The woman's perspective. I have been riding for just over 18 months, am 57yo with no prior bike experience. We have been travelling RTW for 5 months both on DR650s They can be lowered for the shorties like me. It has been baptism by fire. Many days I felt terrified. I still have a lot to learn, but am improving. Definitely start small with a bike she can pick up on her own.Im only just feeling confident to ride on my own knowing I probably wont drop it. Having said that I'm laid up in Thailand with a broken foot.
Its not without issues for us though. Im much slower and his riding enjoyment is compromised and I feel inadequate much of the time. Many couples love 2up. If it aint broke dont fix it, I say.
