When Ms. Skillet rides with me on the back it's hell on my ******* when I come to stop signs or lights. She tends to slide forward and it puts some strain on my wrists too. Is there anything that she can do to no put her weight so much forward when I stop?

 

Tell her to put her hands on the back of the tank to keep her weight off of you when stopping.

 

I want that rider as close to me as possible when two up... hug me as tight as possible, like one unit. Under braking you need to use your legs more than when solo.

 

A Corbin passenger seat has a front lip on it so less weight gets shifted during decelleration. If that's not in your budget the best you can do is tell her to try and brace herself against the pegs and grip the tank with your knees to keep yourself from sliding forward in the seat.

 

typically to ride 2 up you need female friends... and one that's willing to ride with you I don't condone riding 2 up with a guy

 

My girlfriend is too scared.

That pretty much has nothing to do with the question asked.

jokes are usually funny, no?

 

tell her to put her hands on the gas tank to push against herself

 

Don't brake so hard.

Skillet - what do you ride? Does it have a sissy bar? My SV was actually a lot worse than my R6 for carrying peeps, even though it had a bar.

I thought guys weren't supposed to have vaginas either but there you are....


to the OP. some tips. make sure passenger has full face helmet. I've heard stories of people hitting the throttle and breaking the passengers nose. Def not good if it's a lady friend, tell her to put her head to the side of yours, and move it accordingly with the turns, left turn put on left side of head, etc... Otherwise what'll happen is they'll likely keep hitting you int he back of the head and well that's slightly annoying. Have signals to warn of getting onto the throttle, to slow down, etc... typically like tap 3 times on the leg to tell her you're speeding up, have her tap you to slow down. Don't fight the lean of the bike, makes much more work for you. On braking put their hands on the tank to keep from crushing your *****. um... make sure they have gear. also don't take their feet off the pegs until you tell them too. aka like a stop light, stay where you are.

That reminds me.... make a bit more use of the rear brake when carrying a passenger. Using nearly no rear without a passenger works because there's less load shift under braking. With more weight over the rear wheel you have the liberty of using it a bit more forcefully without fear of the tire lifting off the pavement and locking up. If you feel the weight shift in your wrists and nuts release the front a bit and apply more rear. Combine this with knee grip and your nuts really shouldn't ever touch the tank.

I was going to mention the rear brake, after I used it almost exclusively on our little group ride the other day. It kept the bike from lunging, which is what smashes the nuts.

 

For the most part i have noted there are 3 types of chicks (different ways they ride), when riding...ones that don't weigh anything, and can hold on and you don't really feel they are there...these are chicks that are between 100-140 lbs for the most part. Then there are chicks that are between 140-165 that support themselves up by putting their hands on the tank....then there are chicks that no matter what they weigh they just put all their weight on you and you want to throw them off...

I just scored an 01 F4i, no sissy bar like my old Katana.

Ha, good thing Ms Skillet doesn't fall into this category

 

(to add on to what others have said)

My rules for riding 2up with the wifey:

- One hand on the tank, one hand around my waist. Switch hands as needed.

- Squeeze your knees against my hips as tight as you can.

- Look over my inside shoulder in a turn.

- Whenever possible, and if you feel comfortable, wave to other motorcycle riders.

- Wear proper gear, stay hydrated, blah blah blah.

I seen a chick with mickey (or minny) mouse ears with a little nose and whiskers the other day....she was actually the rider no passenger...i almost hit myself.

 

When coming to a stop or a tight turn, they hug my hips with their legs. And using the tank on hard stops.

 

I don't, i'm comfortable with taking risk for myself personally but not for anyone else thus i dont ride 2 up.

is that to make the pain of seeing that less bad by comparison of hitting yourself in the face? lol
