I have a female friend that recently asked me if I would give her a ride on my motorcycle some time. I told her it could happen and just left it at that. Well she keeps reminding me but I'm not exactly comfortable because I'm concerned about her weight.
I've only had light passengers so far so it's been no problem. I've heard you shouldn't have a passenger that weights more than you? Is that because it's terribly hard to feel the proper balance heading into turns with a heavier passenger? I imagine it would be.
Here's the deal. I don't feel comfortable about giving her a ride. So the responsible thing then is to not give her one. But if she wants an explanation there's no way I could tell her without her being offended that I think she's fat. I know she's a woman that has self-esteem issues with her appearance.
Recommendations? Have any of you riden with a passenger heavier or your same weight approx.? What's it like?
Never heard the advice to not give rides to people who weigh more than you. I don't think it should matter much, but your margin for error is just less (stopping is harder, accelerating is harder, can't lean the bike and catch it.)
That being said, you can't do something that you're not comfortable with. I think you should take off your passenger pegs and say they're broken....
For God's sake, don't tell her what you really are thinking.
Remove the passenger pegs! or ......tell her that you just had a bad experience with a pillion "a few days ago" and are not sure about riding with a passenger on the monster at all.
I know that I had to crank on the pre-load to add my wife as a passenger for a 2 day trip....she's about 150lbs (I'm 175lbs) .
Teh Monster suspension was not designed for 275lbs let alone another 50!
Don't have fat girl friends. [thumbsup]
Tell it to her straight. You're not comfortable with your abilities and don't want to go down.
Tell her your bike would need to be professionally adjusted to accomodate more than one person.
Tell her you'd rather not abuse your bike like that... ;D
I don't know man, tell her to find a boyfriend that rides. If you have a girlfriend you could also add that you feel it wouldn't be appropriate.
Either way, don't risk it.
step 1 buy sticker and place on bike under the cowl
(http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k282/55spy/No20Fat20Chicks2014.gif)
Just show her thie sticker and shrug your shoulders ;D
My biggest concern would be with the added forces placed on your arms under braking conditions. Not a good thing.
I would tell her that you simply aren't comfortable enough with your abilities as a rider to give her a ride. Say you don't want to place her in danger and that if you killed her you wouldn't be able to live with yourself.
That's the worst! I've had larger woman say things like, "When am I gonna get a ride on that?" I've pretty much been able to laugh it off. Or say, "Did you bring your helmet?" Luckily none of them have asked repeatedly. I feel like if they just took a good look a the bike they'd know better. We're not talking Gold Wing, people. Anyway -- good luck with that.
Tell her you noticed a stress fracture in the metal of the rear shock cylinder... & you can't afford to replace it.
However, if you tell her this... you can NEVER get caught with another girl riding pillion.
Alternatively, you could take a look at the new BOMb, and cut off the back half of your frame, slide on a single seat :D
Do NOT tell her the truth.
You can tow a passenger that is bigger/heavier than you. It's not that big a deal. I've done it and I'm mega-shrinky-dink.
The deal is you don't WANT to give a heavy passenger a ride, so don't.
Just tell her you are not prepared/ uncomfortable with the responsibility; give the lone wolf speech and howl at the moon. Tell her you are self conscious cuz it's been a long time since you felt a woman close to you and you are not sure you could control yourself (tear up when you say this...). Go mono posto. Put an arm in a fake cast. Cast aside all dental hygine...whatever...
If she still wants to ride, suggest that she take the MSF or maybe she can find a nice fella with a Harley.

