Two Up

You have seen that I write about safety and training, a bit here, a bit there. Any rider will tell you many trips are made two up and always with someone very valuable to the one in the front. Whether it be a loved one or one that is to be needing loving in the physical or mental states. I prefer to make my longer trips with someone and do so many times a year, weekly or daily at best. We were not trained by anyone on how to ride with a pssenger and only get that experience on our own. Passenger safety comes from the passenger which include riding gear, IE: proper attire, including footwear, helmets depending on the state and general attitude! Flipflops and open toe sandals are not what I would call proper gear, but have been know to try it myself once or twice, not recommended from my point of view. Helmets in my state are required on your head not in your hands as you try to brush your hair at 60 plus MPH (just doesn't work). Other than shoes and helmets, I don't care what a person wears, as long as your not overweight and wearing a sundress that blossums up to your belly (yes, this does include you gents!) Unsightly legs are just as bad as undies that weren't thongs, but look like them at higher speeds and big legs. As the backseat rider/passenger do everything you can to help the driver, not annoy or hinder the person in front. Just remeber two up means just that, keeping the bike two up!
See you on the Road!
