When you are riding your machine alone, YOU are in control, and usually feel the safer for it.

But as a passenger, you are just stuck there for whatever.

Any scary, weird, or funny stories you'd like to share?

#1 Riding w best friend on '71ish Honda 350 circa 1973? A gravel truck ahead on the freeway was pelting our Levi's with its load. All my friend could do is slow down, watching the bouncing gravel land all around us.

#2 Riding behind a roadracer (Kawa 900-1,000 class ) on his beater street 900 Kawa. After going 100+ mph through 50mph freeway sweepers, we arrive at his house to get off the bike and discover HUGE weather checks on the front tire! I was a bit shook up!
