You just don't know what to do with 'em.[sm=americanasmiley.gif]
Surewe do, it's just that it's coldup here...............so it takes us longer to do it (you try working your way through 2 parkas and 3 pairs of longjohns)

Make sure you are comfortable with the bike before you take a passanger.
Then ride it like you stole it [sm=lildevil.gif]

I think you are getting bad advice here. I would ride solo for at least 500 miles or so. Dealers have always told me not to ride 2 up during breakin process and to not lug it.

What difference does it make if the rider is 300# solo or 175# and his wife 125# 2 up? The bike is not a delicate instrument, it's a work horse. I rode my sporty 2 up to my dealer to look around one day and rode home 3 hrs later on a 'lectra Glide Classic....2 up. What was I gonna do leave her there? I don't beat my wife, my scoot or my truck but I only baby one of them, and she's been my best friend since we were 6 yrs old.
