re need advice for riding with someone on pillion rwert well sf ca us bob wert writes are there traditional signals for slow down or go faster or i hafta go pee etc my experience is when they pound their fists on your back it means slow down seriously concentrate on being very smooth and you will make her experience much more enjoyable even a normal upshift causes your passenger to bob so i ease off the throttle before pulling in the clutch to eliminate this it s more work but your passenger will appreciate it also i ve found that using more rear brake than normal helps keep the bike from diving as much during routine stops which makes it much easier for the passenger to hang on if you re going sport riding have the passenger reach around you and brace themselves against the tank so you don t have to bear both your weights with your arms again your bike will dive less too paul thompson apple computer
