My PIL (Partner in Life) had never been on a motorcycle until she met me. Then I started taking her for short rides on my Ducati. It went so well that she and I threw some money together and bought a Triumph Sprint RS and did some trips out of CT to VT and ME and even to a BMW National Rally in Ohio. She no longer rides because we spend so much time cycling. My moto adventures are limited to around town and once or twice a year a 3-day weekend in New England or upstate NY. And, at 76 I sold my last Ducati (there have been 6 over the past 26 yrs) and bought a new Triumph Street Triple. She and I have been cycling together since we met which is about 20 yrs. It's a great partnership.
