Crash test dummies?
Maybe a bad name for it but I'm wanting to see how a passenger feels behind me. ('07 RK Classic)So what do ya do, strap a couple of bags of concrete mix behind you and tell it you love it and to hang on?

I usually ask an attractive female if she would like to go for a ride. Its not rocket science

RE: Crash test dummies?
head over to your local "good" part of town and pick up the local knappy headed ho
. But really, the only way is to get a live dummy, hey, wait I know plenty of those. Real passenger wiggle/wobble a little bit, mostly when stopped and it can catch ya off guard if not careful.

Snort - Here's how I got my wife to try two up.
"Honey, why don't you follow me to a nice open parking lot in your car. You can see how safe I ride on the way there, and when we get there, we'll try two up in a controlled environment."
We went to a high school parking lot on the weekend. She hopped on, we went around the lot twice while I made a couple U-turns, tight turns and went over a speed bump or two to test the shocks. She got used to her helmet and talking (yelling) back and forth with it on, I got used to the extra weight. I asked her to wiggle a little so I could see how it felt. After all that, shefelt courageous enough to hit the road and we took off on some slower roads. All of 15 mintues or less before she was comfortable.
Once you hit the road, the slight weight difference may change the way your up/down shifts feel, so be careful not to yank her around too much. Enjoy!

RE: Crash test dummies?
I just started out with two up. Now it is tough to get her off.. Opps did I say that.. I hope she is not looking.. I might be one up for a while... Really she has a nasty habit of moving when she should not and I have put the movable foot pegs on and it is always in the way when I try to turn. Try to stick a knee under your armpit and make a sharp turn.. But I am getting better at it..
