Yeah same here. I did put passenger pegs on my SB and 2up seat, but I always ride alone. The 2up seat tends to be a little more comfortable for longer rides and keeps you in the seat better on hard accel. It also keeps the backpack I strap to my sissy bar from scratching the fender.
I like having the option just in case though, but no dudes lol.

My bike is set up for two up because that is how the preacher I bought it from had it set up. I left it that way because it allows me to carry more stuff if I need to without damaging anything.
I always ride solo. Not only that, but I never ride in a group or anything. I am a loner and the older I get, the more I am that way.

my ex and I rode around together all the time. On weekends, we never took a car. Even when we had the dog. She would be in back, then me with the pup strapped in a harness on my chest.
Ahortly after we we broke up, I got in an accident, completely the other persons fault.
After the wreck, I realized that I didn't want to have someone else's life in my hands like that, especially when you can go down, at no fault of your own.
noe I still have a 2up seat, but no passenger pegs. The two up is only for looks and to set my sissy bar bag on, without scratching my paint.

My husband is the same he doesn't want me on the back of his bike he doesn't want to put my life in his hands. We seen so many girls killed because of a douche bag rider boyfriend showing off and he doesn't want to do that to me and he doesn't want to be a douche bag.
I think she was being subtle
i too ride my own bike ...

You can be careful and still get your passenger killed. Deer, left hand turner, distracted driver.
So they might not want a rider because they're selfish. But maybe they're exceptionally thoughtful and considerate.
Why is your saddle solo?

...and ironically, you'll get just as many directions. "Turn right; no, the other right. Recalculating!"
