Would she get on yours?

Yes, but she finds my ZX14R to be more comfortable. She prefers the "lie on me" position on my ZX to the upright position on my Rocket. Also, she's quite short, which makes getting on my Rocket tricky unless I pull up next to a curb.
 
When I first met my wife in 1984 and just started dating I was riding my old Yamaha 1100. I thought I was the shi* and no one could out ride me. I had her sit on the back of my custom Yamaha Banana seat and proceeded to pop a wheelie for around 60' or so with her hanging on for dear life with me thinking in my head she is so impressed her panties are dropping. Didn't happen! To this day it registered as one of the dumbest things I have ever done. She told me to stop the bike and I did. She didn't say a word but walked/stomped back into her house. She didn't ride with me for 30 years until I bought my 14 Rocket. She rode with me for 3 miles in a residential area with pedestrians walking faster than I was riding with 6 year old's on Hot Wheels taunting me. She was okay with the 2.5 mph ride but after I bought the 2020 Rocket she just said "Don't even ask". Was it a mistake in 1984 or a blessing? :sneaky:
😏 I think we both know the answer to that question my friend.
 
I made an agreement with her that day. She would trust me riding alone from there on, if I substituted the passenger seat on my bikes, with chrome accessories.
No, I’m not angry in this picture. I was born with resting biatch face. It’s afflicted me all my life. I was in fact smiling in this pic. Kid you not lol.
 
My wife had never been on a bike in her life and one afternoon she saw a big black bike with lots of chrome and said I should think about getting a bike again.
Of course I started looking and found a Rocket and brought it home which made her very happy because it was the same as the one she had seen on the road.
Since that day we have upgraded front and back suspension (racetech & wilburs) because I said it will improve the ride ;) custom modified the seats to make it more comfortable :thumbsup: installed ramair, LMS exhaust, tors and custom map because you need a little extra power for safe passing on the open road :cool: installed mccruise cruise control, turn signal auto cancel, heated grips etc to make it easier on the pilot and safer for the pillion :whitstling: and now I've been asked to look at an upgrade to improve braking :).
My wife is with me on 90% of the rides and loves every outing, my biggest problem is keeping me under control when she's on board (no chicken strips here) :banghead:
 
Sandy can ride on the back but she rides her own. She has not been on the back of either Rocket. She drove the mew TFC and did not care for it as she prefers the bagger with fairing bikes. I’m glad she is not on the back since it gives me freedom to ride as I like without the extra weight.
