do you guys take people with you for rides on occasion. I like to take my girlfriend. I go with my family and their bikes. so sometimes i have my gf on the bike, sometimes my mom, or my aunt. They all say its a pain in the ass because they keep on having to scoot back because they always slide forward, and there's a big gap between the end of the seat and my back. so they feel like they're gonna fall into that space. I baught a corbin seat (mainly for the gf...shes got a big booty) and it has that hump in the front....but that doesn't seem to help much. shes says the seat feels alot better, but she still slides forward. do you guys have issues with your passangers?

yeah, it sucks. took my gf for a ride the other day, roughest ride i had. 10 min and my wrists were hurting very badly, and she only weighs 98 pounds!! she actually thought it was comfy because she just laid right on my back. i try to scoot back to close that gap. these bikes really arent made for passengers, so theres really nuthin you can do.

well when my girlfriend does ride with me shes puts her hands on the tank, so when i brake she doesnt slide forward and when i gas it she sqeazes her arms together(i never gas it hard with her). works great for us, no problems.

My wife does the same thing and she's around 100 lbs too, I barely notice she's on the bike because she has complete trust in me and my handling of the bike...it's like poetry...I've popped wheelies with her, dragged a knee with her and she absolutely loves it!

You guys who are like "this is a race bike...I'll never ride any one" are complete dorks and obviously haven't had the right woman on the back...However, I draw the line at dudes...

haha. thanks guys. your replies were very funny. my girlfriend DOES put her hands on the tank when we brake. i guess we're still beginners at it. I'm sure we'll get better with time.

i hate having a passenger.. with my 95, i had my best-friend Marc on it (he's like 165lb) and the bike and i couldnt handle it (bike with the weight, me with how ghey it might look) haha - but i had a couple other girls on it and the worse part i had was them leaning the wrong way or leaning too hard (you always got to take account of your passenger when turning and everything else) - it might of had a banana seat but they would all grab around my waist and when stopping there legs would clinch my thighs. but never had a problem with wrists or what-not.. but i will see what happens with the 06 i get.. i'm happy they took off those seat straps, it's a for-sure thing they have to hold ya (unless it's like the same sex, then i would put a temp. aftermarket strap)

well a buddy of mine took his seat and wraped it with non skid rubber stuff you put in cabinets for your kitchen, looks ugly but when she is not on the back he uses a cowl but htey said it fixed the problem of her sliding foward

hope that helps
