Default riding high

If have 18" apes or bigger..., and your arms are feeling stretched... do what I do. Stand up and stretch them out a little. Hahaha feels amazing, just careful the passenger pegs have been reinforced. Wouldnt want to fall on your b@lls at 70mph

Holy schmolly, I cant imagine standing up on mine! How's the wobble on the way up? Seems like mine can get squirly pretty easily, not sure I wanna chance it. I bet it feels great though, minus being blown away by the wind...

Hahaha it doesnt wobble too much. But you gotta watch the throttle pretty closely! What I do is push back and get my bum on the top of the seat.. then it's just one foot at a time. Probably wouldnt recommend doing it on turns.. but it's up to you.

Mate, I'm just young and dumb. Thanks god I ride a H-D now though. When I used to be on the crotch rockets I was an absolute idiot. Now I'm pretty tame. No more risking myself, or putting anyone else in danger.
