Let's just say that you can no longer hear the moaning, which incrementally turns to screaming, and then simply wind noise once you're over about 40mph.

oh yes a lot better , it should be part of the marriage vows and the most important part is that the male rides at the front

I believe the Super Galaxy Twin was originally fitted with drop bars front and rear and down tube shifters. Leastways the two I've had from that era have been. The original right(?) hand brake lever had two cables fitted, to operate both rim brakes, with the drag brake being operated from the other lever. This was sub optimal, as getting both rim brakes to work from the single lever means a lot of adjustment. I fitted a ratchet type gear lever to work as a drag brake lever for the stoker to use and reconfigured the pilots brake levers to the more conventional "one lever operates one brake" set up. I see the one in the photo has straight bars and conventional braking with a "normal" brake lever for the stoker operated drag.

I have often thought that a james bond type of injector seat fitted to a car would be both quicker and cheaper than a divorce?

It could have ended up very nicely for you as well. Just don't agree to marry her!
