First Time Riding Two-Up

Today I went riding for a bit with a friend, and after he played with my Ninjette for a bit (has a Ducati ST2, but is thinking of getting a two-fiddy - I think he's convinced) I tried taking him as a passenger just to feel what it was like...

I think I made it about a mile, I definitely squeaked when we first started moving because of how weird it felt, and I think I'm going to hit up some more country roads for a bit before trying that again. And ya know, maybe start out with a tiny cute girl behind me rather than a 6'4" guy who weights almost as much as my bike-bike.

The end.

I laughed picturing that in my head.

Yeah, its easier to ride 2 up with a smaller person. Especially for learning. Especially on a Ninja 250 too.

Riding 2 up is how I learned my 250 can do a wheelie. Then I did it alone.

When I was dating short girls I had no problem with them on the back of the bike. But then I dated a girl who was the same height as me 6'2. It was completely different with her on there and she affected the steering so much more.

Riding with a passenger on a 250 is doable but I don't really like it. It takes all the fun away from riding.
