i had some problems with spokes breaking, but then i re-laced my Heavy duty axle with 12 gauge spokes. i run a RAW 66CC, and a micargi falcon GT

i have those little telescopic rods, i carry them in my backpack. it works pretty good. the bike just doesn't handle the same when i have a passenger, i can't lean it like i normally do.

Riding two people on one bike is illegal & totally dangerous... especially on a MB!!!
What's REALLY gonna mess it up for all of us, is if people start getting hurt real bad on these things!
Give her one of her own to ride, & teach her to ride it safe! ;)

I agree with venice...
an accident with 2 people would not only be bad for you, but the rest of us as well :(
two solo riders would draw GOOD attention !!! (^)
ie: look at that cute couple riding together ... looks like fun, we should try it :)

The only known case of a bike being confiscated locally was a guy with his girlfriend on the back.

Also probably true about spoiling it for everybody. Look what the ultralight 2-seat exemption abusers did with Part 103. Sport pilot anyone?

I agree. safety first. We got a guy/buddy with a MB in L.A. that rides his 5 year old daughter on the back of his bike on the bike rack. I've told him numerous times about the dangers of his kid gettin hurt, but he does'nt get it. We don't ride with him anymore, and he'll just learn the hard way and hopefully won't screw it up for all of us. I must add though, he rides his kid through the heart of the city in Downtown L.A. and the cops don't do anything. Rockvoice and I were mainly worried about his daughter.
