I
should get you in contact with my wife. She can give you coping advice and you can provide fashion advice.
I started my most recent motorcycle build project with a lot of internal debate about how I would handle passenger accommodations. In the end I realized that my wife has averaged 15 minutes of seat time per year with me since 1998. So the new bike will have NO passenger seat (or a lick 'n' stick if absolutely necessary).
In the meantime she's engaged in quite a few art projects...she's got 3 or 4 paintings that she's working on right now. Since she typically does nature scenes, good riding days = good painting days.
