Default Riding Two up

Hi Girls,

So I'm new to riding and I don't actually have my M1 license so I am riding with my boyfriend on his CBR600 F4. Its a ton of fun but I'm trying to figure out how to position my head so my helmet doesn't bump the back of his. Also I have been bracing my hands on the gas tank which gets really tiring. Is there a trick to riding on the back seat? Or a good way to hang on to the person in front of you?
Any suggestions or advice would be great!
Thanks!

Bracing your hands on the tank is a good way to keep yourself off of him, otherwise you will slide forward into him and that puts him (and his family jewels) into the tank. He won't like that. You can also try moving your head to the right or left so you can see around him, that may help with knocking helmets some, just don't get too off center. Take a test ride and let him know what you want to do and just try some different positions. Find what works best for you and him.

Ride safe and have fun
