Hi,

I dont own a motercycle but my boyfriend (CJardine) own's a 1999 CBR600 F4 and I just started riding on the back. So I thought I would join since I'm still figuring things out as far as the best way to ride on the back. I am saving money to take the motorcycle riders course so I can get my M1 license and a motorcycle of my own. ...thats the plan anyways.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the CBRForum. So welcome aboard Danielle! ;-) CJardine is ok...I guess. J/k! ;-)

By all means, take that MSF course asap & get your own bike! That way, you won't have to ride on the back of his bike for long. ;-)

 

welcome to the forum, my g/f just recently started riding with me as well!

 

gotcbr: thanks. Thats my plan! I'm just saving the money for the BRC course. lol, CJardine isn't reading this so go ahead and spill the dirt.

volcom: I've been trying to figure out how to brace myself and not have my helmet bump the back of my boyfriends. any suggestions?

 

Welcome Danielle !
As for "bumping helmets" it's a common problem - best way my wife does it is to rest it sideways against my back.............she doesn't need to see where we're going, I do I'm referring to higher speeds, of course when you're just cruising, it shouldn't be a problem unless he brakes quickly.......
(it also helps with "helmet wobble" when the slipstream catches your helmet and wobbles it.)

 

Nah, no dirt. ;-) CJardine joined up & got active in the forum w/a purpose! I like that. I'm sure he's heard "move like you've got a purpose" more than a few times. ;-) Ask him, being mil, I'm sure he knows exactly what I mean. :-)

 

welcome to the forum

 

Shadow: Thanks for advice we will try that and see how it works.

Gotcbr: lol, I was joking. he said he knows exactly what you mean.

Thanks for the welcome!

 

He's a Marine... I am surprised you don't have to lace his boots up for him...
