i personally like to ride last cos i don't like anyone at my back and most of the people i ride with are male and i like to watch their bums in their leathers!!  8)

Yesterday, we went out....my spouse had her daughter (20 yrs old) as a passenger.  I don't ride passengers...no foot pegs  

Anyway, we rode a good bit of mountains (stopped at a bike shop) and had a good ride.  Amazingly, her daughter, with very limited experience, seems to do very well as a passenger.  I led part of the time, and then my spouse wanted to lead (I think she got tired of hearing my pipe  , but I noticed that her daughter did "follow" the rider pretty well from my view from behind.  Her daughter did have a sore butt when we got back though...

Here is a picture that I took the last time the 3 of us went riding.  I hope that it isn't too big.

the boss was sore for a few days. the bike (a vtx) has to have a new gas tank now.
he is currently on vacation going to a honda magna owners meet somewhere in tennessee... and he rode his magna.

as for me, i am riding to work almost daily. and it's going well. today was the first day i didn't get lost downtown on the way in.
