Finally rode two-up

I took my Bronco out of service today to repair the driveline, I have to wait a few days for parts. My wife is out of town with her car, and one of my sons has my car. That leaves me the Nomad, so things could be worse...

Anyway, I needed to pick my 17-year old up from work tonight, so I threw an extra helmet in the Nomad trunk and went to get him. It's been years since I rode with a passenger, and the Nomad handled it well. I gave him the standard lecture "act like you're part of the bike, don't try to counterbalance me, etc.". He's about 6' and 180 pounds, really didn't make a huge difference once I got her rolling.
