We have a few around here somewhere.Have not seen anything from the other "ladies" regarding comfort on the FJR. Or is this a mens only site ?

By no means. It's just that women, by nature, have better things to do. Such as, acting like grownups. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. In Brenda's case (5'7"), her knees complain after a while in the saddle but otherwise she is very comfortable with the moved-back Givi box and pad. I just can't seem to get her to stand up and overcome her fear of falling off due to peg failure or some other such nonsense. So, she's restricted to straightening out her legs from time to time.Or is this a mens only site
Crap, Bob! You mean her knees talk too?! Gawd, I don't know if I could deal with that!her knees complain after a while in the saddle
Can't help you much- Lorri doesn't mind riding pillion, if her bike's laid up... but since she learned to ride this past spring, she'd rather ride, even if I'm going to be lazy and drive, so my only comment is that I've taken to hiding the key to my FJR...Have not seen anything from the other "ladies" regarding comfort on the FJR.

My wife likes to ride pillion and I like her back there. We have a intercom system setup and that makes a world of difference. With kids and work etc, sometimes I think the only time we really get to ourselves is on the bike. She does not have much interest in riding her own bike, and the few times it has come up as a possibility, I have discouraged the idea. Not because I don't think she should, but we also ride dirt bike, and frankly her riding skills are not ready. I'm a strong believer in new riders spending a fair amount of time on a dirt bike before heading to the street. For one thing you learn how to use the controls effectively in an environment were the obstacles are not moving. On the street the trees are all made of steel, have wheels and are aiming for you.Thnx for the welcome !! I just read so much about the riders, their height, their gear etc. and wonder what the pillions think, tho I know most riders prefer to ride one up ! Except Howard (or so he claims)Lynda
