So, a minor miracle happened today as the assistant coach went on her first ever motorcycle ride with me this morning. The kids spent the night at her brother's so she was finally able to pay off on a bet by taking a rise with me.

Once the screaming died down she said she actually enjoyed going straight. We topped out at 30 MPH around the neighborhood. While she's not a convert yet, we are going to get her a helmet of her own; that's a start.

Better change rise to ride or these guys will be all over you, with the kids away

You beat me to it. But he said "rise".
But if done right ride and rise are usually used in conjunction. Just not in that order.

First ride, around the neighborhood, 30 mph. Yep, that's a start. A little progress here and a little progress there and before you know it she will be wanting her own bike. No, I'm not making fun of you. Keep up the progress, a step at a time.

Good for her...ease her into it and make it fun...
She's gone further on a bike than my wonderful wife of forty years...although, she does like snowmobiling...
Ride safe.

Nice! My better half did the same thing... Screamed all the way around the block. Traded the sporty for a Heritage so I/we can try again on a bigger bike. Now all I gotta do is get a rear seat and rear foot pegs !!:laughuttahere:

Way to Go, Kevin. Looking forward to meeting her in ES.

If you're serious about getting her to like riding with you, I'd also recommend a sissy bar.

She will be asking you to go riding soon!!! Congrats!!!

I had one. The sporty 2 up seat is very small and uncomfortable, it's a smaller bike... we're not spring chickens and neither of us are small. Just a bad combination of comfort/discomfort issues. I think she will be ok with a larger passenger seat, larger sissy bar etc... I bought the bike with none of these but will be adding them soon, then we'll see if we can make it out of the neighborhood.
