NO, DON'T DO IT!
I wouldn't consider picking up a non-rider for a long ride. A couple of hours can be a looooong time to carry a freaked out woman on a bike. It's very dangerous to carry someone that doesn't know how to be a passenger.
I once took a first timer over to some event at Ann Marie Gardens. She was doing fine till we got to the Solomons bridge. Seemed she "forgot" to mention bridges freaked her out. She was shaking, squirming and grabbing. Very difficult to maintain control of the bike.
Luckly, she continued to shake squirm and grab after I got her back home

the thing is .. she may want to , but should she?desertrat said:
Is it wise for someone who has never ridden , not physically active ride a motorcycle for that long?
I as here , because I don't know squat about motorcycles or riding motorcycles - I have only ridden with my husband twice - ever, and they were short trips. I don't know if her back can hanle it, I don't know if she will get a cramp- i DON'T KNOW ANYTHING,
and this is my mom, i love her dearly, I dont want her hurt or uncomfortable. I am freaking out about this .
She doesn't ever want to hurt anyones feelings ever so , i think she might just put up with it.
If anything happens to her I dont know what I would do.

It's dangerous for both of them
Once you get her home, take her for a ride and see how she likes it. It would totally suck if she decides she's scared to death and believes the only way she'll live to see tomorrow is to get off the bike. Best case would be she's standing on the road for several hours while you go home, get the car and return. Worst case is she doesn't wait for the bike to stop to get off.

Cool, just thought I'd try to save ya some money..slotted said:
Someone on here (Birdman??) even has a motorcycle tire mounter.. so hopefully we can get him to show us (as in me and everyone but slotted) how to use it and save even more money!!
When you go through two or three sets of tires a year ya REALLY want to find a way to save money on them.
