My ex-husband and I had a great marriage for the first half and a troubled marriage for the last half. But one thing remained consistent throughout. I rode pillion for many years behind him, and I trusted him completely. Riding behind him on his Gold Wing (the Highway Easy Chair) is among my best memories.

First thing I tell any passenger. Don’t help me, don’t counter lean, don’t make sudden weight shifts when we’re going slow. If you adjust your weight back there when we’re going slow, you’ll cause us to veer and possibly crash.

[@yodomcat]

Thanks for this updated video. I watched your original before taking my son on the back (he's 9), just his little weight alone made such a difference and I was glad to have watched your video to explain to him what he needed to do. He did great and loved it! Thanks again.

[@evertdevries8814]

Great advice and lovely control. Back when I rode often in the 1980's and 90's our bike seats were generally a lot flatter front to rear, not stepped up as much at the rear like they are nowadays and I think this makes the job of the pillion rider more difficult today than back then. What I used to tell them was to squish up fairly close, my back needs to feel their tummy being pushed into me and those little pebbles, but with their hips tilted down so that the bum tilted slightly up to the rear - just stuck back up a bit. Next was to preferably ignore the grabrail (that's for strapping luggage down). Rather, they should put their arms around me under mine and gently clasp hands down and to the front of me or better still, rest them lightly on the rear of the tank. Then, to relax and be loose, the more they're like a sack of potatoes the better, yet be aware of where they're going to, in other words look over the driver/rider's shoulder to the inside of the bend, not to the outside of it. People who followed that last where-to-look advice were great passengers and became naturals. Your first passenger in the clip was doing exactly that kind of looking. My best such pillion could handle a peg scrape to the left and de-skinning the 4 into 1 exhaust on the right.

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Great video 👍. I've had plenty of different pillions over the years and everything this guy says is bang on right. Love the drills he's showing and complete control even with that extra weight on the bike. Hats off to the pillions for not freaking out but having complete trust in the riders ability. Always increase braking distances and remember you are responsible for the pillions safety.

[@mattm9087]

My brother almost got in an accident with a bad passenger. As soon as they hit the highway she panicked. I guess screaming loudly and squeezing him ridiculously hard. He went to take the nearest exit and she leaned the opposite way of the bike and held onto him so tight it was not letting him steer the bike well. Almost went wide into the guardrail but lucky was able to hold it together. He's never taken a passenger again lol.

[@MotoJitsu]

Sheesh

[@mattm9087]

@@MotoJitsu yeah scary stuff lol. Love ur videos man. Keep up the good work!

[@PlaySA]

The biggest issue is 'countersteering', or when the passenger leans towards the opposite side in a turn, just as a natural impulse. Also, I have a little belt thing that can be used to attach the passenger to me. It doesn't actually help with anything, but it makes them feel safer.

[@JosephMullin]

The passemger has more control as to where the bike is going. Tell the passenger to stay with you not to lean opposite of you. This is especially important in a turn. I had a gf make the bike go straight in a right hand curve and put us into oncoming traffic. Lucky I have riden a number of years and got us back into the correct lane.

[@consorciasantiago4009]

Interesting.I was a beginner rider.I had a passenger who does not ride MC.On a 3/4 turn I lost control and swerved to a fall.I asked her what she was trying to do while we were leaning.Of course I have no idea.But with a heavier passenger who rides a MC I have no problem balancing.Your video helped me to better understand that.That was 7 years ago and I have been so wary riding with a passenger.We make a contract.Donot move and stay close so we are 1 unit when making a turn.That helped.

[@jimboinvt]

Another technique I’ve read about is to ask your passenger to be your backpack. Stay with the rider, always. I’ve done it that way and it works well but I do think Greg’s technique is better. Can’t wait to try!

[@MotoJitsu]

love this informative clip. It is definitely a good refresh course. Greg, I learned a lot from you in the past 2 years, watching and practicing for hours...

[@matteoposi9583]

I actually prefair my passenger to move with me. Like not anticipate my movement and suddently leaning (as you said, thats the worse), but like just hold onto me and follow me as if we’re one. I had full neutral “rock” passangers and follow me passenger, and i’ll take them every day.

