Me, I wouldn't drive one. Too many people get killed or busted up bad on those. A years or two ago I was driving up the Northway and saw a dumped bike with the driver under a sheet. The drivers buddy was sitting on the guardrail just stunned, a Sunday drive turned to death and families' lives changed forever.

Yep it happens. What eventually brought my wife around to loving motorcycles, was of all things, the year she spent working a trauma unit. Eventually, she came to the conclusion that when your number is up, your number is up. She saw too many people in supposedly safe SUV's go out the back door. Life's too short to live afraid.

My girlfriend is a doctor and rides. I am a member of a sportbike site and she was also a member. Saw I lived 70 miles and invited me to ride with her group. Rode up there the next sunday and met her. Turned on the old Speed_Addiction charm and she was pretty much mine after that.
