Why not let someone more experienced break the wife in - where's Funky?







Joking aside, there's a thought there, if you know someone who's used to taking passengers, let them take her for a spin and add some independent constructive critisism (but not Funky).

Who said the GS has a low centre of gravity? might be the case but would be a lot handier if your feet could touch the floor comfortably to start with when 2 up. R1200R would have been a far better choice.

Pop over here at the weekend and we can answer her/your concerns..Broadclyst just outside Exeter

The only thing I would add is that a topbox makes a good back rest and a tap on the shoulder and a nod before getting on and off the bike

Here's some tips I wrote in an easy question and answer format for my Facebook page:

If you're still having worries about it, drop me a line - a ride out to the Exeter area might be fun one sunny day :)

PS if you don't 'do' FB, don't worry, you don't have to create an account to view the page, just read it like any other website.
