Um, lemme think, probably about.... I'd say.... none. :lol: Unless you count fiddy's and mini-bikes. ;)

My dad had a motorcycle for as long as I can remember, and I dated/was friends with riders a lot. When I was 17 my then boyfriend and I hit a tiny patch of gravel and the bike wobbled on us a bit, which shook me up a little. But then the following weekend he was riding by himself, went down, and died. (Broken ribs punctured his heart and lungs.) I was probably 26 before I would get on a bike again and I was scared SHITLESS for quite some time.

Since then I've wanted to learn to ride but there hasn't been a bike available for me to do so. Hopefully some day there will be chance though becuase I'd like to give it a try and see how I feel about it. I also want to drag knee 2-up. I've come pretty close and it was awesome!

140 with my Fiancee on the Back.

probably a little over 160,


and probably about 75% in the twisties, the passenger was a rider herself, and does well as a passenger too, we were embarassing some solo riders

ahh... just wondered cause you say you prefer riding passenger fast to riding fast... I'd be surprised if you still said the same after getting a decent amount of riding time under your belt.

you should talk to Drewpy or Psycho Child... she's got a little 250 Rebel for sale.

It's not the flipping I'm skeered of. It's dropping the bike, or doing anything else that will hurt it. :lol:

Ain't never had me one of them thar passangers. Nope. If I ever do though I can promise you I would never exceed the speed limit. :lol:

Strange how you all answered with top speed numbers when I mostyly scare the hell out of my pillions with lean angle and corner speed. No I haven't ever dragged knee with a pillion (just cause it is hard to hang off with your wife shrink wrapped to your back) but I do let her feel the lean, step kids too.

She rode in a straight line up to my 600's limit 145-150. Had no adrenaline at all. So she asked for a road race ride and I obliged.:idk:

No bike in the cards for me anytime in the near future. The whole no job thing makes spending on "fun" stuff not possible. :(

Never had a passenger. Don't really care to try it out either.