Braver man than me, getting on the back of your bike - I'd start sobbing uncontrollably once you hit the first corner, and started scraping hard bits. :'(
I'll stay under the sofa, thanks. [thumbsup]
I stay away from fat chicks. In all honesty I think she is madly in love with you and riding your monster is another way of saying she wants in your pants so watch out. Go find yourself a nice, attractive, thin girl and I think your problems will work themselves out. There are weight limits on these bikes as opposed to Harleys. Oh yeah, welcome to the forum.
you guys are a riot [laugh]
Ok she's not exactly fat, more chubby, or as Cartman puts it- festively plump.
Yeah that's the other wrinkle in all this. She wants me. I've told her I just want to be friends and I thought she was fine with that. But now it seems she's trying to win me over or something. I simply don't want her that close to me.
She also knows I give rides to other women. So I can't use any excuse that sounds like I don't allow for any passengers. Perhaps I could attempt to give her a very short and unthrilling ride just to get it over with and get her , you know... off my back [thumbsup]
(thanks for the welcome. I just came from the "other" Monster forum site that seems to be getting very little activity.)
going for a ride on your motorcycle is code for...... (please pm SacDuc for the answer)
[laugh]
this is the most hilarious thread ever...
but damn, that monster seat is tiny, unless the person has a small a$$ its not going to happen regardless of weight.
but also remember the heavier the person the better the chance the seat bends and cracks the taillight housing as the seat isn't the most rigid thing..
funny thread.
yeap you are screwed you ahve to give her a ride since she sees you giving think chicks a ride. [popcorn]
ftr... wheelies are an added bonus to extra weight aft ;)
So how much does she weigh - really?
You could easily print a sticker that specifies maximum weight capacity of the bike (ie 275lbs or so), stick it on the bike and just point to that. Who knows, baybe it will give her insentive to diet. Otherwise, your idea of a slow, unthrilling ride is not bad.
good luck to you,
Keith
To give a more accurate answer, I think we need to know how much weight are we talking. You and her. If you are 150, and she is 175, I don't see a problem. If you are 175, and she is 225, I would not do it.
mitt
Problem here is if you give and give her a ride, she start thinking maybe you like her. Then she'll start bugging you for other stuff: go out to dinner or movie, with just the two of you or what ever. You'll just start a slippery slope. Then she'll hang around and otherwise make finding a girl more suitable for the back of the bike more difficult for you.
Nip it in the bud. Tell her she's just a friend and seeing as you are aware of her feelings for you it isn't appropriate to go for a ride. Or tell her she is slightly too heavy. Sure her feelings are hurt either way but, most importantly, they aren't YOUR feelings. Like, say, if the bike got jacked up.
So there's that. She'll get over either option.
That's the main point here. If she's using it as a way to pursue your affections, it's not the ride that must be dealt with but the unwanted attention. Deal with that and the "take me for a ride" issue will likely disappear. ;)
It's possible to take a larger passenger (just not a hippo). It's weird, but possible and can be safe if you ride appropriately. Alot of it rests on the skill of the passenger and what the bike is set up to do.
Want her to not 1) ride on the bike and 2) chase you? It's easy. Let her on the back, pull out of the parking lot....
whack open the throttle, and leave her in the street. Problem solved.
Tell her you don't want to give her ride because she is too big - why bullshit her.
Suck it up and take her for a ride! Be the gentleman. Short, sweet, don't scrape the pegs around the corners, and be polite afterwards.
And then be busy...very, very busy for the next month or six.
Nope.
Either do some Hoggin' or let her know. or both. Maybe a rodeo if you let her know while your Hoggin'.
[laugh]
You guys are nuts...
She probably is close to my weight- I'm not going to ask her for it. The point being though she'll be way heavier than any passenger I've had before. Perhaps I could rig my bike with an electrical system that'll not allow the bike to start if the weight is too much (sort of like elevators that won't move with too much weight). That way I can just say, "sorry, my bike says it's not going to happen. Nothing I can do about it. Too bad huh?"
I could also look at it as a training exercise and to hell with her motives/feelings. It would be good practice for me and just broaden my motorcycling skills. I ain't opposed to chubby women. Perhaps this will just get me ready for the possibility of a chubby pretty woman whom I would enjoy giving a ride to someday.
However, the idea that she could crack my taillight housing is a bit concerning. That's why I intend to keep it slow and easy.
The other thing is I will know right away if she's fallen off the bike. The last time with a small woman when I went over a big bump going 70 I actually had to feel behind me to make sure she was still with me :)

I agree. Have some class and take her on a quick ride around the block. It will make her day. If she still tries to pursue you afterward have the same conversation you had before...you just want to be friends.

