Guys; would you ride 2up with another dude? - Page 2

The bottom line is my bike handles way way differently with a passenger. My Zuk wasn't bad with someone on the back. The Buell not so much. Single ride jones for me.

I think it's ok for a guy to have another guy on the back if that guy is your son or little brother but otherwise it's pretty homo.

This is true, I'll make an exception for my son to ride on the back of course but Im glad Im not alone on that one about taking other guys..LOL cuz it's just not happening for me. My wife called me the other day while she was driving and said she saw 2 guys riding 2up on an R6 and I said so how did that look and she said, " way wrong"

I don't know if I came across another rider who was broken down if my mindset would change or not (I guess it would depend on the situation) but I'd atleast stop and make sure he was ok and offer to help out any way I could.

2up males = penis puffers.

Here, not so much.

The US is obnoxiously homophobic it seems...

IMO, its not quite right...if its to help for a short distance, ok, but unless you WANT people to think your gay, probably not a good idea!

I remember that day, quite interesting to say the least. There's a silver kawi that I saw a few times last year and everytime I saw it there were 2 dudes on it in a shirtless display of homo. We're talking middle of August, dude on the back is at least 200 lbs and holding on like there's no tomorrow, neither one wearing a shirt, at a light...

If somebody wrecks and needs a ride to the next town to call for help then I'm ok with that, but other than that, HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Riding with a passenger is a different kind of experience, and I don't have a problem bringing a girl out with me. But a dude can ride his own damn bike. Add to that the fact that I'm a whole wopping 5'7" means that generally the only passengers small enough are girls (although I did out a ex who stood 5'11" barefoot).

Yeah, had to give a buddy a ride up the interstate the other day! But made sure to miss as manny hevily populated areas as I could. Plus he's 5'5 145 no way I'd have some giant on the back.

WildKat · 07-23-2008, 06:19 PM

Definitely no aggressive riding with a dude on the back; the further away he stays from hanging onto me the better..if you can't use the grab bar on the back then start hoofin it
