New Bike for a newby

[scapco at ecentral.com]

Folks,

I'm trying to assist a friend who is wanting buy get back 
into bikes after a multi-decade absence.  I have no idea 
about his riding skills, but he's a very level headed type 
and old like me.  ;-)

He's wanting to find a bike he can get comfortable with and 
maybe eventually get his wife on the back, but this isn't 
mandatory. The ability to go down a dirt road is appealing 
to him, but he's not looking for a dirt bike as such.  I 
can think of a few bikes, but would like some input from 
others.  Any suggestions??