[@CaptainSteve777]

Generally good advice, but telling a newbie passenger, "don't move" is going to put fear in them and reduce their enjoyment. Better to explain to them that less movement is better, but they can't do anything that you/I can't manage. If you can't deal with their movement, you need to be better. (50 years safe riding talking)

[@TBT13977]

Oh man. I always thought it was 39 times more dangerous not 38

[@mad9111984]

I suggest to take an other licensed rider as a passenger for the first time.

[@n40798]

2:19 Exactly! Before you are ready to take a passenger you actually care about, you must first practice with someone whom you wouldn't mind too much if they got injured, like your ex-girlfriend, a telemarketer, or your mother in-law

[@MotoJitsu]

ha!

[@abdullahahmedabdullahahmed7385]

bro I used to ride a 200cc motorbike and three of my friends as passengers behind me (*_*).I was literally riding while sitting on the gas tank. the question is how to convince them to stay calm while they are having a serious conversation on a motorbike and no one of us wears helmets or safety gear.

[@zefautino]

If the wife/girlfriend/FWB refuses to listen to what you say, DON'T ALLOW HER TO RIDE WITH YOU. I did that mistake, she almost took me to the ground. She would get her weight on one side of the bike, not grab on to me, i had to constantly give her sign to grab me, would jump on the bike without warning, would get up on the seat randomly... And worse of all, when told she did something wrong she would fight back! A stupid passenger is the most dangerous cargo you can carry.

[@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...]

I've had so many passenger's that turn opposite of me in a turn so they can see, or think it's helping the bike stick lol. I rarely take a passenger anymore unless the bike has a backrest, or bars for them to grab, that tends to be a huge difference in how they act back there.

[@Q_N-]

Back when I first turned 17, I got my riders permit. I swear from the day I learned how to ride, to now. The one thing that’s always been my peeve is the way people hold onto me. I don’t care if you’re a dude or a chick. DONT HOLD ONTO A RIDERS SHOULDER. I almost died once when I was 19. I gave a chick friend a ride home from college. During an acceleration from a red light, she freaked out and grabbed my shoulders instead of my waist. We both almost got ran over by a truck making a right turn after falling over. 🤦‍♂️

[@MotoJitsu]

it's the rider's responsibility to tell the passenger what to do or not to do...if they're not able or unwilling to do that, don't take them, which is also the rider's choice.

[@Q_N-]

That’s kind of what I meant in my comment lol. I was 19, and didn’t know that the chick would grab my shoulder. What I’m saying here is, if a person freaks out on a rider, just don’t grab the shoulders. 🤷‍♂️

Great video and good skills. I’ve been riding over 50 years and personally I prefer my passenger to hold on to me rather than the bike. Having been a pillion on sports bikes, I find many lack the strength to fully hold on during mass acceleration, especially during sudden acceleration. Top box excluded of course. Otherwise awesome video and really liked the woman pillion section with her perspective.

I've had passengers lean the opposite way. Holy shit. One time I had to stop immediately and give her some very stringent instruction. We were way cool after that. She even leaned back and wrapped her legs around me. The dead weight was great and easy to ride. She got on and off straight up without pulling me off the bike. Just give your passenger some instruction and the ride will be great.

I downloaded your app and used it to keep myself on track with my skills for riding. During riding season, (I live in Utah, so there's an off-season) I went from having 100 miles under my belt (first year) with no ability for slow-speed maneuvering to 8000 miles and being able to get level 2 parking spaces. My issue is that I haven't practiced enough for getting my knee down. And I know, don't focus on one thing. That's just the first goal that comes to mind. I'm upgrading from my cb500x (first bike) to an R6, R1, ZX6R, or ZX10R. Haven't decided yet. I feel confident enough to jump to a 600 or 1000. So, once the season starts, I'm going to ride my cb500x for a little bit and freshen up my skills, then purchase my next bike and see what slow-speed maneuvering I can get down on there. I love my 500, but I'd rather not be limited with power. It's not that I want to sit at 16k rpms all the time, but rather, I want the ability to get myself out of a situation where a car is trying to run me over for lane filtering (that has happened) or anything else that might happen. Also, don't worry, I wear full gear even in hot weather. I'd rather be as safe as I can be, rather than riding squid. Anyways, sorry for the long comment. Just wanted you to know that you've inspired and helped another fellow rider.

