Safety Tips For Riding A Motorcycle With A Passenger
Riding a motorcycle with a friend, family member, or date can be even more fun than riding solo. But, when riding a motorcycle with a passenger, you have a greater responsibility to drive responsibly. If your passenger suffers road rash or other injuries while you’re driving, you will likely be footing his or her hospital bills. Here are a few tips for safely riding your motorcycle with a passenger in Dallas.
Take a Motorcycle Safety Course A motorcycle safety course is a great way for you to learn more about your bike, how to ride safely when you have a passenger in tow, and other basic techniques. Not only is a safety course a good idea, but you have to complete a course in motorcycle safety before you can get a motorcycle license in Texas.
Prepare Your Bike Properly If your bike is set up for only one rider, attempting to fit another one on is not a good idea. Instead, the first thing that you should do is check to make sure that your motorcycle seat is large enough to fit comfortably a second person.
Talk to Your Passenger If your passenger has never been on a motorcycle before, have a discussion with him/her first. ● Discuss what to expect ● Show him/her where to take hold ● Point out where s/he can rest her/his feet Make sure that s/he is comfortable with basic riding before attempting anything riskier, like highway riding.
Slow Down and Exercise Caution When you have a passenger on your bike, riding will be different. With more weight, your motorcycle won’t handle as it would if you were the sole rider. ● Slow down ● Take turns at a reasonable speed ● Give yourself more stopping room ● Ride defensively
