Riding 2-Up Is A HUGE Responsibility!!! Should You Really Be Doing It? Watch This Video!!!!

[@jsmooth7048]

Hadn't rode for 10 years and that was a crotch rocket. When I purchased my 2020 SGS last year, I told my wife exactly that. I told her it was a much heavier bike and to let me get more comfortable with it before I put her on it!! No shame in my game.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Exactly!! Damn shame! You’re job is to take care of your Queen and that’s exactly what you did!👍🏾

[@brianluck84]

I'm in the exact same boat. Sports bikes prior with 10 years off the bike.

[@trukngal]

I know, the getting used to my 1800 vtx, that's what I had to tell people, just going to have to wait

[@davidharraway504]

Did the exact same talk with my queen. Better safe than sorry.

[@Matt216321]

@jsmooth7048 same exact situation here. Had a zx6r and hadn't rode in about 10 years. Jumped out there and bought a Road Glide Special recently. Love it but definitely way heavier and still getting used to it. Stay safe out there!

I'm late to the game, but I'm glad to be here now. Fantastic Video Robert! I sent this to my girl while I'm on the clock. She is brand new to bikes and riding & riding two up and she loves it. I just recently made the transition from Super Sport to RGS bagger. I was the boss on my Super Sport and felt comfortable, confident, in control and consistent. When she showed an interest and the excitement of going on a ride I was happy to share my passion with her. So we started off nice and easy around our block and a near by parking lot with her on the back. Till she and I both got a feel and clear communication. Now with the bagger she is sooo ready to ride, but I had to drag the brake till I've had more practice time in the saddle. So this video and your content was found at the perfect time. Keep paying it forward Brother. Each one teach one. To bad we're in So. Cal and so far out to get some practice in with Y'all.

I have searched for this video for some time. Been riding about 9 years, and just upgraded from a 2003 Vstar Classic 1100 to a 2013 Street Glide. I'm in LOVE. I also wanted to start getting my wife out on rides, but I'm the type of guy that likes to research everything. But now this video has certainly helped add some comfort to this process. My wife eventually will be riding her own bike, but in the meantime I want to get her some wind therapy, too! Thanks for all the videos, Robert. You're a huge asset to all of us riders that look to KZbin for advice! Cheers from Canada!

Thanks for the videos, 10 years ago I lost my left leg in a motorcycle wreck that was unavoidable with a car passing another car on a hill and zero room for me to maneuver without going off a embankment. That much said I have difficulty holding the left side when I’m 2 up but I’m smooth enough with the right foot to raise at the same time as my left when the bike moves. And refuse to go 2 up on windy days that could put the wind blowing me to the left. In time I’m sure I can strengthen the left leg enough to easily hold 2 up against the wind. Before the accident I rode 20 years no incidents but now realize I was only skilled at curves and straight roads, not slow speed and u turns. Your videos are a great help on areas I need to work on.

Kudos to you for knowing your limits and for employing common sense when riding two up. And I’m also sorry for the loss of your leg. Good luck to you and I hope your skills improve to match your concern for the safety of your passenger.

[@jiripastrnak1936]

I finally took my wife for a ride today about 40 miles in town and interstate too... after almost 2 yrs of building up my confidence and skills . It went better then I actually thought. The main thing i told her is don't fidget and move around at slow speeds and in slow turns to throw me off balance . And it went well... super glad, and my wife loved it too. Still have lot to learn and riding 2 up is definitely whole another ball game but thank you for your teachings ...

I watch all of your videos, but for the very first time today I watched this video with earbuds on. Wow, what a difference the earbuds made! At 64, I think most of us have some level of hearing loss and with the earbuds on it really came through loud and clear what preload and keep it loaded means. I clearly heard each and every RPM from your bike on each and every exercise. I truly don’t see how you find all the time to teach all the classes, edited the videos and transcribe the audio but all I can do is say thank you!!!

Great Video Thanks. I have been riding motorcycles for over 45 years now I got a ultra limited back in 2019 a real game changer for me I had to watch you and other people on here mostly motor cops to understand what I was doing wrong. My biggest problem was dropping the bike with my wife on the back when I came to a stop because I did not understand about staying off the front brake and keeping the bike straight I had a lot of bad habitats to overcome. My 1986 Harley Softail which I have rode since 1990 is like riding a dirt bike compared to what I have now.

Awesome lecture, Rob... Just a reminder note from me to your crew, et al..... The Physio- Psychological reason for the passenger "looking" in the same direction that you are when doing these maneuvers, is so they don't get dizzy and throw the bike off balance..... If the passenger is off balance, aka motion sickness, you will have issues..... Stay Safe

Hi Robert! I just subscribed to your channel. Used to ride 25 years ago, before kids lol....just got "gifted" another motorcycle. I used to have a Honda Silverwing 650, which I was quite competent on, however, new bike is a 2000 Yamaha Road Star 1600. HUGE difference! So I'm watching vids and practicing when I can. I've taken it out on a couple short rides, even in town, and was ok, if a little wobbly/wide in my turns! A lot heavier bike than I had, but my last ride to town, my turns were better and my confidence was a bit higher. I have a small parking lot near me I'm going to ask permission to use to practice my slow maneuvers. Thanks for the great videos, I'll keep watching!

As a new guy I didn't touch the ground at walking speed through thousands of folks some darting to cross in front for a distance of over 1/4 mile. My u-turns were tight at around 19 feet and impeccable. I didn't have Mary on yet, but more practice and i feel comfortable enough that I will trust my slow sleep operation 100% no Duck Walk with her, no problem.