BRILLIANT!!!
I would agree with the "be a gentleman" posts. Depending on the weight of the 2 of you, it might be an issue. I haven't checked the load limits on the bike, but I'm sure it's probably in the manual. That might be a good out if you need one. But if she's pretty heavy she probably realizes it as well. But yeah, the hopelessly in love types are really difficult, bike or no bike. You definitely need to be straightforward about it but not to the point of being rude.
You could suck it up and sleep w/ her, then you won't have to give her a ride on the Ducati Monster.
Does she have appropriate gear? Tell her they don't make Italian riding gear for big girls and she will have to wait till you get old and buy a Harley.
I have only taken heavier passengers. The heaviest one was 2 and 1/4 times my weight. Just take it easy and remember the rear brake is your friend. [thumbsup]

:o 2 and a quarter times? Jebus, that must have messed with your conditioned responses.
i've given chubby chicks rides. the bike handled a bit oddly with the added weight, and the shift in placement, but if you keep to a "short, unexciting" ride it shouldn't be a big issue.
really, the limited physical area is the biggest issue. i just say no when i think they might swallow my seat up... 8)
i'm giving my '+1' to the short ride around the block, followed by a long stretch of being very busy.
Welcome to the DMF.
I'm actually quite impressed that we managed to keep this post somewhat polite and constructive.
My vote is for the short ride AND telling how you feel/don't feel about her. Be honest without hurting her and allow her and yourself to move on.

[laugh] That does sound like the more honorable thing. Sacrifice my own body (and mentality) for the good of my Duc. If the Italian's ever had mythology in their history I'm sure their gods would look upon me with favor for that one. [thumbsup]
She is a friend and I don't wanna crush her delicate feelings (she goes to counseling an all). So I think I'll just give her a little stroll around the block and just leave it at that. The deal is I just got done telling her, about 3 months ago, that I'm only interested in her as friends. I think she's been watching too many romantic movies where the persistent woman eventually wins over the man.
Well thanks for all the wise counsel here. I guess my main question has been answered here: yes it is totally possible to ride with a passenger that's heavier. I'll let you all know how it went... if it ever happens.
Whenever she asks you for a ride, distract her with some [bacon].

Don't demean yourself by associating with emotionally defective obese people.
lol jk... do what you think is best, but don't even passively lead her on either, cause that could be worse than just flat out telling her that you don't like fat chicks.
keep the rear seat cover on at all times.

Were you disappointed that I hung on even after you knocked my feet off the pegs? ;)
a) tell her shes too fat
b) have her sit on it, then slice ur tires and say the bike says no. Seriously its only $120. besides you need new tires anyway right?
c) pass her onto a friend whos okay with the big easy girls. besdies big girls need loving too.
d) Think about your jewles being rammed into the tank.
The best ride i ever gave to a girl was someone who was 5'11 125lbs (im 5'6 155lbs). When she sat on my bike, and had her arms on the tank it was like i was riding solo! She was very bony and when she held onto me, i felt like i was going to crack a rib. :-X
speaking of ribs!

ms inc - it's great you rode with a passenger heavier than you.
I'm worried in case I ever have to pillion the husband.
I'm @160 pounds
he's 300+ (he's 6'5" and wears it well)
That's 460+. Can the bike handle that? What if the belt breaks on his bike (like 3 times before) and I have to get him home? Obviously, we're not doing this for a joy ride, but I want to know if I should leave him standing by the road so we don't kill the bike (2006 S2R1000).

This is only marginally helpful. The owner's manual on the S4RS states that total bike weight including oil, fuel, coolant, etc... plus rider(s) and luggage cannot exceed 390 kilos. The bike weights 177 kilos dry. Does anyone know what fuel, oil, coolant, brake and clutch fluids weigh?

I sure wouldn't want to find out. That's an awful lot of weight at a high center of gravity to keep balanced at a stoplight. I'd expect your rear suspension would be bottomed out or close to it.
Just what I thought. First mod was to remove the passenger pegs, then the reflectors. Neither of us wants to find out if the bike can support both of us....
Although, last time his belt broke (we've since fixed the problem) he rode pillion on a 1999 BMW 1100R. First guy weighs 225 pounds, then chubby hubby behind him. You should have seen the ass end of that bike - but it held!!! Almost home, they hit the highway and just for shits and giggles guy #1 takes it to 100+ mph!!! You could have built a house out of the bricks my husband was shitting!!! [laugh]
(sure is funny when it happens to someone else!!!)
ms inc - another worry is that Windsor could 'steer' the bike with his weight. He does it with canoes, etc and I'm wondering how much that could affect the handling.
At a traffic light, his feet would be down, so there's no problem balancing us at a stop light. Same with getting on/off the bike - he just stands up (benefits of being tall).
The smallest passenger I've ever taken outweighed me by 60 pounds. The largest one was easily double my weight. It's nothing to be afraid of. And as msincredible said, it was the only time I've ever been able to flatfoot my bike.
So many good suggestions on how to get out of it, but I think you are doing the right thing by taking her on a short ride and then staying firm with the "just friends" thing.
Post up and let us know how it works out [cheeky]

