Co-Pilot Forum

[TTNW]

I posted something in the newbie area about a forum for mainly Co-Pilots but I wouldn't limit it. My thinking here is that these wonderful people that put their lives in the hands of the Pilot may have some thoughts and ideas for all of us. So, Carla recommended that I put a post here in the General area and see where it leads. And to all the Co-Pilots out there, thank you for your faith in us, the Pilots, not sure if I could be in your shoes.

Chuck, I like this

I hope I can get my wife ( The Redhead) Denise will type her thoughts here some time

I had to relearn my riding skills with her on the back, coming off of baggers and Dynas

My Sweetie is all about riding as a co-pilot. She has no desire to have her own ride. Not sure if she will get on the site and participate. She usually has 1k plus emails on the phone and Ipad and will get around to reading them some day.

I think this is a great idea. Jim

This is kind of funny

My co pilot Denise spends MOST of her day glued to a computer at work reading Drs E mails and arraigning their accreditation's classes

She has her Motorcycle License but rather to ride on the rear

We just got back from a nice nite stroll

She said when she finds time she will type some thing up here

Thanks to those who have responded so far. Maybe the Admin team will take a look and fire up this forum.

Trying to post an image but gfl on that since the death of Photobucket. Lost my co-pilot navigator in 2016. We rode throught 37 states,through rain ,through 100 degree heat even snow flurries. Saw the Rockies in the morning saw them at sunset. Rode the PCH in California along with Mulholland dr. She was licensed since 18 but chose to be a co-pilot navigator. She was the best!

Sorry for your loss Mick

Thanks it really is appreciated. To me having a co-pilot along made it that more enjoyable having someone to share it with and enjoy it with.People would ask us about weather and riding and we would tell them that some rides always werent as good as others but theres no such thing as a bad ride. On some of our long rides she would catch a few winks on the back. You could usually tell because the back seat would get very quiet for awhile. And some of the cars that passed you would get such a look. She was a trooper. Our longest trip was to see our son in California because he was stationed at Vandenberg AFB. By the time we got home we did 6800 miles in 17 days. Took the southern route to California and the through the Dakotas on the way home. Our Lehman Goldwing didnt miss a beat and let us just eat the miles up. Sadly that wound up being our longest trip due to her health. But we got it in and had a lot of fun in the process.She got me into the trikes and we never looked back. Best thing I ever did for riding.

Mick, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Co-Pilot. I have taken several rides by myself and they have been wonderful. Have seen a lot of beautiful things on my journeys, but, there was no one there to share them with. Once again, I now have a co-pilot again and I'm now able to enjoy these sames sights even better now that I have someone to share them with. Please continue to ride and enjoy, that is my wish for you.

There have been some very support comments on the idea of a co-pilot forum, I wish we would hear from the Admins on this issue. Either Yay or Nay...

I have been both a pilot and co-pilot. I am not a lifelong rider so when I had my Freewheeler I was concentrating so hard on riding that I couldn't enjoy the scenery. Now that I'm the co-pilot on our Triglide I find I'm enjoying the sights much more. I will say though, I do enjoy riding alone on short trips when my pilot is working.