Thank you again Robert (and Anita of course) for providing us with great content once again! I often get passengers that want to counter when going into a turn because the lean is uncomfortable even after giving instructions on the bike turns by leaning.

[@nunyabidness9895]

25:34 (Just adding this as a bookmark for myself.) This is what I'm working on and I was doing the exercise with handlebars all the way turned and locked before moving which I believe added to my sense of the drama that ensued. It's one thing to keep it loaded....it's another thing to find yourself barely hanging on to the bike with your throttle hand as the bike announces your failure with a throaty roar while it tries to nosedive because it caught you eyeballing your cones. (BTW, I don't yet practise 2 up, and won't until things become less dramatic.) I think I might owe you some 4 count pushups as well.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Awesome and responsible!!👍🏾 Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!!

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

Riding two up is the highest responsibility a rider can have. Sometimes I have a problem getting my Queen to understand this. I do everything in my power to know my bike and be safe. Before I’d even take her anywhere I made sure she was fully equipped with full gear. Anyway.. there are some basic things the passenger needs to do as well. It’s a team effort to come back home safe. It’s my responsibility to be the boss of my motorcycle and to educate my missus on how to ride safely in the back. She always wants to start adjusting herself when we are creeping to a stop or lean over to talk to me when we are under 10mph. Preloading pulling to a stop saved me from A dump in one of those situations. She leaned way to the side when we were prolly at 5mph and if I didn’t have some power on tap and pulled against the rear brake .. we woulda gone over. Ppl should NEVER taking having a passenger lightly. They have NO control over what’s going on (well except for passenger responsibilities)

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Well said Gerald!

[@funhumanusa]

I had to come back and find this video. Put the GF on the bike for the first time this season and almost went down slow turning-rolling into a parking space. Stopped with bars almost full lock left. Robert thank goodness I am in the gym daily!! For a split second I thought OK it's going down and then realized my GF would go with it. Took everything I had but I kept that monster up (She has no idea). I put a Brake tech brake pedal on, lowers the stock pedal. I think you might like it but 2-up riding, it is a different balance when stopping. The pedal angle is pressing straight down rather than pivoting your heal on the floorboard. Thanks for the instruction.

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Yes that brake pedal is definitely something I need to get for Violet. As far as your session with your girlfriend, make sure you’re comfortable and smooth on your starts and stops and turns by yourself first. If you are, whatever techniques you’re applying are still relevant with your girlfriend on the back, just as it would be with a bunch of luggage. Preload!!! And Keep It Loaded!!!! © 👍🏾

Hi Robert from Australia. After riding a Royal Enfield most of my life, I finally bought my dream bike- an Indian chieftain. Was very much intimidated by the weight of the bike, But by using your preloaded method, have gained a lot of confidence and control especially during turns. Still at level ZERO though. Thanks for your videos!

Hi Robert, Excellent video and instruction. If you have to raise your foot off the floorboard, you should consider an extended brake pedal. I'm 6'3" and it's a must have option if you're tall. I even have a Mustang seat that sits me back 1.75". Softbrake is a very good brand. I have their +3" extended brake lever. Check it out..... some of your students may find it helps with your slow riding techniques. Always good to see the Queen!!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Thanks Jim! Yes Shane and Jason told me about Softbrake. I have to get it!

[@mikecozad9551]

6'9" here and I had the extended brake lever installed - made a huge difference. I bought their extended shift lever as well. Great products. Robert thank you for paying it forward. I hope you are receiving more than you are giving, that's usually how it works. :)

I don't foresee myself ever having a pillion passenger, but I haven't even bought my first motorcycle yet. I have my eye on a Yamaha R3, that's at a dealership really close to home. So far, I've only actually ridden a Honda Trail 70 mini bike, way back in like 2000, and a Yamaha TW 200 this past weekend at the basic motorcycle course. I only weigh about 120 lb, and I've been doing cardio and lifting weights every day since about this past September. That's why I'm hoping an R3 will be powerful enough for my first bike, but also it will be difficult to even find a potential pillion passenger that weighs less than I do, and that would shift the center of gravity for sure. I'm just hoping to get myself a motorcycle in the near future, and to get myself some better safety gear, like motorcycle boots and a protective upper body item, and protective lower body item too. I'm going to start out just driving the motorcycle around the neighborhood, and then to a parking lot where I can practice U turns and other maneuvers, and then gradually go farther, until I can ride my motorcycle to work, and show it to my coworkers. I've been really depressed this past year. It's coming up on the anniversary of my dad's death, and I'm still so sad about that and also my fiance leaving me a couple weeks later, and then I got fired from my job I'd had for almost five years the next week. I was really tempted to relapse on fentanyl; there were times that I wanted to get high so bad, but I believe that my dad would be proud that I've been clean from hard drugs for 4 years and 7 months today. The last time I shot up was December 17, 2018, and I overdosed and almost died. The main thing that helped me was that I started working out and lifting weights. I was hoping that riding a motorcycle would help cheer me up and to finally move on from my ex. Just riding the motorcycle at the class this past weekend was amazing, and I can't wait to do it again, so now I just have to buy my own motorcycle. I'm sorry for the super long comment. Like I said, it's coming up on the first anniversary of my dad's death, and I'm still so messed up about it. I still break down crying every single day. I still have trouble sleeping most of the time, and barely have any appetite. Getting into working out just let me use my ability to get lean to my advantage, but I just haven't had an appetite in a long time, and I just don't really have the enthusiasm. Plus, my teeth are pretty messed up from my time as an active junkie, so it's literally difficult for me to chew. Anyway, I'm just excited about having a new hobby, and it's nice to be excited about anything. All that shit happening at once last summer just broke me. I guess time heals all wounds.
