my first time with a passenger, my poor baby went down. she lead me to believe that she was an experienced passenger, she had her own helmet and everything. well when she first got on the bike at my house, i told her to throw her leg over first and then situate from there, for i don't quite flat foot the bike and i obviously don't have the strength (she was bigger than me). so we go to leave the meet spot, and she puts all of her weight on the left peg, thinking she was just gonna throw her leg over (when i already told her that i couldn't support that much weight on one side of the bike). i tried soo hard to save it, and for an instant, i almost thought i had. EVERYONE saw the whole thing. SO embarassing. learned my lesson though! now there's a weight limit for my backseat, and experienced bitches only!
