I've been riding 3 and 4 wheelers since I was 4. I waited 5 minutes and threw my wife on back when I finally bought a Harleyl

 

Actually about 100 miles. Foolish of me and foolish of the wifee to have that much confidence in me. Can't say there were any major problems doing it but I don't think it was a wise thing to do. We were probably just very lucky.

 

A BIG +1

Just get on her and ride like hell. Whats the problem? Keep her feet on the pegs and tell you before she gets on and off. Ride it.

 

I wasnt really looking for advice, I knew well enough when it was time, I was just curious what different people did in the same circumstance.

And totalfiasco, I was wondering how long it would take somebody to turn my good grammar into a bad joke. :P

 

Here in Japan, it is against the law to have anyone on the back of your bike until you've had your license for a year. And you have to wait 3 years before you can ride 2-up on the tollways (interstate equivalent).

 

15 minutes/12 miles.

 

around 3000 miles. i just went two up for the 1st time this past weekend.she had road a bike but its been a long time. she was leaning into the turns. but too soon.she was actually turning the bike in light turns. i finally told her to just stay up right and go with it when it leans over.it was better after that. its definatly different with a rider on the back. also got the bike chrissened this weekend too. gas, grass, or *** nobody rides for free

 

My wife is realtively small but still affects the handling. Once I got the 8's and circles down solo, I put her on and practiced the same. It's different but not bad. I also had the engine redone to a 107 with new cams, that really helped the torque and made it more fun and safe to ride.

 

I just got a bike after not riding for 20 years. I rode around the neighborhood and on some local back roads for a couple of days before I let my wife get on the back.

I always tell any passengers;
- keep your feet on the pegs
- Do whatever you are comfortable with when I turn - lean, don't lean - but whatever you choose, don't change in the middle of the curve or turn.
- Watch the pipes, they get hot
- hold on
- when we're slowing, you may want to lean back a bit to avoid knocking helmets/heads
- Don't get off until I tell you to do so (I hate when I'm holding the bike up with my right foot, shifting into neutral, and the passenger decides to hop off the left side!) :-D

 

Sounds like she's destined to ride her own! lucky guy!

I waited about 4-6 weeks..couple hundred miles
