Does anyone really like riding 2 up?

Back in my younger dirt biken days I always liked to take the girls for a ride on the MX bike. They'd have no choice but to hold on tight around my waist, I'd just pull on the front brake once or twice and get them nice and close so I could feel their boobies on my back then proceed to scare the crap out of her. Usually had good success with my antics. haha.

Love having my wife with me. Riding along looking over the countryside, and when she reaches up and runs her hands across my shoulders or down my sides it gives off a comforting feeling that only those of us who are close to our ladies can express. That being said I don't mind taking off by myself but I also think quite often when solo how nice it would be to have my wife with me.
Agree. -stef

I love riding 2-up with my little buddy - my 8 year old son. He'll have his helmet in hand and suited up waiting at the door when I get home from work. He even waves to other riders now.
Can't ride with the wife now because well... she's 8 1/2 months pregnant - again. This will be kid #4 so I've got a few riding buddies for 2-up!

I have ridden the bike 2 up for so long that solo seems weird! Even back in our courting days(a looooooooooonnnnng time ago) I had a little scooter and we rode 2 up. Its a way of life for us.

I taught my wife to be an excellent passenger when we first met. Now she rides her own. I like riding solo, but there a lot of times I miss having her on the bike with me. I miss sharing things that occur during the course of a ride with her.

My wife is my best friend and I like the time we spend just shooting the bull when we ride. That being said I do feel less strain when she isn't back there to worry about, but I'll deal with that to have her with me.

I ride with my SO 99% of the time and I enjoy it. She knows what to do and what not to do as a passenger, she's slim and light and she doesn't scuff the lids of the saddlebags when he gets on and off the bike. <wink>
Oh and she buys stuff for the bike too. I love her.

I couldn't have said it better. Easier to ride solo, more enjoyable with my best friend on the back.
