I've had a couple who just liked to ride "wrapped" as in pic. 1. even though my bike had footpegs.
Works for me.

 

Wouldn't dare? They don't make a fender that would hold some of the chicks I see on the back of Harleys these days.

 

I have. Holding a case of beer.

 

Never heard it called anything, but I can tell you not all that comfortable for the rider. Gets old after about 15 minutes, feels like half of her weight is on you, no good for long distance riding. That said, either of the girls in the above pictures are more then welcome to try out the rear fender of my Flathead.

 

With no pegs the passenger pile drives each bump into her rear end and spine - look at that chick in pic 1. "'Whimper whimper' I wanna go home I cant take this anymore, its killing my _ss..." - yeah I've heard that before lol.

Rigids require constant attention - you have to pull yourself up off of bumps or you'll get creamed. A passenger cant do that - they are at the mercy of kinetics. My last rigid pan was circa '95. One day I was tooling along, looking at scenery, maybe 45 mph, and simply rolled over a sort of narrow dip in the pavement, like where an underneath cable or something settled, without paying attention. I'm telling you that surprise unprepared jolt hit me like a pile driver, and I felt that "uh-oh" pinched-nerve/spine sharp lower back pain so intense I had to pull over. I also bit my tongue when I hit it. I had to sorta stretch out on the side of the road and smoke a cigarette to get my __it together. My perspective of a passenger.

I just cant ride rigids without sprung seats anymore, sorry too old.

 

I watched a buddy of mine make a beer run with a gal ridin the fender carrying a case of longnecks, dropped the entire case in the street right in front of the house. Happened more than once.

 

Me too, God bless em

 

I've often wondered why today's biker chicks don't look like the ones in the 70's, then I realized why, it's the same chicks!

 

Local tavern I've frequated semi regular for the last 30 odd years, popped in for cold one recently after not visiting for a few years and was thinking damn the women all look old in here then remembering I had probably banged half of them back when. Going to be long while before I go back again.....

 

Those were the days back when sex was safe and motorcycles were dangerous.