Fun isn't it!! I would look into an upright bike like a Street Triple..full blow sport bikes with clip ons are the absolute worse bikes for street riding...most uncomfortable and impractical.

The Hardest thing with a passenger for me is Braking, braking distance is alot farther since i dont want them getting thrown into me, as soon as they start sliding into me, i know im braking too fast 😆 Passenger comfort is priority, otherwise they wont want to ride with you or anyone again 😆 preload on the rear shocks is super important too 😀

[@MotoJitsu]

They're going to do that under heavy braking no matter what, better to teach them how to anticipate and brace themselves.

[@DefZen343]

@@MotoJitsu True, thats unavoidable when the need to stop immediately arises, i just meant for cruising around 😀 smoother shifts, smoother stops and gradual acceleration lets my passengers enjoy the ride alot more 😸

that's just your hands being too fast and abrupt.

[@HeathBlythe]

I was lucky to have some common sense and basic understanding of physics on my first pillion ride. I had never rode a bike, never rode with someone, or ever thought of riding one. My first time was maybe 3 months ago, I was shooting a marathon and we had the local MC providing transportation around the track. Unfortunately, the rider I was put on with, didn't give me any instructions, just told me to grab tight and go with the flow. That's what I did, facing the rear and shooting with both hands. Kind of extreme, I must say. After that, I grew a thing for bikes and here I am now. Thanks Eddie, for all your videos and for the time you use up making them.

[@NINJUTSUguy]

All great advice! but I would like to add a few things, and they are depending non your muffler system or setup, and that being a very hot point that can cause serious burns mainly to the passenger's calf area while getting off and on the bike, I use a Titanium aftermarket muffler which will not cause a serious burn even after hard riding. and on my older model bikes, both the rider and passenger were seated at the same level and this made carrying a passenger fairly easy with them close to the rider's body making hanging on easy and the tank was used by them when the rider was braking if needed, but due to how most motorcycles are manufactured these days the rear passenger seat is set back and way higher so if your pillion does lean or move aggressively it is very noticeable and can have a large effect on the bike ( a large male comes to mind who is drunk).another point is if your passenger is getting thrown backward and forwards constantly and even causing helmets the bump! then it is probably due to your gear shifting, acceleration, and braking not being smooth or poorly synchronized, many riders are unaware of this fact probably due to them having handlebars to hang on to or never being a passenger when a super smooth rider is in control because the difference huge even when the bike is been ridden hard and fast or in heavy traffic! Another point would be to never ride anywhere near your limits like you might do while riding solo! the last point is as a passenger choose very carefully who you get on the back with as it can easily be a matter of life and death as motorcycle riders come in many different degrees of riding ability from the showoff the inexperienced the high-risk taker and the downright dangerous and the highly skilled very safe rider and everything in between, and this should become apparent after a very short time as a passenger so get ask them to please stop so you can get off the bike if need be because you feel the rider is dangerous, etc! as this won't happen if the rider is experienced and takes safety first!

[@kvernesdotten]

What I usually tell passengers who havent been on a motocycle before is to just sit, try not to move more than you have to, that im never riding fast enough that a shift in weight from a passenger could take control from me anyway, but try not to make any jerky movements. Then i tell them to pretend they have a glass of water on their head. Just because keeping your head level while the bike is leaning over makes it alot less scary feeling, and a comfortable passenger is a world of difference from a scared and stiff one. Assurance is really important Other than that I prepare myself that the passenger will want to look over my shoulder and look around generally (i mean its exciting to them right), and that is probably going to make turning one way or another a bit heavier than usual. Usually I change the suspension settings a bit, not because of handling but because it causes my lights to hit cars straight in the face. Oh and I usually go over the "bear hug" thing where if we need to break you place one hand on the tank so I dont get hit by the full weight of my passenger. Great video though, agree with everything here :D
