WELCOME to the Savage Zone
Don't give up on your wife riding yet. I got my S40 in November of 09, I think) and din't actually ride it until February or so of this year. Then, when no one was home, I would take her out and wash her, and play with her
(lol) and finally one day, I said to heck with this, I started her up, walked her to the road, took a deep breath, and away I went.
I only went around my neighborhood at first, then started riding her to "bike nites" and now I ride her to the store, to get nails done, haircut, etc. even sometimes "just to ride". I still ride with hubby on longer trips, but am building confidence daily. BTW, this is the BEST place for any questions.
Everyone on here will give you an honest answer, even if it seem like a silly question.
So, WELCOME! and Thank you all !
