My wife still is not enamored with the idea. I gave in to maxing out the life ins. and she got the best vehicle (my truck -gasp), but it was worth it. A good ride takes the days stress away. I may plan a long ride out to Yellowstone this summer, if I feel comfortable about it. I have a Kawasaki Concours, but Harley ain't a bad way to go either. I have no regrets.
Well the difference is that my wife LOVES riding motorcycles. I might end up buying her one too. Not to mention that at the end of this year, I will get my 2500 Hi Output Cummings Diesel Dodge to tow our trailer.
Bottom line is... enjoy life to the fullest while you can. Everything else is just small talk!
Get her a little Honda scooter. I love mine. Tell her stop being so unnerved. You can get wiped out crossing the street.
