Do you take turns driving your Spyder with your husband, wife or significant other ??

[Scotts8826]

My wife has no interest in driving. She did get licensed so she is able to drive in case something ever happened to me on the road. So, she'll drive a little around town. However, she'd much rather climb on back and open her phone and talk with friends while the miles go by.

My wife's mother died leaving her a small inheritance. She bought her bike first and would behind riding with our son, leaving me at home. After a summer of this crap, I got tired of sitting at home alone, so I said I am not staying at home alone while you and Curtis (our son) goes off riding and having fun, so at then of the riding season of 2013, WE went and bought ME a new 2013 RTL. It was a great bike and never had a problem with it. I don't think she ever rode behind me, nor did I ever ever ride behind her. She has hers, I have mine!

My wife, who you'll meet some day Lou, always wants me to do the driving. I had hoped she should learn ( or at least get the basics) of driving the :spyder2: . BUT NO and I don't push it. It's said---a happy wife =a happy life----so I don't even ask any more.

Looking forward to riding with you and your wife, Lew.

We took ours out near Portola last weekend to check out some campgrounds. I should've invited you, but it was kind of a spontaneous thing. Plus, I let my g/f drive around the curvy sections so that she can gain more confidence in driving her Spyder. (Yes, it's actually hers, since I still have my Harley).

It was really a fun day.

That was our/MY logic - - why let my husband drive and have ALL THE FUN? So we each picked out our ride and didn't look back!

I'm definitely thinking of getting another Spyder when my 2-wheel days are over........but for a while, LOL.

I bought the SE5 thinking my wife would be able to drive this one if she wanted. She drove it once around the block, thought it was nice and that was the end of that. She will now barely ride with me at all, so I am back to riding pretty much alone.

That kinda sucks.

But there's always something to be said about riding by yourself....

I started riding the old RT when my Road King wouldn't start and we had a trip planned. I enjoyed gawking at the scenery, but my wife is very much a 1-up operator, so when she traded up, I got her old one.

Now we're a two Spydee family:shemademe_smilie:

My girl friend doesn't want to learn to drive my Spyder. She is happy as a passenger.

 

[Yabbadabbadoo]

So far my wife is enjoying being a passenger and has no interest in driving. But I know her well after almost 30 yrs together eventually she'll want one of her own.

No. One for me and one for her and all is well.

We initially bought the Spyder for her as a follow-up to me getting my first sport bike for my 60th birthday 6 years ago. A great Spyder deal came along three years later at such a low price for a low mileage '14 RT-L that we just couldn't pass it up. Unfortunately we did not realize her upper body strength was not up to driving the Spyder for more than about an hour at a time. That killed the thoughts of going on separate vehicles for any great distances. That said, I don't mind at all being on the back seat until she tires enough to switch positions. It allows me to shoot pictures that I want instead of depending on her tastes 100% of the time.

Voted no as we have purchased two spyders so we don't have to share the front seat!

 

[Trbayth]

My wife and I will occasionally trade when she wants to push my ST through the twisties. Now that my step-daughter has her license and once I can pick up my new F3, she'll ride the ST. Then we'll be a 3 Spyder family

My wife prefers the back seat so she can sleep. When she's awake I do hafta turn off the intercom sometimes.
