after reading this - http://www.msgroup.org/TIP160.html - i went down to my old HS parkin lot & rode w/ a passenger for the first time.... unfortunatly i started w/ the "FINAL EXAM".... my 200lb dad yes i know... not the best idea, but i could tell he was itchin for a ride & he was all i had to work w/.
I rode down, he drove. lemme tell you... i suppose i did just fine, but that was interesting.
we got there, he hopped on & we started slow.... "slow" as in "0mph" just kinda sat there for a few seconds feeling the bike beneath me. then started simple... start moving, go in a straight line till i can't go straight anymore, then make a wide turn to point myself in the other direction & come to a stop. Did that, both left & right, a number of times. Then i started making turns straight from a stop. that was the only really hard part, but i handled it ok.
Pretty uneventfull... stalled once, & only once did i have any fear that i was close to dropping the bike.
sorry for the boring post, but i just thought i'd share & see if anyone had some other tips for me. if you want a post that's a little more eventfull look at the other thread i made today
