer 600, and loves it, she grew up on dirt bikes in quarrys etcDusty wrote:I think you're a lucky man. My wife understands, but certainly doesn't share, my passion for bikes. She will never ride pillion, never mind her own bike. I'd love to be able to share my interest the way you can, even if it did mean swapping bikes occasionally!

My wife does occasionally go on the back, but doesn't enjoy it as: 1) too uncomfortable 2) too noisy 3) bit boring as she can only see the back of my head. I don't enjoy her being on the back because 1) buggers up the handling 2) I have to ride slower. Solution. I ride the Falco, she drives her SL320.
