The spyder is mine, so I do most of the driving. Don rides on the back all the time. All the ladies we pass seem to love him on the back because they clap, laugh and give us the thumbs up. Some of the guys also give a big grin and give a thumbs up but a lot of guys just stare with that look like wtf? Sometimes we get the thumbs down from HD riders. None of the reactions bother us, as long as we're happy, why would we care what others think?

Absolutely
Heck yeah,
We use a system where we switch at each gas-up on a long ride. Wifey really rolls!

Strange thought

When she asked why, I realized it was merely because I didn't feel "comfortable" in the passenger seat with her driving because of image related reasons. Although there is nothing wrong whatsoever with a man being driven on a motorcycle by a woman, I have never seen it...which is what brings me to my question. Have any of you guys out there been the passenger when riding 2-up with your better half? Has anyone seen this on the road(s)?
Some men refuse to ride passenger on a bike, but have no trouble being passenger in a cage (cage). I have been passenger in a car with both my daughters, and my wife. Like others, I don't see the issue for either.
Also, as for a male behind me. That would not bother me either.
Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

Last time I was a passenger was a bus ride from VA to TX and rode on 4 buses on that trip because 3 of them wrecked. 
I had to laugh at this one. I was a DOD Courier and flew on lots ofUSAF and Civilian planes Regular trip across the alantic On Pam AM). The worst passenger on these flights were off duty pilots. On the USAF flight it was worse when the pilots were qualified to fly the same plane.

All the way back she was telling how to ride it!
Another occasion was when we went on vacation a few weeks ago.I rode on the back with her to a restaurant so I can can drink.
YEP, when hubby drives mine I tell him when to shift etc. he hates it, he rather be the passenger. We have the RT Semi auto.

After 42 years of wedded bliss I would rather be a passenger with her driving so my blood pressure would come down 10 points. LOL
 Happy Spyder Owner

Yes
Yes my husband rydes as a passenger and also drives, hubby and I trade off as he like to sight see instead of paying attension to the road when we are on trips, some times he just gets tired of driving and wants to be the passenger and relax.
2 of my sons and my son in law also ryde as passenger.
I know of another couple that we do rydes with share the driving duties as well when out on rydes.

OK-- I'm retired -- still do side work -- also , to lighten wifes load as she is 14 yrs younger than me and will be working for a few years yet, I do the house cleaning-shopping--laundry-- but I refuse to lose another "MAN CARD" by being a passenger on my own Spyder-- NO WAY -- (which means I will be buying her one in the spring)

Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it.
I'm impressed by the number of riders in this post who are not intimidated by what others might think, or feel emasculated by where they sit on a roadster.
