I'll be 63 in 5 weeks, wife has been 39 for 20+ years, and she's on the back 40% of the time. A good (bad!) point with the AE, no more helmet banging, nor ****s in the back when shifting. Plus the 1150RT pillion is closer to the pilot than the FJR, which assists in the 2 touchy-feelies.

 
When asked, I claim 29...(AGAIN). In reality I just had my 38th bday, although, I STILL maintain that I turn 29 every year!!!

Weekedays when I commute I'm SOLO.

Weekends, the FJR doesn't get ridden unless the wife and I are 2UP...giggity!

I maintain the FJR was an "US" purchase to the spousal unit. But we all know better. ;)

I'm 62 and my wife is 63. Except when I'm using the bike to go to work, I'm always two up. My wife lovesit; very comfortable.

 
:yahoo: 45 and rarely 2 up - Drains the Super out of Super Sport - I just received (as a gift from a dying Uncle) a 1999 Honda Hornet 250 (Never sold in U.S.) - Fun little bike. My wife is now signed up for the MSF course and says she wants to ride with me. We'll see how all that goes -

I just (against the recommendations from some on this forum) installed a new titanium Two Bros system. LOVE IT!!! Shaved 20 pound off the bike and they look and sound great!

Also put the Michelin Road Pilot 2's on - LOVE THEM!! The stock Bridgestones were getting weird at only 5K -

Road Ready!!!!!!

 
60 and about 25% so far but I've only had the bike for two weeks and my honey is an avid rider....that's why she gave the "OK" :yahoo: to get another bike cause my Thruxton is a single seater.

 
I'm 33. When the urge to go wild gets to me, I take my R1 out of the garage.

Bought the FJR for the wife to ride pillion with me, she went on three runs and lost interest. So now I have two bikes. Actually a waste of money, but what can I do.

Very long long trips I take the FJR. Just playing around in the Mountain Passes here I ride my R1.

 
Since I gave my wife a convertible, she hardly ever rides with me, anymore. The kids are all big teenagers (or grown), and they've quit riding with me. Rarely do I carry a passenger, since last year.
I will 50 in a couple of months and the wife rarely rides. As a matter of fact I rarely ride.
