How to Safely Enjoy a Motorcycle Ride with a Passenger

1/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Riding a motorcycle is exhilarating, some people even compared the experience to being on a roller coaster. Whether you’re a passenger or the driver, you have to do your part to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable ride. Here’s what you should do to make sure it happens.
Only Ride with Someone Experienced
Just because your friend has a motorcycle, it doesn’t mean you can push them to give you a ride. It’s never a good idea to get on a bike with a new rider. You also shouldn’t pressure a newbie to take you for a ride if they’re not comfortable with the idea.

No Sudden Movement
If someone is riding pillion with you, make sure you inform them about the dangers of sudden movements, especially when going around a curve or while at a stop. Motorbikes are at their most stable when they’re moving in a straight line. Sudden and unexpected movements from the passenger could throw the balance off.

Decide on Signals to Use
You should always go over some hand or tapping signals before you even think about starting the bike. Agree on the signs to use and what it means. For instance, one tap could mean slow down while a thumbs-up means “all good.” Unless the helmets you’re using have communication devices, it’s almost impossible to communicate with each other verbally. Consider stopping after 20 to 30 minutes into the first ride and discuss how it’s going for both of you.

Handle with More Care
Riding with a passenger changes various aspects of how you handle the bike. You have to adjust and make your stopping distances longer. Apply brakes earlier and slower than you usually do. It will help make the ride go more smoothly. Remember that your bike won’t accelerate as fast as before due to the additional weight.

Protective Gear is a Must
Never ride without a helmet and other protective gear, even if you’re going a short distance. Ask the rider’s help if you don’t know how to put equipment on. Both rider and passenger should be responsible enough to remember this as they’ll both be vulnerable to the same dangers and injuries.

The right motorcycle insurance is also essential to a safe and fun ride. Just like your helmet and gloves, you should never drive off without one.
