Passenger care: 3 Dafy tips

It is well known in motorcycles that we have all the disadvantages of a car, but without its advantages. If the pilot is enjoying it, the passenger is often less enjoyable. At more or less long distances Passager finds himself in an uncomfortable position with pain in the back, buttocks, and stiff shoulders.

In order to prevent your passenger from getting confused on their first rides, it is advisable to take some precautions, especially if you regularly travel together.

If your passenger's comfort is largely dependent on your mount, then if you don't have Goldwin, your passenger can still find a certain comfort and take some motorcycle fun.

Tip # 1: A motorcycle suitable for a duo.

Tip # 2: equip your motorcycle for a passenger

You can not only choose a mount, but also equip the motorcycle to better accommodate the passenger.

Topcase, at the service of the passenger

While the top case is not very elegant for a motorcycle, it is very useful when paired. First of all, it reassures the passenger: there is no risk of knocking him down from the first acceleration. On the other hand, it is equipped with a backrest, which allows the passenger to lean on it and thus avoid back pain. Please note that the space between the pilot and the passenger should not be too large, which will increase the air flow.

Finally, topcase has another advantage, its main function: storage. Indeed, the top case can accommodate the bag and thus relieve the passenger of the backpack, which tends to pull over the shoulders. In addition, the top case can be used to store helmets or even jackets while walking, to the delight of the passenger.

Sissy bar made for customs

For customs, you can equip your motorcycle with a sissy rack. The sissy bar is quite cute and well received with custom. It allows the passenger, like the top case, to lean on it and thus relieve the load on the back.

Special handle for the passenger

If your passenger is uncomfortable to hold on, or if your motorcycle does not have handles, you can opt for a handrail that attaches around the rider's waist so that the passenger can properly grip the pilot.

Comfortable saddle for long journeys

Another syndrome on a motorcycle is pain in the buttocks after a few kilometers, whether as a driver or a passenger. To make up for this, a comfortable saddle can be a very good choice if you want to do long pair walks on a regular basis.

Tip 3: comfortably equip your passenger

Like the pilot, the passenger must be properly equipped. Unlike the pilot, who controls his trajectory, his acceleration and braking, the passenger is "exposed" to driving. Thus, we often see passengers wearing an old helmet or an old jacket so as not to invest money. On the contrary, for the comfort of your passenger, he must have the right equipment and its size. If you want to travel with an escort, a high-quality and lightweight helmet is essential to avoid noise pollution, unbearable after a few kilometers, or stiffness in the neck. A used helmet should be avoided.
