I just tell my wife, hold where is comfortable, do what I do, and if you need me knock on the kid haha 😂

After my wife got comfortable riding 2 up in a parking lot and round the block, I took her out for dinner. There's a nice, long, easy curve where I get to lean in a bit at pretty good speed (less than 50mph, but higher than 35). When we got to dinner I asked her if she remembered that turn. She said she did. I said "Great! Whatever you did on that curve, do THAT every time." She said "I didn't do anything" 🤣

For a rider are grab bars sufficient or is around the waist a better way to remain attached to the bike?

I wear a purpose-made belt with handles -- important safety equipment, especially on a sporty bike with a small pillion seat and no backrest, like my Speed Triple.

You could write children’s books. This was fantastic.

No one will ride with me 😢😢😢

My number 1 tip for riding with a passenger is don't. That's it, just one word "don't"

And what to do with a Sleepy Stacy? My girlfriend has the habit of falling asleep on the back of the bike, knocking her helmet into mine when she does, or when I shift/brake. Also makes her shift backwards when I accelerate. Of course keeping her awake would be best, and Ive asked her too, but she just falls asleep every time

One of the best informative video I've seen!

Moral of the story: don't have a pillion

this was more like "SEND THIS TO THE PILLION PASSENGER" Video

That was the most impressive tutorial i HAVE ever seen!

Marimusimo trying to get he's knee down past the school an chest pumps the rider into a tuck !!that's twice these ryanisms ha cracked me up today!!!

This is good.

OMG my wife is a helmet bumper

I Have watched this video lots of times but it is so good i know i ll be back

So far you haven’t said any idiot stuff. I have been watching your channel for a while now. I like you man. Sharp dude. Thank You for the knowledge.

This is hilarious 😂

I like the shaun the sheep vibe of the video. Easy going

Every time i am a pillion i Get complimets for beeing a good pillion

He forgot the sleeping pillon

I never ride with a pillion and still watched this because Ryan F9.

My outtake: I’m never riding with a passenger. Too much work, not worth it.

My best pillion is my son... I dont even know he is there. He got his licence 2 years ago and never looked back. My daughter is the worst. Ill never have her on the bike again. She leans in the oppisite direction.

Aunt Barbara adores you!

Imagine being so incompetent you couldn't talk to your pillion

My favorite part is when I lean far inside a corner, my pilons foot scrapes the ground an she quickly rearranges herself on the backseat. Nothing better than a bit of work in the suspension while driving on the edge. Well I guess just drive a little more patient then

I like my pillion that put their feet on the ground when I stop. And of course follow my body in corners. You can know whether a pillion is used to ride a bike or no by their body movement.

# Tip: Don't

The rest is just physics - summed up the vid

I tell my pillions to look over my right shoulder into a right turn and left for a left turn. That way they are leaning with you. Much more stable.

Rule 1 Look over the left shoulder in a left hand corner & Right shoulder in a right hand corner Rule 2 NEVER let go

The #1 tip for riding with a pillion is "Don't". I love motorcycles.

I am 6' 3'' love bikes, escooters never drove a motorcycle. I have been characterized as the best pillion because I love physics and when someone gives me a lift I try to apply the simple concepts to assist that person and make his life easier. Also I am not afraid with a responsible rider

Years ago when my wife 1st hopped on the passenger pillon I apologised for dropping the bike,cause sooner or later, I'm going to.

3:02 clutch on a vespa..

My Japanese pal hopped on my 250 Rebel in Manhattan one day, and when we got to the Verrazano Bridge he said: "My feet are HOT." I looked back to see his inch thick crepe soles had melted right thru.

#1 tip: LEAVE the passenger at home

Great animation, great video!

I don't allow anyone with a penis or more than 130lbs on the back. That solves all of these problems.

i perfer they just lean back into backrest turn up the tunes and enjoy the scenery

My dog is my pillion.

I came here to look for strell's comment

At 6'9", I feel "sailboat sam" at a personal level regardless of pillion or driver.

Hey Ryan, really love the quality of your content. Have you ever considered making a series of videos where you just get to the fucking point?

People who already ride, make good pillions; unless they want to be jackasses and lean and fidget around to screw you!

Awesome! Now I just need someone willing to my Pillion... I'm so lonely T_T

Can cyclisimo Mario not do that on my Honda Grom

Weighted Blanket Betty: Laying full on my back like a heavy weighted blanket, making steering a lot harder

Haha. I had a girlfriend named Stephanie and she would always move around when I was going up to a stop or leaving a stop and no matter how much I told her not to move around or adjust herself until I was up to a normal speed she would still do it. She would always let go at this time also and shift her weight around when I was going slow either to a stop or leaving one. One time I had told her not to twice already in like 10 minutes and she pushed down super hard to the right side as I was almost about to stop and the bike almost when down. I was already super annoyed because I went over that shit a thousand times so I yelled at her and she didn’t move around anymore after that.

I give briefers to each new pillion. I explain things and dynamics to them such as: 1. Hold onto the sissy bars, or my kidney/waist belt only, never hold on to my shoulders, which would affect the way I control the bike. 2. Mount and unmount only upon my explicit instructions. 3. Keep the torso close to mine at all times including when leaning into curves and corners. Pass me a signal when the pillion's ass or body is already aching from too much riding. 4. Avoid falling asleep on longer rides as much as possible (applies only to my wife). 5. Enjoy the views from back there. I literally have to ask pillions to dismount if they can't follow these simple and sensible rules.

Noodle-neck Nicole, lol. How can one not like this vid? So much useful info too.

