I don't know about anyone else but riding two up in the twisties is a good work out skill wise on the moto. You've gotta be more smooth on the throttle, braking becomes more challenging, the extra weight becomes a factor in turns and choosing lines, one thing for sure is that if you don't know how to relax you'll be dead tired in no time.

Someone ask how Randy Mamola does it when he gives the pillion rides on the two-seat Desmosedici GP bike for well-heeled individuals and VIPs.

As for a mere mortal like myself, I really don't like to have a passenger when I'm riding on the more technical roads. I think the feeling is mutual since the bikes I own don't have much consideration for passengers...

OMG here's more on that link you sent. He's riding with that beautiful Spanish entertainer named sonia ferrer.

Eh, I use a totally different riding style with passengers and ride much tamer. So while it's still fun, it's not nearly as good a workout or a challenge to my skills. Tried stepping it slowly once with a long time passenger. It was a foot down in a corner that reverted me to my old ways.

I will only ride two up on bike games,
