I hate having a passenger. This is a problem b/c my wife enjoys riding. Ask Gas Man what happened while he was here for 4 days.

Yep... so what Marko should have just said...

If you want to ride like this?

But have a wifey that wants to ride.

Get a buddy like this fool on the right to carry your wife around.

As shown in this pic... back right

Yup. I have my own 750...Kerry got one cause he wanted to be just like me.

But I do like a good 2-up ride, especially on this bike. We rode it 600+ miles in one day from NC to PA.

I love those wheels on Kerry's GSXR

I only brace on the tank if he's braking or accel. hard. I also tend to use my knees a little bit to hold on as well. Doesn't bother Leon at all.

I don't ride on the back very often, I have control issues....

You sound like my wife with the control issues, it only took a handful of rides before she decided she needed her own bike

Love Buell looks but the front is just ugly. I can see yamaha copied it for their new bikes.

The Sprint give me wood.

I also just brace the tank for braking and accelerated, I pretty much know when either is happening, other than that i loosely hold on with one hand around the waist/hip.

Using your core muscles help with not putting all the pressure on the hands.
