Riding Motorcycle With A Passenger

[viragomawde]

thanks dude:)

[calibratorzg]

nice vid!

[jacksoness2]

do you want your passenger to put a foot down when you come to a stop? or feet always on the pegs? im worried about approaching a stop sign and having the bike tip when i stop. is it a lot different with a passenger?

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@jacksoness2 .....I don't think a passenger could put a foot down on most bikes, but the answer is no. The passenger must remain still when stopped and you have to hold their weight. I'd be more worried about the hills than stop signs because on a hill you have to hold their weight as well as yours and be quick and smooth with the clutch to start off. Riding bike is COMPLETELY different with a passenger. If your passenger has no idea what way to lean your in for quite a surprise.

[Mortaosh]

you are darth vader and u're riding a mobiledeathstar... I liked that (:

[psychaospath]

make damn sure you know how to ride by yourself before you try this tho

[DrDisasta]

I use to take my girl up to the canyon and she would always tell me to "go faster go faster". Sometimes I would forget she was behind me :)

[miataman89]

"dont be a dick" lol THANKYOU. i crack up when i see a rider with gear and their passanger is in NOTHING. im like lol, wow that guy respects you..

[l0rieable]

awesome and i wouldnt think the strap is for ppl who are afraid..i would find it more comfortable ...i ride with my bf and sometimes think if i had a strap to hold or a bar to hold on to. it would be way more easy for me..but thats just me(: nice video..

[9am3r]

good to see a biker is really putting his responsibility on the road... unlike in my country :(

[xelubest]

great video man :) ur awesome, thanks for the great tips 

[lotsooo]

great video, Personally when I see riders with passengers with no gear I think, "you selfish a- hole", great general tips thanks 

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@lotsooo ...thanks for watching and tolerating the horrible intro...LMAO

[FrankieNY59]

Awesome VID DarkFlight. Thanks for the tips, and for mentioning safety so much. Its good for new/young riders to hear. Hope to see more!

[abramtelollo]

Had too many close calls I ended up taking the passenger pegs off. Lol

[TverbR6]

Nice vid man. Unfortunetly I should've watched this video before I took a passenger for the first time. Did the opposite than you're suppost to except for going fast.

[rossetti1313]

Amazing bike, what kind is it?

[696969sideways]

What do u mean by she holding onto the straps and nice video

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@696969sideways just one strap.....it's attached to the passenger seat on most motorcycles. It's often referred to as the "bitch strap" implying for people who are afraid I guess....lol. some bikes have grab bars on the side also.

@DarkFlightVlogs

thanks

[MrAbdumalik]

Nice tips man, thanx for sharing:) today I got a passenger on my bike for the first time(been practicing on my brother before I put my gf on my triumph D6) and was feeling a little uncomfortable still, even though we were on a parking lot. Making sharp turns after stopping was kinda hard, so I guess my gf can hold on til I feel comfortable with the idea of having someone on that thing behind me while im going 80 mph on a highway ;-)

[osirus1234]

looks like Vancouver

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@osirus1234 ...but the fresh clean air of Newfoundland :)

[layton222]

@DarkFlightVlogs gah I knew it

can never miss a newfies accent

bwahahahahah

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@layton222 ....same as those from Alberta, Ontario or anywhere in Canada "EH" ? ;)

[layton222]

@DarkFlightVlogs yea we all have our slang and such

but it can be hard to tell the difference between an islander and a scotiaer

< islander

[TheNiacim]

Best video on passengers I've seen! Thanks alot I only just got my first big bike (Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R) and have been itching to give someone a ride so wanted to research into it a bit more, thanks :)

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@TheNiacim ..thanks very much.

Make sure you can handle that bike before you take another human life on the back with you.

Always ride with your passenger in mind.

[ebaylion]

what is your cam? very clear!!!!!

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@ebaylion .....hahaha, this is my old crappy camera (canon Powershot 780is). If you want to see clear then check out my videos on my other channel. I now use a Drift HD170 Stealth action camera :)

[DKGRon]

Nice Vids man! Hey I've seen another one of your vids and was wondering if you have an aftermarket seat on you bike for the passenger? it looked really comfortable!

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@DKGRon ...Nope I actually modified the stock one. I bought a new piece of black vinyl then cut and glued some carpet underlay to build up the padding to make it more comfortable for my girl. Then stapled the new vinyl on....$5.00 total cost. I also just ordered a non slip cover from Triboseat(dot)com and we be doing a review on it later this week. (It's awesome!!!!!)

[L3THALIMPULS3]

Very good pointers bro.... I cant go one day without seeing chicks on the back of bikes with wife beaters and apple bottoms on!! SAD STORY!!!

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@zerobelow258 ...thanks....A sad story indeed.

[99GT1]

Just subscribed, nice vlog. Gonna get me a bike soon, so im trying to soak up as much info and tips as i can.

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@99GT1 ...well stay tuned. This is my second channel and I only started it 2 days ago.

I just made a list of 20 more topics, and will be filming at least one a day until the channel gets of the ground. Thanks for subscribing and if you ever got a question drop me a PM. Good luck with it.

[togo8186]

Subscribed! Good tips and good vlog. Good quality stuff.

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@togo8186 ...hey thanks a lot :)

I hope to have more helpful stuff real soon, as I'm just getting this channel started.

[rynoride]

Nice work, Bro! Been thinging of doing the same....instructional type vids. But you have definitely went above and beyond with the channel. Great work, Dude. Definitely doing it the right way.

Good info. 100%! Those of us who ride have had some passengers that throw us off our game. You definitely covered all the rules. =)

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@rynoride ...thanks man this is actually an old video from last November.

Thought it would go good on the new channel. Appreciate your thoughts :)

[DynexMr]

wow.... No snow? Up in Ontario, theres a snow storm -.-.. Wish I was in Newfoundland now. (like aways)

[DarkFlightVlogs]

@DynexMr ....oh man how I wish. This is an old video made on Nov.12th 2010, we are sadly still buried in snow.

I'm sure you'll be on the road way before me :(

[DynexMr]

@DarkFlightVlogs No way.. Been snowing for a long time here. Won't be until months till riding time.. ;(
