Two-up Group Ride 12/6!!! (Weather permitting)

[mostrobelle]

I've got some friends who's s.o.'s ride, friends who want rides, etc.... and it made me think that perhaps a two-up-friendly group ride is in order.  I'm guessing that there might be some folks who know others who have been asking for a ride.  Maybe this is your chance to ask that girl at work... or guy?    

You don't have to have a passenger lined up for this ride, but it would be spiffy if you'd be open to taking one or being one.  I won't force two guys to ride together if y'all are that homophobic, but ya might be asked to ride on back with a gal... Yeah, that's right...a GIRL.    So pick your poison.   

Safety stuff:  OK, in case you don't get it, this isn't a "balls out" type of ride unless your passenger is down wit' it, and even then I'd suggest that you try to do most of the thinking above the belt--this goes for the chicks, too.  Crashing your own sorry butt is one thing--taking someone down with you is beyond uncool and it's twice the slippery blood and guts for the rest of us to ride through.   Get your bike in shape suspension-wise for taking two people, too.  I'd like to emphasize riding "The Pace."  http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/flashback/122_0911_the_pace_nick_ienatsch/index.html  For those of you who want the Cliff Notes it means that you ride within your limits, your lane and the speed limit for the most part.  Wick it up in the corners, but keep it reasonable in the straights.  We do this to allow folks to catch up and to avoid tickets.  And PLEASE try to get your passengers geared up for safety and warmth as best you can.  I have an extra Aerostich that I can lend out, gloves, and a few other armor odds and ends.

1. 'Belle (roving passenger)

Been awhile since I've had a passenger on a fun road, if the Brutales back, I'm in!

'Belle, you'll have to prewarn any passengers though.  Think your keister's the only one small enough to fit on that seat.   

[desmoquattro]

Good Idea! BikerGoddess has something going on that day, but let me check with her.

Also, keep in mind that Marin County roads are less likely to have debris on them this time of year than peninsula roads.

If need be, then my keister it'll be... I can have a roving keister too.  Everyone wants a piece of my ass...uh, wait a minute...

Tell her to cancel!  And I'll assume that that's one vote for N. Bay route then.   

[CharliesAngel]

Thanks for organizing this! 
I can ride as a passenger on my Duc and let someone give it a whirl if they don't mind me being behind him/her 
I also vote for N. Bay - Peninsula had a ton of leaves/debris when I went a couple of weeks ago...

[desmoquattro]

Tell her to cancel!

YOU try telling her that she should skip the RISD Holiday Sale.

[Jammen]

Whoops, looks like the Brute's getting parked for this one.
Calling dibs on Charlie's SS, been looking for a chance to get some seat time on an SS!

Sorry 'Belle, you'll have to find another slippery, rock hard, and tiny seat to get abused on.   

If need be, then my keister it'll be... I can have a roving keister too.  Everyone wants a piece of my ass...uh, wait a minute...

If I'm in town and can find a girl and don't have to fix up a baby room and don't have to shop for stuff for a baby or the house and don't have to work, I'm in.   

[Michael Moore]

I'm in, but need a passenger. Jackie has better sense than to sit on a monster pillion for an hour.

My smducman-talk is rusty...    (you know I luff ya...)   Sounds like the wife is working that day?  I'll put you down for needing a passenger.  Let me know if I'm wrong.

First post being updated as info filters in.   [moto]

6.  Spidey* (assuming he's not mired down in the banality of pending baby-dom)

*wears a pink tu tu

Careful what you wish for.  I might have to wear a dress if I can't find a passenger.

...and how's that different from any other ride for you?
