IPM Presents: How to Ride With a Passenger

[shortyseventeen]

Love it!!!

[Buckhunterz1500]

so here is my problem, im skinny, so i dont take up the whole seat, so when a girl gets on my bike, she always slides up, so i try to sit back as far as i can, which makes my arms strech out further, its really uncomfurtable and i get tired after even 20 or 30 mins of riding (ive gone all day from ohio to south carolina, then the next day to florida then back up to ohio, so its not normal for me to get tired of riding) any tips? or do i just have to fatten up haha

[InlinePerformance2]

@Buckhunterz1500 have her hold the tank. no need to slide around for her

[plzforgiveme987]

well finally a video on how to get on >.> all the other ones are about safety.. nd not gettin on.

[InlinePerformance2]

@plzforgiveme987 Thanks for watching!

[Kriegermaus]

"kathy" is pretty hot. i'd do her :-P

[InlinePerformance2]

@Kriegermaus Amen brother

[InlinePerformance2]

@yourleftnut1 indeed

[pendemic09]

hey what about if they arent able to reach the tank? would you recommend the lower back then?

[inlineperformancemag]

@pendemic09 you mean like children?

[inlineperformancemag]

@pendemic09 that's a toughie... since the arms reaching the tank is only to prevent her from slamming into when you brake suddenly, where can she put her hands if they won't reach the tank? i'm hoping since she's too small to reach the tank, she's pretty light too? Could you be strong enough to have her weight not be an issue for you?

[inlineperformancemag]

@pendemic09 how about encouraging her to get her license and ride with you?

[pendemic09]

@inlineperformancemag lmao thats funny cause until i got the bike she had NO INTEREST in motorcycles and out the blue she text me one day and said she wants to her her license, a day after i let her get on the back and coast in the garage to park it

[inlineperformancemag]

@pendemic09 right on!

[aqui011]

@pendemic09 lol dats funny cuz my gf always hated motorcycles and a 3 weeks after we broke up she bought a 2006 zx6 lol

[shagy2k5]

Can you show actual road footage? and also when do you use the little strap in the seat?

[InlinePerformance2]

@shagy2k5 that's be a bit dangerous but maybe in the future. I personally don't use the straps. They aren't attached to the seat very well and may not support the force and weight of a passenger pulling on it.

[rjskylinegtr]

hauahuahua nice tips, and lot of fun!

[InlinePerformance2]

@rjskylinegtr Thanks!

[2cool0]

[fhsdkfh]

Oh thankkkk you sooo much for this vdo.. I'm also a little short and tomorrow's going to be my first time riding bike with a friend and I was afraid of getting on to the bike (vertical challenge?) Thank you once again. it's so helpful and just what i needed. :D

[bigghost27]

good vid bro

[InlinePerformance2]

@bigghost27 Thanks!

[tbonethugg]

awesome ending. "harder, harder!" LOL

[inlineperformancemag]

@tbonethugg YIKES!

[AlextheJediRanger]

Why doesnt anyone ever consider pants as proper gear? Jeans catch on the pavement and are no protection what so ever. Roadrash is fun.

[inlineperformancemag]

@AlextheJediRanger Because the motorcycle isn't moving. Or on the street for that matter...

[AlextheJediRanger]

@inlineperformancemag Then why wear the jacket, boots and gloves? To show that your properly geared even without it moving or on the street? With jeans on, your not properly geared.

[inlineperformancemag]

@AlextheJediRanger By your reasoning, we all should have been wearing helmets too then.

[AlextheJediRanger]

@inlineperformancemag No actually not at all. But by your explanation for proper gear, and for having random pieces of gear on in the video, neither of which were pants, this video fails

[inlineperformancemag]

@AlextheJediRanger The point of the video was to show how to carry a passenger on a motorcycle. What does proper gear have to do with anything?

[InlinePerformance2]

@inlineperformancemag OMG! Block this loser already... Jedi Ranger... 'snort!' Get a life! Can't please everyone like I always say. You are just way too nice to indulge trollers like this on YouTube!

[SethArmaddos]

...Sqeezing DOESN'T work for a 155 pound male passenger, as him and the rider, does a quarter mile IN 10 secs. OR SO !!! ...and my feat are strong, trust me, I'm a martial arts practitioner... SO, as I felt slipping away at the very last moment I grabbed the under side of the tank... if I hadn't, my uvex & streetfighter suit = doormat material... and me having a VERY bad day!! ...So, next time you give 'advices', TRY THEM OUT !!!! ...AT THEIR FULL EXTEND!!!! ...then give your precious advice...

