So the G/F hates the Gixxer. The Katana has spoiled her. She actually has to ride the Gix pillion where she only had to be present on the Katana's.
It was so bad at one point, I wanted to miracle us home.
She couldn't sit still, couldn't hang on, couldn't do the hands-on-the-tank thing and couldn't do the hands on my thighs thing. She said her butt was sliding back and forth on the seat even just over bumps. I was much smoother on the otherwise choppy throttle with her on board. She never found her groove. It was clear she was anxious evidenced by her forgetting the simple crap -- waiting until the bike is stopped to dismount, for instance. It was a disaster.
Riding is a huge part of our relationship and I think she thinks that since she [feels she] can't ride it, we will grow apart. I have tried to reassure her this is not the case and I reminded her we still have the Kat and a Bandit motor. Not to mention we're still silly fast on the Kat two-up.
She cheered up a bit but I know it's eating her. What to do?
