Before you are ready to have a passenger, be sure to first practice with someone whom you wouldn't care too much if they got hurt, like an ex, a telemarketer or your mother in law

The last comment about not trying to impress the passenger is an easy trap to fall in. When I was younger, I had a strict rule of No Passengers, and a strict exception if the passenger was attractive. I had to consciously remind myself that the goal wasn’t to impress them, but to get a “second date” and not scare them off. That worked way better than giving them a lecture about leaning and body position so I could ride fast in the canyons and scare them anyway.

@__Razer 2 жыл бұрын

lol at the exception if the passenger is attractive. Do you keep a female sized set of full gear to loan out to your dates? I've never ridden with passenger and, frankly, I agree with you completely, as I would make a rule that I don't ride two up, but I do fantasize riding two up with my crush. I've been wondering if it's in my budget and worth it to buy my girl full gear that she might only use a few times.

@@__Razer I'm not a big guy at 5'8", so my jackets could usually fit a female passenger, if a little baggy. If you have any interest in being ready for a passenger, having a second helmet is clutch, though. I was able to borrow a spare from a friend the first request, but I ended up buying a second helmet, since I had a couple of classmates that wanted to try out the pillion. Investing $150 or so in a good spare (like a Scorpion EXOR420) so you don't have to say no to that attractive classmate is worth it IMHO. If you think you'll get at least a few uses, it's not that much more than a few dates out, if you think of it that way.

I get many comments from friends on how smoothly I ride solo regardless of the pace... I put it down to many years of almost always riding 2 up with either my wife or step-daughter. I found for new pillions to keep it simple - - look over the turn direction shoulder - acceleration - toes down - braking - heels down - I'll tap your leg to hang on tight - You tap if you want to stop/ talk. A friend made me a small sticker for the back of my helmet that said "Just scream if you want to go faster" 🤣🤣🤣

Great tips. We ride 2 up most of the time & have always enjoyed the rides. I would like to add 1 additional tip, make a habit of pulling the front brakes firmly while your passenger is mounting. This add more stability (with both feet on the ground of course) and you won't get caught rolling at some unexpected inclines.

@gnarthdarkanen7464 2 жыл бұрын

I've always just told passengers to keep their arms and hands "...anywhere UNDER my arms... such that you feel comfortable and can hold on securely"... Had a buddy who liked scaring girls in high school on the back of his bike... It was mostly fun and funny as hell... Until one that was holding onto his shoulders "freaked out" and ended up locking her arms around his NECK... As luck would have it, he got it stopped and in a few minutes we were all back to laughing (nearly hysterical) again, including the girl... BUT that could have been SOOOoooo bad... ...SO I've just been fairly strict about "below my arms"... I don't really care where or how exactly... wrap around me like a bear-hug,... clench fists into the folds or whatever of my jacket... latch onto the "oh-sh*t" handles on the sides of the bike... whatever floats your boat... Just as long as my arms are free to control the bike, and you're NOT tangling up my neck in a choke-hold... I don't need to pass out, and we BOTH don't really need to die. ;o)

A system I found that works well (if you don’t have BT comms) is telling the pillion to tap my thigh if they need to stop. With a new passenger, sometimes they freak out or just have a gear issue. A dedicated way of getting my attention, at speed, that wouldn’t normally happen (none of my classmates were grabbing my thigh normally) was really helpful.

Another tip is to put a top case on your bike. I know, it might ruin your bike's aesthetic, but the passenger will have something to rest against to. Furthermore, it gives them confidence that they likelihood of flying off the seat is considerably reduced. Plus, they have a small place to put their purse or bags. Excellent video as always Ari!

Don't forget that the rear preload adjustment on some bikes (especially older ones) is air pressure. A manual bike pump is a good choice for adjusting these, as the max pressure is usually still pretty low, and the volume is also much lower than a tire, so it can be easy to over pressurize and blow out a shock by just using your regular air compressor set to 100psi.

The note about responsibility is key. When you take a passenger, you are potentially accepting responsibility for their life and limb. It pays to take a moment to consider that. And just as well, you should talk over the risks of motorcycle riding with any passenger you take. Let them know what might happen, what things are dangerous, and make a plan together on how you together want to handle those risks. And always, always stick to that plan. And finally: Never talk someone into riding by saying it's totally safe. Have an honest, risk aware discussion about it.
