Cowardly motorcycle passenger…

Filed under: Motorcycles — Tags: , — admin @ 7:00 pm

So, now that my husband has had his bike for THREE years, now, I’ve finally bought myself a helmet so I can ride with him.  Today, we went for our first ride.  I had to get off after just a couple of blocks.  Now that I’ve read some of the answers here, I get it.  I was SICK, I had no way to communicate with him, our first “planned” trip was WAY too long, and I did NOT feel safe.  Now I’ve perused this site, I know I ought to go to a BRC, get a bit more gear, and take it slow.
But really feeling safe – any tips for riding on the back of a ‘90 Kawasaki Ninja 600/650?  I’ve seen riders that have both hands behind them on the TINY bar, I’ve seen riders holding the drivers, but I just can’t imagine being comfortable….
I’ve already made an investment in the helmet, and I know part of this is just plain fear I will grow out of, and he was a REAL sport — he made no rude comments when we met back up, and said he was already done being mad about it.  This is something he absolutely LOVES and I want to be a part of it, maybe even get my own bike someday (my Aunt got her first bike at age 40, and rode every year until she just physically couldn’t handle it by herself any more) and go on tours with him.
Thanks for your time.

Hybrid vehicle question

Filed under: Hybrid Cars — Tags: , — admin @ 1:00 pm

Hi Bob,

I was potentially considering buying a hybrid vehicle. However, I do not know too much about hybrid vehicles. Could you give me some pros and cons about hybrid vehicles. One thing that I’ve heard is that they do not have much power behing them. I’ve heard that people will have the gas pedal to the floor and are not really going anywhere, which could be very bad when pulling out in front of traffic.

Thanks for the help,
Ricki

Safety chains on bike

Filed under: Motorcycles — Tags: , — admin @ 1:00 am

Is it a law in MN to have safety chains on your motorcycle if you are pulling a small trailer?  We had a hitch put on our bike for pulling our small trailer, and they didn”t put safety chains on the hitch. Our last bike hitch had them and we thought it was a law.  Thank you
