Hey Pete... can ya help me out w/ some quick advice for riding two up


seems when i'm riding two up at very slow speeds the front wheel tends to wobble back & forth a good amount especially in a slow speed turn... it's not exacly confidence inspiring when you've got a cute chick on the back. I'm goin off in a few hours for a two-up ride & wondered if there's any quick adjustments i could make to help smooth it out.

thanks for the help

(and hey, how ya feelin? healin up quick?)

worked out good, bro. thanks for confirming my suspisions both the ride & the date went rather well.

Before i picked her up i was out there hammering away at that skrewdriver & i heard some "cool kid" revving his bike. i figured it was just some dumbass out on the street tryin to show off, but it ended up being a dude a few houses down from me workin on his '05 F4i. he had a spanner wrench i was able to borrow & we hung out & shot the shit about bikes for about 2 hours

really nice kid, i gave him the website addie & hopefully he'll sign up. he seemed pretty damn interested in NESR & doing trackdays once he gests some more street experience
