Ah, so that explains why your wife is pissed off.

yeah, that was one of them.
I don't know her boyfriend didn't have a problem with it. Of course he wound up getting a bike out of it because she enjoyed riding. |

Im with Gas, check with manufacturer...
As for getting that unexpected ride, PLEASE carry gear as well as a helmet. I will never forget the night a buddy picked a girl up. She looked so cute in her flip flops, itty bitty cotton shorts and tank top, but she had a HELMET!! I couldnt ride behind them, I cringed every time I saw her that night. *shudder* |

I guess she didn't like it because I offered my bike for him to ride (with the condition I rode 2up) while his bike was out of commission so he could ride? Oops.

It's not like I randonly hop on the back of the bike with someone.
I keep jeans/shoes in the car in case I need a change of clothes. I've had opportunities to ride when not excepted... like a co-worker brought their new bike to work and told me I could take it for a spin. Or a friend needed help getting their bike to the shop for service. Stuff like that. Just had the thought of keeping my extra helmet and gloves in the car. I won't ride without my gear. |

OK. So I looked on Suomy's website, since that the brand I have.
It states "Do not keep the helmet inside a car or trunk. The high temperatures and vibrations of the car might damage it." Very last warning - http://www.suomy.com/warning.html |
