Riding Two-Up


Over the past couple of weeks I have been purchasing riding gear for Megan. My goal is to get her riding two-up with me this summer because I would like to do some longer trips on the motorcycle. I think it would also be good for us to utilize it more so we don't have to use her car all of the time for our day rides up to the parents for holidays. She has a jacket and riding pants on order, but her helmet arrived so I convinced her to put on my extra pair of pants and jacket to get on the back of the motorcycle yesterday to see how things would go. 

Overall everything went better than expected. Megan handled riding on the back very well. I would even go as far to say she enjoyed it. I had to make some minor adjustments to my riding style since the center of gravity on the bike changed, but overall it was not difficult to ride two-up. I think the whole process here will be a successful one and I am looking forward to a trip or two later this summer.
