Agree!

 

Yeah, some people are just born to ride. I've ridden a few passengers on my bike in the past and I find that some struggle with the concept of staying neutral and the whole balance thing. Then there are others who just hop on for the very first time and they're like some kind of professional. One day after work, a co-worker asked to go for a ride on the back of my '03 Ultra. She's very nice, petite and kind of cute....I just couldn't resist. We went for a short ride 15..20 minutes tops, but it was great! I told her she could ride with me anytime. The best part was when she got on and got off the bike. Perfectly balanced and didn't pull me and the bike down. She claims it's because she used to be a dancer (ballet). Whichever the case, she sure knew how to ride and this sparked her interest to buy a Sportster and take the MSF course.

 

Yep, exact same feeling. I was a little apprehensive about taking her out since she'd never ridden before, but she was a pro. I think similar to your co-worker's dancing abilities, my neice is quite an athlete and has great balance which helped considerably. I originally planned to take her out for about 20 minutes, but we were gone for 45 and I think she'd have been happy to stay on for another 45, if not longer.

 

Yes having a good passenger is the best. That is cool though your neice was that good at a young age.
