    I always tell my passengers that the most important thing is to not shift weight in the middle of a corner. No matter how bad of a position you think you are in to take the corner, if you stay in that position, I'll be able to at least get around the corner in a somewhat stable way. If you shift your weight, that takes an unstable position and makes it 20x worse, because now it a moving unstable position.

    I must admit I like riding solo, I can rip the throttle and the response is way better. That being said I do miss having my wife on the back for some riding. She quit riding after having surgery over 3 years ago and she still says it hurts when hitting bumps and braking. So now all my riding is solo.

    I always tell the passenger to look over my shoulder in the direction of the turn. It's a natural thing to do and makes them part of the process, I also ask them to keep an eye out for hazards.

    First ride as a passenger today. We discussed some basic communication taps first, and upon my tap to signify I was ready, he opened the bike up. No sissy bar and I thought I was slipping off the back. I couldn’t do the pat to signify that it was too much for me, and I prayed hard .... I’m not even religious. I made it home safe and it was both exhilarating and a little scary at times. Worst part is that I’ve caught the motorcycle bug, damn I’m ready to get my own and take the test.

  • @quailchow

    Passenger/new rider here, thanks for the video. I started riding as a result of riding passenger of a cool sportbike of a guy I was really into. It was such a thrill that when me and the guy stopped seeing each other I decided to take a course and get a motorcycle of my own. PLOT TWIST: after I got my bike I sent a photo of me and my bike to the guy and we're back together and he's helping me learn. :)
    SOME THINGS TO MENTION: It's important to not crowd the rider. A few times I found myself sliding forward (I'm a pretty petite girl) and have to slide myself back into place on my seat. Riding passenger on sportbikes is not the most comfortable thing and I find myself bouncing around a lot and will have to make sure I have good grip on the pegs.
    Also, when in doubt, just ask the rider what he/she prefers as for grip style. I still continue to ask for feedback on how I'm doing as a passenger.

    Can I add that tying hair back is a good idea. You’d think that hair gets blown backwards behind the passenger, but it often winds up in the passengers face or worse, in the drivers face.

    Leaning is a must have I never drivin a motorcycle but I know it’s a must, one day my ex girls fathers like let’s go for a rip on the snow machines (me being 16 and the last I rode was with my dad when I was 10ish) I said I knew what I was doing, we came out of his trail to the main trail and he gunned it so I did the same, my girlfriend and I both leaned outside cuz of the corner and I one skied it and the ass slid out in a drift I instantly stood up and counter balanced it, it scares the shit out of me for the rest of the ride that I could have injured my girlfriend, don’t do shit your not comfortable in, it’s not worth it

    @ryanmiller3020 2 года назад

    Hi. I think I can agree with most of what you say, particularly if you’re riding a loud bike, but some of what you mentioned really wouldn’t apply to a passenger who is blind. And for this, we need a big bike. But a good example of what I’m trying to point out is that most of the bumps, acceleration and what have you can be felt for, so you don’t really need to see you to know about that. But as far as getting an endorsement, that would be superfluous if you happen to be a passenger and you’re blind. It just means that we have to be sure that we are on the back with a very experienced rider, like you said. But you might be interested to know that I collect diecast model bikes. And I happen to be a fan of Harley Davidson‘s.

    Everyone who has gotten on my bike with me I tell to hang on tight and keep their shoulders even with mine and as long as they listen it's no big deal having a passenger aside from the increased braking effort and distances it's when they start trying to fight the lean or shift weight mid corner that you will have issues

  • @maxlutz3674
    @maxlutz3674 4 года назад +2

    A good passenger should also take care to be fairly fit. It greatly helps when they can support some of their weight on the tank when braking. Don´t lie on the topic of your weight. Doing so might mean that you have to find an alternative means of transportation for your way home (some LEOs around here actually bother to use scales).
    A good passenger should be prepared for the posibility that wearing a helmet might ruin the hairdo too.

  • @Dominus_Potatus
    @Dominus_Potatus 4 года назад +23

    2 people on a bike, for rider:
    1. Never throttle suddenly, trust me it is bad.
    2. Only brake suddenly if it is really needed.
    3. Give space to your ball, each time you brake, your ball will be squashed.
    for passenger:
    1. Try to relax and enjoy the ride.
    2. Adjust your position only when the bike is stop.
    3. For no gay situation, always put your hand on your tight. If needed, put your hand on the rider shoulders.

    It’s hard to balance during slow speeds if you a type of rider that likes to lean the motorcycle itself pretty hard because the second person usually won’t move their body to balance with you, therefore countering your lean. I rode a couple of my friends on my cbr300 most like both of us together would be like 280lbs which a lot of weight for small bike. Also one time I was sitting on my bike and with no notice my friend hopped on the back. I was very close to dropping the bike

    I'm going to old man here.
    I have something like 150,000 miles under my belt maybe more, I don't know.
    I do know one thing and that is the bitches be crazy. They will jump right on the back of bike without much thought. Personally unless it's some sort of emergency with a rider I know well I would never ride back seat. Women just take a leap of faith that the rider knows what he doing? Add gender combinations here.....
    I ride 2 up probably 80% of the time now, I can't escape my wife. "Oh going for a ride, I'll go." Not really what I had in mind. She's well trained, does what she should be doing but I think my mistake was showing her too much and gearing her up. She rode a moped in college so she knows how, she just needs to scale it up but she can't ride the bikes I ride and seems to like the thrill or whatever. I did have the idea of her getting a bike, I doubt that idea goes anywhere. She wood just rather ride in on a cool big bike as passenger compared to riding in herself on a Honda Rebel.
    Been up grading my wife's gear which if you have a partner that will be around a while you need to get them some good gear. End result is this for me. Bought a com system which is nice to hear the GPS, talk to your passenger and answer a phone call if it comes in. Also a few weeks a go caught a go sale on ladies leather jackets, full on riding jackets. $450 jacket for $125, the North is going snow for winter so they needed to get ride of some stuff I guess. I live in the Deep South BTW. We're riding through a swamp which is the usual where I am with big rain coming down. Wife says where we going to stop? I said we don't need to I can ride in this. I think that was the first time in her life that she realized a bike can ride in heavy rain and with the right gear it's really not a problem. 20 minutes later she realized rain isn't a problem which is one of the things that always scares her. It might rain I don't want to go for a ride. Now that isn't a limiting factor.
    Well shouldn't have bought her a jacket that works right and told her rain really isn't problem. Riding by myself is becoming more of a problem.

      @Wouter Incognito Owned both of those but the problem is I don't really have a place to ride a dirt bike legally. Never really stopped me before but ....

      Maybe tell your wife this instead of complaining about her wanting to spend time with you

    I got into riding because I'm a loner and I enjoy my alone time. Don't need anyone around me. Want me to take you for a ride? Buy your own fucking bike.
