Motorcycle two-up riding tips

In this video I'll show you some tips on two up riding using the proper techniques. Head and eyes, friction zone and the rear brake. These techniques do not change with a passenger, nor does the passenger's weight have any effect on the techniques. We are still offering our two videos for 20.00 + 5.00 Shipping for domestic orders. Shortcuts to Riding Like a Pro and Surviving the Mean Streets 2...you must call our toll free to get this offer as it's not available on our website, 866-868-7433 between the hours of 9am and 9pm EST.

Your riding skills are above reproach. Any experienced rider knows the importance of having an experienced passenger. The passenger can make or break any ride, especially when turning. I don't know how many times I've had to teach a passenger to be a motorcycle passenger. Though I had never had an over 200 lb passenger before, great practice.

Jerry -- thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills, and experience.

This problem i was dealing with for a few years because my passenger should i say was plush and it did affect my turning at slow speeds, then she felt that i have trouble with it, she quit riding with me.as i was told that the passenger should lean with the rider ..thanks for another great video

[LaRockstar]

Just want to share my appreciation for uploading these videos. Your incredible prowess has certainly made me a much better rider.

Thanks for the tips. I recently lost a chunk (80lbs) of weight and I was having a rough l
time stopping 2up. Having my wife lean forward when coming to a stop completely cured my issues. Thank you.

Been riding for about a year and a half. About to take my 16 year old little sister for a ride for the first time to get our mom some flowers for mother's day tomorrow. I've ridden with my friend so she's not the 1st person I've put on the back of my bike but thanks for the refresher. Gotta make sure nothing happens to her. Thanks brother

I once saw a bike tooling down the road with two people on it whose combined weight was at least equal to the weight of the bike. From a few feet straight back, you couldn't tell that there were two people on it -- they were perfectly in sync with each other and the bike. Got up close, and it was the gal who was in front (I later found out that they swap off every time they stop for fuel, food, etc. But man, they made that cruiser look like a monkey bike! The first word that came to mind was "Mootorcycle, " but they rode like pros.

This was great ! I’m new to riding -as a passenger ( never driven one and right now am ok with that) my hubby is under 200 lbs and I’m over 200 ( about the same as you and the gentleman passenger) so this is very helpful to me and it will be to hubby as well ! Thanks so much for your videos!

Looking up on how to be a good passenger. A friend wants to take me for a 3 day scenic ride from Farmington, NM to Grand Junction, CO and down to Dove Creek. I was nervous but I feel better after watching this lol. Thanks!!!

Any time I’m searching YouTube for motorcycle tips I instantly look for your videos. You’re an amazing rider and give great tips. I’ve learned a ton from these videos. Thank you

Excellent MotorMan! Great advice. I'll let the better half know to lean forward next time we're two up.

[kerryoconnell]

I never get sick of watching your videos. Everyone can always continue learning great motorcycle techniques. Thanks Jerry!!

Great video...I (Rich) usually ride alone, but when I have a co rider I tell them to just act as if their are my luggage. I explain to them that "Luggage don't move, so you shouldn't move" (especially if they are a new rider.).

My husband just bought a motorcycle this past June. I JUST for the first time got up the nerve enough to ride with him yesterday. It was my first time being on a bike in probably 34 years. So I enjoyed watching this video, apparently after our 6 hour ride yesterday my husband's only complaint was how I leaned when he made turns. I thought I was helping him so when we turned left into a place to eat for example, he and the bike leaned I guess into the turn, (left) so I didn't know what to do I leaned the opposite way 🤷‍♀️ At the end of the day he finally told me I needed to lean WITH him. Although I see you say the passenger should lean into your back so the weight is more centered.. I'm going to save this video and have my husband see it!! Thank you for sharing it and your knowledge. 😊

Jerry, you are the boss of that Harley Davidson. Good show! I like watching you totally control the bike-850# plus the passenger 230# and yourself 195# total= 1275#. Awesome demonstration of handling a loaded Harley Davidson.. That 114 cu in motor doesn't care.

I bet when you were born you came out makin’ a wheely
Greetz from Sweden, love your lessons 👊

[hogwildbowhunter]

Ain’t much too look at but boy can he cook! Motorman does it again with a rider trying to lean the bike into the ground! Great counter balance by motorman with a little extra speed!

Great training, thank you for taking the time to help us, Sir!
