Rob, the situation calls for drastic measures. Viragos HATE to sit idle -- Jenny has taught me that much. As long as I ride her at least once every couple of weeks, she putters along happy as a pig in slop. Let her sit for a month and she is one pissy, moany, biddy. If you don't want all your newfound friends :-D to help you out, tell your wife to do the decent thing and take it out herself. Don't say she's too little. If she's 5 feet tall she can do it. I'm 5 feet tall and Jenny is an 1100. Don't tell me she's a weak and feeble woman. So am I. :-D The only convincing argument would be that she doesn't like your bike, and for someone not to like a Virago 1100 is like not liking puppies or kittens, that's just plain wrong.
Oh, and get better soon!
Trout
