Also, you may want to do some soul searching first, if planning
to get one to take the wife touring. If she's an old biker mama,
then non problemo, but if not, well ..... at least get yourself
a good big insurance policy first [she'll probably only get on the
bike once, and will want some kind of support after you're gone.

[BTW, the mountains west of Denver here are littered with small
plane wrecks too].
