Thanks.

Luckily the girl is 5 foot nothing, maybe 105. Sexy little Russian blonde with a slight accent... that's not relevant but it's worth mentioning  Wink I could probably put a case of water in my backpack and it would mimic the affect she'll have on the bikes balance  Tongue

I think she'll do well - seems to be the adventurous type.

I expected the bike to want to go wide in the corners but didn't put too much though into it, so thanks for mentioning that.

and you rode on the back of your buddies bike for a couple hours? you're much more secure in your masculinity than I cheeky

My bike broke down in the twisty roads way too far from town a week ago.  I rode as a passenger, as a pregnant dog :-(.  Worst experience and scariest.  I thought I was gonna fall off the whole time.  Nothing fun in being a passenger.

I've taken my wife on a couple of short trips. She loves it!

My main concern now is how to remove the rear pegs so I never have to do it again.  bang head

One thing no body mentioned was to tell the passenger not to move her butt around on the seat in the middle of turns..

That one definitely caught me by surprise..
