After many years of talking Diane onto the back of my bike , I finally got her on two years ago , she loves it that much that tomorrow she is doing her CBT , she picks up a new 125 Tuesday and she booked to do direct access later in the summer , not bad for a lass that two years ago wouldn't get on the back , very best of luck for tomorrow wife !!!! Keep it rubber side down

More encouragement for the ladies guys

Well done Paulpmy & very best of luck to Di. 
Mine loved to go on the back, then wanted to ride (great) She brought her own bike to learn on & was doing good, then there was a spate of bike crashes locally & 'friends' were telling her horror stories of one of the crashes. A woman, just like her, wanted to ride, loving it, had not long got her bike & licence, killed by turning right after a truck n trailer without checking & straight into the path of a car. Wasn't the cars fault.  The scenario hit a chord with her & she dropped riding after that.
Sold the bike a few weeks ago. Now I had that wee off in December last year, she won't even go on the back.  Mind you, she has said if I get a Goldwing or a K1600GTL she'll go on the back, wants an armchair to sit in.

Anyway, best of luck Di & Paulpmy & keep safe!

Sounds familiar Col, Mrs R always says she doesn't want to leave our son parenthess so won't ride, but at other times says I want a seat like an armchair. Go figure!!

T 24

Good luck Di! Mrs T24 had a 500 cc Kawasaki for a couple of years but she grew out of it and bought an XJR 1300 :grin:
Now she wants to try my turbo 14 :clapping:

You'll have to get yourself an H2 Ninja or H2R if she pinches your turbo.

My Mrs was the same, loved it on the back but hated the idea of riding.. After a few years though i convinced her to do her CBT and she has never looked back. Her first big bike was a Yam MT-09 which we both loved so much that she got another new one last year. She still loves pillion though which is a PITA but hey.. I am sure she will be fine. Good luck
So if i do stuff all all day and noone sees me do it.. Am i still a lazy git?

First present I bought my wife was a Kawasaki Z200, she had no idea how to ride it so we spent a few hours on the disused car park just down the road from us to get her used to the controls and we were out on the road within a week.  She had a couple of bikes before taking her test (pre CBT) which she passed first time and within a week of that she was riding my GSX1100 which went like stink with her on it.  Then she progressed through a number of bikes including a Honda CB 605 (formally a 550 but bored, tuned and modified to twin disk), a Les Harris Triumph Bonneville, Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster, Honda CB500 and finally a Suzuki SV650.  When we lived in Scotland she rode to Aberdeen everyday for work (35 miles each way) and clocked up a lot of miles.  Since moving to this area she has sold her bike and is happy on the pillion.  Good luck to any ladies out there who ride bikes, there seen to be quite a lot, when my wife started there were very few.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

Best of luck with your quest to get your bike license Diane. More ladies should enjoy the pleasure of motorcycle riding.
Ride safe.  :cheers:
