That was in first gear.

@KJeezy351 I've only had the wife on my GL1800 a few times. She doesn't care to ride. One of those few rides we were on together, I notice a difficult time trying to lean the bike into the curves. When the ride was over I asked her as to what she was doing in those turns. She stated as I leaned into the turn she leaned the other way. No wonder I had too take the many curves so slowly. For the most part I enjoy riding solo, but there are times I'd like someone on the back.

you hit the imaginary curb

I always tell my passengers to not move- just sit straight up, let me down the leaning. Of course, she doesn't listen and tries to 'help' turn. In my experience, if the passenger is moving you as the rider are not prepared for the weight change. A still passenger simply makes the bike more top-heavy, but is a static weight- like carrying a box. A leaning, helping passenger is dynamic weight and, 9 times out of 10, will wreck ya. I'm not a GL rider, though, so maybe heavy bikes react differently.

Is your name Paul?

what gear were you in when doing your u-turn? I tend to start off in second gear when it's just me on the bike. I seem to take off smoother. But, I'm interested in knowing how you do it.

@RepublicanDumbAss - It's called a CB

I like the mic/pa setup.
