Topic: Crazy passengers?

[74cb750]

How about passenger moments?

The worst one I had was having my older, drunk brother on the back of the Triumph 650 on the way home, (I was 16 at the time, so there you go..)

Had another passenger on my GT250 whom decided he didn't like leaning with the bike and suddenly sat up straight. Made the bike wheelie going into a parking lot.
Not fun.

Wife is never a passenger on my bikes as I no longer put up with being slapped on the helmet everytime I go over 85mph. Geeze!

Many years ago, I had a friend who thought it was great sport to lean and turn us into the side of the 38 Geary (a bus) in San Francisco.

I used to ride behind Inky on his dresser once in a while.  I was fast asleep within a block or 2, every time.

This one isn't "crazy passenger" more than sh!tty sh!t when I was a kid, but...

I was 15 and I was the passenger on the back of my friends '66 Benelli 250cc. We were hangin' out at the beach for a while, and when we went to leave (we were on the bike after backing out of the space) these big black kids told us we were going to ''let them ride that bike.'' Well when we refused they punched him in the face and kicked me in the back as we hauled ass away.
Ah, fun in the sun when you live in south St. Pete!

good times!

Not my story, but I saw it happen.  In high school, a buddy liked to do burnouts on his Sportster.  He went to light one up and forgot his girlfriend was on the back and instead of a burnout, did a wheelie.  I think she peed herself.

The wreck that put my shoulder through a few months of therapy was due slightly to having my brother on the back on a bike.  To be fair, I only had the bike for a couple of weeks and was going a little hot into a corner but my brother tried to lean the bike for me early, I corrected for his lean then he sat straight up as we entered the turn.  Controlled the drop into the ditch then he JUMPED OFF going between 45 and 50, kicking the back end out from under me.  Once the rear got pushed the front hit the dirt, threw me, and my brother (still in the air at this point) came down on my should as I rolled down the road.  He didn't have leather on so it was good he didn't hit the chip and tar road.  I was out for a few seconds but walked away with only soft tissue damage and a reminder of why I had a rule about passengers (none unless I taught them how to ride in a parking lot first).

After a very drunk night out as a student (I wasnt drinking) I gave my very drunk friend a ride home through the streets of Glasgow. On another ride back from the Highlands I had a girl on the back who fell asleep (unknown to me - I just thought she was being friendly  ) as I raced along twisty roads trying to catch up to the rest of the group.

In Mexico  - met a Norwegian babe who wanted a ride on my CB750K4 and after a day riding in the mountains we were coming down a long straight at 70+mph...when the front wheel got a puncture...we almost crashed...and she was only wearing hot pants and a tank top....then she asked why we stopped!

My experience as a passenger - riding on the back of a Kawasaki KZ400, by the light of a full moon in the highlands of Scotland, after getting stoned and encountering a deer on the road...I heard the hooves scraping off the road as we narrowly missed it..scary stuff...but great memories

you got some kick ass stories Andy!

[andy750]

you got some kick ass stories Andy!

  thanks....there are always more but thats a couple I thought of last night....here is another one.. again while a student...we had formed a motorcycle club and one night on our weekly get togethers we had a "treasure hunt" where we had to collect various items and bring them back to the meeting point...one was a kitchen sink, the other a beautiful girl....easy enough right? Sure it was...riding along the city streets I spotted this tall beautiful brunette and stopped with spare helmet in hand if if she would help me out and jump on the back and come with me for 5 min...she was more than happy to get a ride on my bike  ...needless to say the guys were impressed  .....next up was the kitchen sink...this took a little more effort but we did find one and it must have looked somewhat odd riding through the streets of Glasgow with a kitchen sink on the back   

cheers
