Over the last 3 summers the Squeeze and I have taken four separate week long trips into the US. We ride with full face lids and I wear earplugs. Communication is little more than a few standard hand gestures (tap on the knee, flash the thumbs up and she recipricates - All is well)
And the ocassional:
Me "did you see that?"
Her "what?"
Me "did you see THAT?"
Her "what?"
Me "DID YOU SEE THAT?"
Her "see what?"
Me "It's GONE"
Mostly I'm ok with this set up. Riding for me is about being tuned into the ride, enjoying the scenery and a chance to be with my own thoughts.
Now I wonder if the trips would be better if we had communicators of some sort (scala, chatterbox etc). However I also think something might be lost if the solitude was replaced with chatter, just because we could.
I'm interested in how this worked for other couples or not as the case maybe...
