RE: [ST] Riding Two Up on the ST



Just look at your manual for your bike.  There should
be suggested suspension settings as well as tire
pressure for solo vs. two-up riding.

My GF has ben riding with me for about a year now,
pretty aggressively at times....she places her head on
the inside of each turn if time allows her to switch
(if we are in very tight S curves she judges herself
and may just stay put so as not to upset the bike.)

Basically I tell her to stay inline with my spine.  If
mine leans, then just stay inline with it.  

Good luck and enjoy it!
