Add to the 1+ on a Comm system. The Cardo has a separate plug in for her own MP3 paly so she can listen to her own tunes, which is great 'cuz she listens to the slower "artistic" type music that makes me want to sleep. I was a little wary of the comms as I like the meditation aspect of riding, but chatter is usually minimal and as another post mentioned I think it makes her feel safer she can pipe up for a 'knock off' is she is getting uncomfortable or nervous.

Of course it seems that the comm doesn't seem to work as well in the twists or at heavy lean angles...at least that's what I tell her...

Well it's all about incentives (bit like our Springer Spaniel really) Me and er are just off to France which we do each year. The point is we stay in great some locations, this year includes a chateau and some other great places; this I find make all the difference. Watch this space https://79.123.36.5/france2.asp . Dates are 21st to 25th September 2010.

Wow a whole 1/2 hour, it take`s some more than an hour to get to the good roads. Just woundering what clothes she wore (no i`m not a perv) i`m asking because if her jeans are on the tight side it will cut on some circulation & make it very uncomfortable ride very fast. So if she wears slacks with out rear pockets , that would help greatly. I ride 100% solo so someone`s home to make the funeral arrangments :yahoo:

Wife has never fallen asleep on the FJR, but on the Tour DeVenture she has. I think I scared the poo out of her one time too many on it.... hee hee
