Yep same with my wife and me.

YES it would bug me if she did stuff like that. I'm with Tig...I'd get a sick feeling in my stomach thinking something bad had happened. Of course I'd be pizzed once I realized that she just happened to go sightseeing.

maybe it's worth it for you to invest in those blue tooth intercoms...


but honestly... with a new(ish) rider... it's YOUR responsibility to make them understand what is considered bad etiquette... at least IMO

I would agree with this one.

Hopefully she'll never have to experience someone she cares about suddenly dropping out of view because they've crashed.

If she really wants to stop then some way of communicating such is in order.

Technology replaces common sense too much. Or, people try to make it replace common sense.

I know some people who would benefit from artificial common sense... that count?

What he said, but also, perhaps consider riding behind her...that way if she pulls over you know about it.

Have you also explained WHY its such an issue?

If you tried all that and it was still an issue, give her a taste of her own behavior. Pull over and let her panic that you aren't back there.
