Sunday ride with the Childbride

#1

Post by rogue1000 »

Gayle and I took the hack out to Hwy46 east Sunday to wine taste and choose the wines for a benefit event we are helping put on at Castoro Cellers. It was her first time on the freeway, and first time traveling at over 40mph...her only real complaint was the noise (I thought I had extra earplugs in my bike bag, but didn't..), but she also thought that the sidecar could use a shock upgrade...The weather was pretty mild, sunny but the wind was a little cold...So, after all this time, she is finally riding with me :8). She actually said she had a good time!!!! I just bought her the right size helmut from BikeBandit; maybe next a style-ish leather jacket... crossy.gif

My wife complains about the noise as well. Unfortunately I'm the noise she's complaining about.

Hey Btian,
Two nice combos you got there: bike and sidecar, and now you and the missus! action1
Glad she enjoyed it. (Got to say that they are not the most comfortable thing to ride in if your weight isn't enough to get the suspension working.)
