One of the contributors might be that I'm riding my first Trike. Its a 2006 Sportster 1200 w/ a trike kit. When I bought it , it was just set up for one person. I added a passenger seat & sissy bar. Because it's a kit , it was a very short space. She said that it is very uncomfortable on long rides. Before this I bought a 250cc but I was very unhappy with it because I'm used to having power! With regular Motorcycles I had a habit of hugging the center lane. With the Trike , I have the same habit after many years of riding. That also scares her because with a trike the outer wheel is almost in the oncoming lane & as a passenger you have NO control!

P.S. Congratulations on your 50yrs. Stick with it , there's not many of us left! It obviously doesn't run in the family because both of our daughters have been married , divorced , remarried. I guess I was just lucky enough to find a good woman! I wouldn't have stayed with me the crazy things that I did when I was younger!
