Passengers

If you have ever been a passenger on a motorcycle, then you may know the feeling of being completely helpless, and yes, a little bit scared. If you’re lucky, then you were riding with an experienced motorcyclist that respected your comfort and safety and made the whole experience more fun than frightening.

However, if you’ve ever ridden with an inexperienced person, then you probably understand that passengers and newbies don’t mix. It takes lots of practice to have the skills required to ride with a passenger on the back. For this reason, you should wait until you have a lot of time and miles under your belt before letting anyone on the back of the bike. And even then, be sure to practice turning and stopping in an empty parking lot – preferably with someone who knows a thing or two about motorcycles and passengers – or else you’re going to be putting two lives at risk.
