Posted by Jeff Davis on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, In : Motorbike Riding Tips

Although it may seem that riding “two-up” is more convenient than riding a motorcycle itself, the reality is something else. The pillion passenger will also need to be active, careful, and responsible to make the ride safe and enjoyable for both themselves and the rider. When riding two-up, being casual about your safety can be more dangerous than you think, so be vigilant.

If you have accepted an invitation to join your friend or colleague as a motorbike passenger, here are tips to prepar...
