Every manual I have read and teaching guide says to lift up slightly when going over bumps for the reason below.why do you lift up over bumps?
So the bike doesnt throw ya off.... .
Personally i think before you are riding any passengers, you need to get some good miles under your belt!
You need to learn the bike as well as the road!

I completely agree! I will be doing a lot more riding alone before wifey sits with me again.
I was riding pretty hard on a very small road through lots of trees one day. The road was very shaded and hard to see bumps. I hit one bump so hard i came completely off of the bike. If I would not have reacted and held onto the bars, I would have flown completely off of the bike, it bucked me that hard.
If I would have seen the bump and lifted my ass off the seat a bit, The bike would have bounced but not thrown all that force into me making me do the same movement and off the bike. The swingarm and my pivot in my knees would have soaked up the force instead.
It's illegal in NJ to ride 2up with a permit. Be careful.

I think there's a misunderstanding, someone thinks "getting up" means the bike when in fact he means lifting his butt off of the seat. And no, lifting your butt will not ruin a tire. Catching air/doing wheelies can, though.
I finally broke 75mph today..
Exactly, thanks for the clarification.
Update, I've been riding it a lot, rode it to ork today and will again tomorrow. I am loving it! Bike rides great and I finally broke 75mph today. Though it was only to get up to the speed of traffic.
I have about 150 miles or so of riding under my belt and I never want to get off.
Which highway do you take?
When we going riding ? Im a slow conservative rider.
Route 1 south for work. Next week I will venture onto 287 n and s and onto 1 to go to work.
287 will be cakewalk compared to Rt 1
