Sidecar;

1. They get used to being able to carry the ball gowns, choice of shoe colours, spare curling tongs etc.

2. A few European side overtakes using the passengers facial expression method should convince that two bikes are better.

I did suggest it once some years back, I got seriously abused, despite the promise of curling tongs. What is it with bloody curly tongs that they can't do with out?? My wife has straight hair - :confused1:

Hello g6snl, Lida my wife, swore for years she "would never get on a motorcycle" and so we travelled for 25 years by bicycle. Firstly short local trips followed by longer trips within our state NSW and followed by more extensive travels throughout Australia. All by bicycle. At one stage, we were away from Katoomba for 4 years. Fantastic fun. 19½ years ago Dylan arrived in our lives and slowed us down somewhat. Although we continued on with our bicycle travel, each step seemed slow and gradually, our touring almost stopped. When Dylan reached 15 Lida purchased him a motor cross motorcycle. This began a new life, for all of us and eventually, Lida came home and told Dylan and myself, she was "booked in to do the Learners course with Stay Upright. Perseverance and a couple of attempts got her through and onto her L plates. A year later she finally obtained her provisional motorcycle license. Now, three years later, Lida has done around 45,000kms, has had two motorcycles, (a 250 virago and a CB400), and has ordered a new BMW G650GS only 3 weeks ago complete with accessories sufficient to commence long term touring. Not bad for a girl who said she would "never ride a motorcycle". Progress has been slow but continuous and lots of fun. Motorcycle touring with the person closest to you is very special. I am attaching some photos to show Lida and her progress through the ranks of motorcycles. Best of luck to you both. Rod.