[InlinePerformance2]

@SethArmaddos I guess by you attempting them once, you are now the expert right? All the motorcycle training techniques have now been proven wrong by your attempt. congrats! Oh, and kathy is only about 115. Sorry we dont carry dudes, or chicks that weigh 155 on the back of our bikes...

[inlineperformancemag]

@InlinePerformance2 Ahahahahaha! Dude, don't mess with him. He is a MARTIAL ARTS PRACTITIONER...

[LiquidTokyo]

I think Kathy should get off that plastic homo ricer and ride my face.

[inlineperformancemag]

man up, and ask her

[bdrjaber]

@LiquidTokyo grow up

[matpav2004yahoo]

Vertically challenged :]

everythings gone politically correct now

[InlinePerformance2]

better safe than sorry these days...

[driftknight]

yea that seat is high buy it's like wow

[WorldNews107]

haha the end is wrronngg

[inlineperformancemag]

very.

[pmic2011]

what if 2 guys want to ride without looking gay? what should they hold onto?

[inlineperformancemag]

kathy's breasts

[thepimpondubs]

That girl pretty

[inlineperformancemag]

werd

[paintballgundown8]

id say the best way of staying on the back is to trust the driver and for the driver to remember he has a human on the back

[inlineperformancemag]

amen to that!

[saomaino]

that DUC got some high ass back seat. Hanging on to the tank and not the waist, better take it easy on that acceleration.

[inlineperformancemag]

yeah, not a bike for a passenger, def.

[Lrltn26]

Excellent video, safety first!!! would recommend to all viewers....cheers guys

[inlineperformancemag]

thanks!

[kmildhs]

There is nothing of friction for a passenger to "squeeze" with their legs, other than the driver. With 27 yrs of riding experience, I've seen passengers tossed off the back using this method too many times. I don't reccomend it. You may "distract" the driver by holding on to him/her, but, IMO, it's still the safest (and most secure) way.

[wwwLEXRACINGcom]

works fine for us!

[kmildhs]

Seriously? You think holding on to the tank is enough grip under accelleration? IMO the "distraction" of having my passenger pull on me during acceleration beats scraping them off the pavement after flipping off the back from having ZERO grip on a tank!

[inlineperformancemag]

you squeeze with your knees on acceleration, NOT hold on to the tank. You push the tank on braking.

[SethArmaddos]

@inlineperformancemag Oh, yeah??!!! I DON'T THINK SO DUDES!! I was curious how it feels to be a passenger on my bike SO I asked one of my friends to ride whilst I was on the rear seat... WTF do you think happened? He did exactly what he shouldn't. HARD ACCELERATION & BRAKING!!! I'm 155 pounds, so I WAS HOLDING FOR DEAR LIFE!!! In 24h I had SORE ARMS & SHOULDERS for like 20 min of being a passenger. ...Oh, yeah!!... forgot: Squeezing is not manly BUT I TRIED IT... IT DOESN'T WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[inlineperformancemag]

@SethArmaddos works for everyone else! it is also the method taught in riding courses.

[CH1CKENQUIFF]

@inlineperformancemag

I agree, it works!

[tuber188]

Excellent!

5/5 Stars!

[inlineperformancemag]

Thanks!!!

[dukviper90]

man at first i thought that guy on the bike was jet li...:D

kathy is hot by the way ;P

[inlineperformancemag]

that's justin. im sure he takes that as a compliment. and yes she is!

[Hady629]

who is that breathing so hard at 2:20???

[inlineperformancemag]

that'd be dan. he gets uh...overly excited...

[slightlyleft726]

4 nuts dont belong on 2 wheels

[inlineperformancemag]

we agree! hence, kathy's presence...

[CashonTheSwagger]

when riding a passenger,do you need to raise the shocks up or just keep it as it is?

[inlineperformancemag]

kathy is light. no change in shock

[griffon820]

see-ive been doing this from day one when my husband got his bike but he kept telling me i was doing it wrong!! guess not huh honey...hmph i win!!

[inlineperformancemag]

yes you do!

[Seif5034]

that's good info. thanks 4 sharing!

[cwetzelberger]

Lets get this straight,

She climbed on using his peg. Then she had to hold on to his gas tank...while squeezing his hips.

[spoonmonkey3]

lol

[woozybarnes]

Thanks for the great info. Now if I could only find a beautiful passenger like Kathy, I'd be all set!

[inlineperformancemag]

LOL! she's a gem!

[tigercub0100]

@woozybarnes Not many females who enjoy riding motorcycles(well sports/street bikes that is), well in my area(Pennsylvania). Would enjoy to have a girlfriend who would enjoy riding as passenger, hell, she being her own rider w/ her own motorcycle. But hell I agree with you woozy. lol
