I hate to sound like a misogynistic, sexist pig, but IMO most women are not cut out to pilot motorcycles. The physical strength, mindset, muscle coordination, instant control manipulation & aggressive characteristics (merging in traffic, etc) are not common in the vast majority of women. Most women just aren’t wired thataway. Keep in mind I’m saying “average” female here. Yes, I know there are some great women riders (many here on TWT). There’s a bunch that are better riders than me, no doubt. Clutchless & Spirit at Bay could ride circles around me.
That being said, some men aren’t cut out for riding either.
Sometimes when I see a pair of riders on the road, I can easily determine that 1 is the GF/wife by how they ride (more deliberate, less control, less strength, etc).
IMO, put her on the back of that new Beemer & see if she enjoys riding pillion. To me, 2-up is way funner than riding 2 bikes anyway, I don’t have to worry about my wife gettin ran over without me.
As usual, I may be clinically insane, completely wrong & maybe no one should listen to any of my ramblings.