Ok i am a bad pillion , moon landing is banned

I first rode horses and I was told to hold onto the saddle, not the "driver". Then the horses became useless when we got motorcycles, and I was told to hold on to the luggage rack/sissy bar.

My best rules; - Hold my waist (shoulders for guys) - Squeeze muh hips with your thighs - Sit straight, if you get tired lean on me but not too much (I'll shrug my shoulder if too much pressure), hold my waist and RE-TIGHTEN those thighs as well as put your head to the side or keep it straight, do not bump my helmet. - Lean WITH ME always. I do not lean on every single turn with a pillion as it is too much weight at lower speeds so I make sure to emphasize WITH ME. - Double tap ONCE if you need to communicate with me (I will do so at the next stop or slow down and lift my helmet) - Double tap TWICE if there is an emergency, I will stop as soon as possible. Final rule: I will go fast only when I think it's safe. (almost never)

Animation is super hilarious🤣

I liked just because of the k-pop joke😂

Dont. Tell them to get their own.

my wife always bumps her helmet to mine. relatable experience

INDIAN'S here??😂

Have anyone see a video about 2 guys and a monkey on a bike? that monkey know how to ride...

This video, while educational, is not addressing the biggest question: what do I do if I have a no-way-no-how-am-I-getting-on-that--bike spouse?

To be fair, I prefer my passenger to not move. I tell them to imagine they are a tied down sack of potatoes. If they want to look into the turn, cool, just no leaning. I also ride. Cruiser so I got a bigger saddle.

I’ve ridden with my teenage son behind me. He’s very good. “Lean as I lean” did the trick. Girls don’t get it until the 10th time but they’re light ha.

I always say pretend you're a bag on the passenger seat 😆

I'm the best passenger

Always been my problem. Drop dead gorgeous women dressed in bikinis wanting to ride pillion. Then I wake up.

So the #1 tip to ride with a pillion is "to understand the pillion"🤔😁

My I ask why Terry has F9 shirt ? Easter Egg !?

My worst pillion experience.. I was dating this girl in college, she had no interest in bikes. One day she said, "Hey my friend jenny loves bikes, do you think you can give her a ride?". I'm like "sure, do you know what size helmet she needs?" She's like "her head is about the same size as mine". I say, sure bring her over and we'll ride. Next day, I go to my girl's place and fucking Fenny is there. What I wasn't told is, Jenny weighs at least 110kgs. I'm on a 250 bike and I weight 80Kg... I can't say no without looking like a massive douche... My last hope is, maybe her head won't fit inside the helmet. Amazingly it somehow does. Defeated, I mount the bike. Jenny mounts the bike and my lower back. I know if bike leans over more than 5 degrees, we're done for. Sketchiest 10 minutes of my life follows. I can't touch the throttle at all, because as soon as I do, we wheelie. Handlebards don't care about my input at all. The bike just goes straight. We somehow survived the experience. Jenny is happy as a pig in a sty. I'm considering my life choices. Good times.

Bikes used to have hand grips at the back of the seat. This made it 1000% safer and more practical to pickup a passenger. The entire talk: "Hands go here. Feet go here. Don't take your feet off the pegs until I say." I would not take a 300 lb pillion on a modern sportbike. I have done that with a 90's bike, no problem at all.

my pillion does the turning.... i want to go right as rider but they want to go left !!!!

Loved the animation, clean, smooth, charming. Great job.

So one thing I always get conflicting input about: should the passenger/pillion lean with the rider or not?

Dont you JUST HATE IT when your pillion counter balances her weight into a curve???

Most of my lessons at driving school was with my teacher (or me) riding pillion, It felt wierd the first time I was alone on the bike...

imformative and funny! u.k biker.

Noodle neck Nicole! 😂😂😂

Great cartoons and solid info. One thing I do with a new pillion is to stop after a mile or so and check that everything is okay. Oh, and one other tip; don't take a pillion whose dropped some lSD (I'm a rider from the '70s by the way).

17 ka h ye launda.

#1 tip - Tell them to buy their own god damn bike

Touchdown terry lol terry you put that foot down and I’ll break it off

150 pounds.... nah bro

😂😂😂😂

Everything else is Physics.

And my wife can't even handle 60 mph. Hahahaha. One of the reasons why it took us more than 2 hours just for a 75 km ride. No regrets though.

Dad was an MSF instructor and rode year round. I remember when I was finally old enough to ride pillion instead of on the tank. I also remember when I got good enough at being pillion, match his movements, to go for the long fun ride. Gold medal goes to my sister whom slept while pillion.

I have ridden a BICYCLE OK PEDALS AND ALL, WITH 3 PEOPLE ON IT , ONE ONE THE REAR PEGS , THE ONE STEERING, AND THE OTHER ONE SITTING ON THE HANDLEBARS.

Bravo. Great one RF9

Nice

This is why I ride a one seater bike. Might as well be in a car if there's two people.

Hahaha… this is funny!

can you give a review about fuel injector cleaner and engine flash

The rules for riding with a pillion.. don't ride with a pillion. My R1 is for me 😈

This funny af @ 1.5 speed. lol

animations are quality! hahaha the noodle neck got me good

Ookk I've had pillion who weighs about 55-60 kg but blends very well. He has awesome weight distribution Another pillion similar weight horrible weight distribution. I'm fighting his weight and then trying to ride I want to know how to be a good pillion how to lean when the rider leans

I have so been noodle neck Nicole😂😂😂

Couldn't agree more.

R you Joffrey from got?
