Carrying a passenger

[jmk865]

Took the better half for a ride today. It was her first time riding in two years. She hadn't ridden since I began having some trouble holding our weight at stops etc. She really enjoyed the tow-pac equipped Vulcan; so it looks like I've got my riding partner back. I see many rides in our future. Can't say how much I appreciate alll the advice and input I've gotten from this forum...thanks a million everyone.

We dont have any intercom on the Wilmac yet
So at speed, most everything is hand signals
One finger, I need to stop eventually
two fingers, I need to stop REALLY soon.

If you are riding in the Kansas WIND, and
your passenger shifts weight, it can be very noticeable
If you are passing a wind break and the the above
happens, it can be a bit scary.

My wife doesn't want a damn thing to do with it. Her loss, I go anyway. I did add a back seat though, in hopes she may one day change her mind... :Shrug:

Much easier carrying a passenger on a trike than a bike. All the passenger has to do is sit there and enjoy the ride.

Try not to let them fall asleep. In my case, that seems to be futile, but try anyway....it's scary when they do that.:Trike1:

I agree 100%! We ride with a Sena Bluetooth headset radio, every 30 minutes or so if I don't hear some chatter, I check to see if she's still awake. I can not imagine falling asleep on a bike, of any kind, even though I have always said, "Riding a bike is hours of boredom, punctuated by moments of sheer panic", especially true on a trike.

Now, I just set the cruise control, adjust the seat and handgrip heat, lean back and let 'er drift.

My advice...ride faster than the speed of sound so you can't hear her scream!:xzqxz::clapping::laugh:

Also remember that 4 eyes are better than 2.A passenger needs to tell you of things they believe to be a threat or danger that you may have missed.

You've been talking to my wife. STOP IT!
