Guys; would you ride 2up with another dude?

BobTheBiker · 07-23-2008, 12:59 PM

Personally, ONLY ONE guy will EVER sit on the passenger seat. I dont give a damn about how it looks,

wtf do I care?

Absolutely not. End of story.

I prefer taking women because they are lighter and don't mind being close. I like to move as one solid unit on the seat. But it's no big deal as I've taken male friends for rides on 100cc bikes up to 1,000cc's. Most want to hold on to the passenger rail, but then they lean in the wrong direction and you get humped at every stop light. Dangerous and gross.

I make them hold on to me and brace their hands on the gas tank for stop lights. Yeah, you look weird and you still get goosed, but it's worth it to give a friend the thrill of motorcycling. Safety is much more important than looking cool. Plus, if you wear a leather jacket and pants, you hardly know he's there.

The bottom line is my bike handles way way differently with a passenger. My Zuk wasn't bad with someone on the back. The Buell not so much. Single ride jones for me.

I think it's ok for a guy to have another guy on the back if that guy is your son or little brother but otherwise it's pretty homo.

This is true, I'll make an exception for my son to ride on the back of course but Im glad Im not alone on that one about taking other guys..LOL cuz it's just not happening for me. My wife called me the other day while she was driving and said she saw 2 guys riding 2up on an R6 and I said so how did that look and she said, " way wrong"

I don't know if I came across another rider who was broken down if my mindset would change or not (I guess it would depend on the situation) but I'd atleast stop and make sure he was ok and offer to help out any way I could.

2up males = penis puffers.

Yeah, had to give a buddy a ride up the interstate the other day! But made sure to miss as manny hevily populated areas as I could. Plus he's 5'5 145 no way I'd have some giant on the back.

Definitely no aggressive riding with a dude on the back; the further away he stays from hanging onto me the better..if you can't use the grab bar on the back then start hoofin it

I would just to fuck around sometime. There are two guys a couple years below me who ride two up on a 1990 scooter. It looks funny as shit.
