Heheh. Notice a pattern? I was thinking about this today when Mr. GearChic and I had to go downtown (5 miles) to pick up his other bike (which he's supposed to be selling soon). Rather than ride bitch, ok 2up for those of you who don't like that word, on his new (to him, a 1991 Suzuki VX800)bike, or 2up on mine, I drove Buster, our Scion XB instead.
For one thing, mine is horrible for 2up. The factory seat is flat and painful over the bumps. It was not meant to carry a passenger comfortably. I feel totally helpless on my own backseat. Holding onto him is fine, but I still feel like I'm going to fall off. And, it's no fun to ride on the backseat of MY bike! We've only done this a few times, but after the last time, I vowed never to do it again. My ass was numb after a few miles and it was sooooo bloody uncomfortable. I felt like my knees were up to my chin and all I could do was watch traffic go by as I sat on the back, helpless and b*tch-like.
I don't understand how girls are able to sit on the back of an R6 or 600RR or anything more aggressive than my z750. You have to sit so high, your ass is practically higher than your head.
How is that fun?
Remember that riding up front is a completely different experience than riding on the back. If you're unsure about learning to ride, just do it. I can *almost* guarantee you'll love it and you'll never go back to riding 'bitch again.
