First time passengers
- Thread starter Fulkon
- Start date
I have a 10 minute safety briefing in witch I explain what are the do and don't while a passenger. I had a green passenger for a 350 mile ride Sunday, she was the best passenger I ever had, I really had to check from time to time that she was there.Just out of curiosity, what advice do you give to first time passengers that want to ride with you?
I don't have time right now, but I'll update my post with what I say in that briefing.
It depends. If I don't think that they can understand, I just tell them to hold on, and stay still.Just out of curiosity, what advice do you give to first time passengers that want to ride with you?
TIPS FOR THE MOTORCYCLE PASSENGER
Googled it, kind of glanced over it because I'm at work but it may help.

Kevin's link looks pretty good.
I wouldn't suggest telling the passenger to lean. All it really takes is for them to look over your inside shoulder on the side you're turning towards. They just need to stay with your position.
I guess if you were actually leaning off the bike, the passenger should mirror this motion like we've seen in some crazy pictures.
However, if you are mostly in plane with the bike as you lean it into a turn, the passenger should stay in that same plane. Leaning off axis either way will mess with your balance as a rider.
