Oldseadog Posted July 7, 2011 #1 Posted July 7, 2011 I just read the post from flyinfool, didn't do any of that! It's been three years and Leslie finally agreed to go for a short ride with a couple of friends of ours. We went out last night, staying on secondary roads, riding for about an hour. I wouldn't say she is a big fan, but said she may go out again. Her friend Ann mentioned taking a trip up island.
Flyinfool Posted July 7, 2011 #2 Posted July 7, 2011 That second pic looks more like she has a death grip on you.
MiCarl Posted July 7, 2011 #3 Posted July 7, 2011 If that's how she dresses to actually ride she'll be done the first time a large insect or stone hits her shin or foot.
rod Posted July 7, 2011 #4 Posted July 7, 2011 good for her. She may figure out how much fun it is. After that you may have trouble going out solo my friend. Rod
steamer Posted July 7, 2011 #5 Posted July 7, 2011 Put a trike kit on it and you will never get her off of it...Thats what happened to me.

Yup, hanging on for dear life, and we haven't even moved yet! ha ha ha We were taking it slow for the first time out, I think 60 - 70 km/h was about the fastest. I kept checking to see if she was comfortable with speed increases and as we weren't on any highways I just took it easy. If or when we are on the major routes I'll make sure we are properly dressed.
Marcarl Posted July 7, 2011 #7 Posted July 7, 2011 Looks a lot like my situation about 6 years ago,,, now I can leave home without her. And oh,, the dress,,,as important on the drive way as it is on any road. A bug hitting at 50 kph hurts maybe worse than at 100,,,, and if it goes over,,,,, well 10 kph ain't slow enough to prevent damage.
BG Hawks Posted July 7, 2011 #8 Posted July 7, 2011 Good to hear! I took my wife to J&P and got her some boots and the last trip we got her a rain suit. Got caught in the rain and she was NOT HAPPY. Find places that she would like to go to. We ride to many of the local wineries here in Iowa. Of course after a few samples we leave with 3-5 bottles of wine.
