Passenger Problems - Page 3

I mount first, start the bike, in neutral, be sure I have good solid footing, standing up sometimes helps stabilize the bike. Wife steps on the left board and stands straight up, steps through and sits down. she does it so slick I cannot tell that she is even mounting. she helps herself up a bit by one hand on my shoulder and the other on the backrest. The idea is to stand straight up not pull her weight back and forth.

My wife has the same problem. She just hit 70. There is a solution on Gadget Fix It website. I'm in the process of doing it now. You make brackets that raise the passenger floorboards.
Hense she doesn't have to swing her leg as high to get on. Gettin old ain't for sissys!!!!!!

Lets see..
1. wife puts left foot on left floorboard
2. wife puts right hand upside the leftside of my head for smartass comment on her making us late once again.
3. wife roundhouse kicks her right foot over backrest (actually aiming for my head) and sits butt down and almost topples us.
4. wife smacks me again for good measure and for any future comments I'm sure to make during the day while telling me how lucky I should feel that she's riding with me and my loser friends.

Just kidding...

I always mount from the right side 1st then the wife from the left side but that became a bore so bought her a bike as well and she just follows along behind or lately in front she is becoming a lot more game now she is on her full licence and on a bigger bike(750 Shadow).
