retired_rebel Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I copied this from her online blog: I have clung onto Clif for about 600 miles now, and I want to passalong what I have learned so far...Today, we left the house at 4:30..rode about 50 miles, then stopped to get a soda. I hope we neverstop at that store again... I swear I heard banjo picking when westopped the bike... *flash to Deliverance Scene* The clerk had on anapron... a blood stained apron.. Just what do they do at thesepodunk "Carry Outs"????? We bought our sodas, chugged them in theparking lot and rode our happy hineys outta there... **shudder*Anyway, We rode about another 20 miles then Clif got us on theHighway to come home. Here are some things I have learned aboutbeing a good passenger since we bought the bike:1. Don't lean... I have a habit of leaning the opposite of the waythe bike is leaning.. I thought I was being helpful so the bikewouldn't tip over2. Lady bugs HURT when they hit you in the face at 60 mph...3. Don't wiggle around when on loose gravel...4. Zip up the leather jacket before getting on behind the driver...its not easy to do at 60 mph.5. Always go potty before leaving the house and try to go potty atevery stop...6. Never tell the driver that you have to pee... He will hit everybump in the road he can find... guess he wouldn't if I just... umnevermind...7. Always have a helmet that actually fits your head... If thehelmet is too big, all the air that is hitting you in the face goesup your forehead and into the helmet making it feel like one of thoseparachutes the race cars throw out the rear to slow down... Only itsnot slowing down the bike, just trying to rip your head off.8. Always wear sunglasses. My bangs kept hitting me in the eyesmaking me have to ride down the road with them shut...9. Always ask the driver to empty his mouth of chewing tobaccobefore you start riding... spit stains on pant legs DOES NOT come out.10. Don't look at your shadow and see some funny thing hovering overyour head and panic because you think its a bug... its only theradio antenna...11. Relax and Enjoy the ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!I no longer bury my head in the middle of Clif's back and I haveloosened my death grip on his jacket to just a light "Remember I amback here and will panic easy if you screw around" touch on hissides... **Pats self on the back** Now I just hafta learn a gracefulway of getting on and off the bike... If you see us.. don't watchme!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruelHouse Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 @ leaning the opposite way of the bike so it doesn't tip over.....You laugh, but I actually had someone do that to me once. Kinda scary when approaching a corner and the bike keeps trying to track "straight":eek:Needless to say, a hearty lecture ensued... Waste of time as it was her last ride with me anyway.

Waste of time as it was her last ride with me anyway.yea I loud and clear tell them to just relax and not lean.preaching to anyone.@ the helmet comment, not only does having the wrong size helmet cause a parachute affect, wearing the wrong size helmet can increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident. heres a interesting video if you don't know much about helmet sizeshttp://lcchoppers.com/2009/03/are-you-wearing-the-correct-he.htmland btw i'm 99% sure I'm wearing the wrong size helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman88210 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Haha. Good stuff! I have had many passengers do the opposite lean thing. Its kinda funny, most women who arent familiar with bikes will do this. Its like instinct or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
