Default Giving a big-un a ride

This happened to me on Sunday, great day for riding, I was asked to give this big woman a ride, about 225lbs, I give her the run down about what she is supposed to do, and get on the Flhtc. I am a little leary but take the bike off the stand and stand straight up with it, front brake is on and she starts to get on, steps on the passenger floorboard and I can't see WTF is going on, but holy crap the bike almost went frigging over, I yell and she falls on the passenger seat, i take her for a ultra short ride, and told her to slide off and not use the floor board, I am 6'1" and over 250lbs and far from a weakling, I did pull a muscle in my leg. Don't do it.

Next time strap 200 punds of sand to the front fender for counter balance.

Or better yet, take your advice.......DON'T DO IT!!

You, my friend, have DEFINITELY violated Rule #135 Vol.16 Art. 8 Sec.FCRIC of the Harley Davidson Ownership Manual:

Fat chicks ride in cars or in the bed of pickup trucks

Please surrender your endorsement IMMEDIATELY.[8D]

To think if someone saw you......<shudders>[:'(]

I also hate to admit, there were a lot of smiles with the lady on the back of bike. A group of youths yelled something and I am glad I didn't hear it.

You brought her a fleeting moment of sheer happiness and are to be commended for your kindness. Saint Harley will smile on you from above and save you from a flat rear tire sometime.....but don't push your luck!