Take her for a ride, it's not hard, just give her some pointers before you leave on how to lean and when you stop
to try and not lean on you, etc. My wife is a "curvy" woman and she is the best rider I have ever had hands down.
Plus chubby chicks tend to be alot more freaky than their thin counterparts, sure you just wanna be friends?
You might learn somethng, or get to try something you always wanted to.
Curvy girls rule.
stop hangin with big girls and tell her she should be running and not riding on the back of your bike. [evil]

I don't think it's exact, but lets see if we can get close. Mind you these amounts are generalized, someone correct me if I'm way off.
Fuel - 3.5 gal x ~6lbs/gal = ~21lbs
Oil - ~5 quarts x 1.7lbs/qt = 8.5lbs
Clutch/Brake fluid - ?? Anyone? Bueller? For the sake of argument, lets go with half a pound total.
Coolant....... Don't have any idea. I'm on an S2R so that aspect is N/A. Lets go over and say a gallon, so, give or take, 8lbs.
Total comes up to 38lbs or ~17.24 kilos. God I love google. That leaves ~195kilos, or 430lbs for driver, pillion, and what have you. Does anyone know if these ratings are based on frame strength or the overall stability of the suspension/linkage? It would be interesting to know if you could create a super monster with a few after market goodies.
Yeah that was a funny video. That's pretty much it right there. Although the chick in question for me isn't as heavy as the chick in the movie.
Pictures? What you expect me to take a pic of her ass and post it here?
I have thought about putting the seat cover back on and telling her the nuts are stuck so I can't take it off. But that won't put in end to her asking. I'm also afraid a little ride around the block will only make her want more. And she'll think she can get it from me [bang]
I should share a positive ride experience. I recently popped a woman's motorcycle cherry. She loved it, of course. She says she feels so free when she's riding [thumbsup] This girl totally gets it.

Nice job Jarvicious!
Here's the warning from the manual on weight limits. Sounds like more having to do with operations (suspension, chain, brake) than frame strength...
Warning
Failure to observe weight limits could result in poor
handling and impair the performance of your motorcycle,
and could result in loss of control.
Embrace the Badonkadonk! Or get a sidecar.

lose - to come to be without (something in one's possession or care), through accident, theft, etc., so that there is little or no prospect of recovery
You meant loose.
Go to the www.saltainmoto.com address and enter your name and another below. Your name will appear on the leather jacket of the Ducati rider. Did somebody already post that?
Just like at the fair where the sign says you must be this tall to ride this ride - I told a woman at work "you must weigh less than 135 lbs. to ride this ride". She's a very good looking 56 year old and weighs less than that. I'm ugly, not stupid.
LA
The greater the weight of the passenger in relation to the motorcycle and the driver, the more influence they will have over what the bike does. If they know how to ride it wont be an issue but if not they can really screw you up in a turn or just as you are about to stop when you have very little gyroscopic effect.
On a more positive note, fat chicks like to put things in their mouth.

Ummm ..... if his belt breaks then let him ride the monster and you can sit on the back.
As for photos, just let her sit on the bike at first and get someone to take some pix from the rear. Then show them to her and, as these are never flattering, even for thin ladies, she will be put off ever getting back on again. [thumbsup]

Not if he can swing the Gas or Grass option.

I think youd post better lap times riding drunk than you can with the max weight of the bike [laugh]
How drunk are we talking here. There's quite a difference between "a few drinks" and "I woke up next to the chick posing with the ninja". Hell, if you're running on a nascar track you could do the whole thing with one hand. Maybe even sitting backwards on the bike.
Well folks it happened. I gave her a ride and it was more than "just around the block". I wanted to get it all over with in the first ride so I hit the highways going 70.
Going fast with that amount of weight is no problem I found. But as soon as I started off I noticed a problem. Every time I started to slow down or shift into 2nd there she was squishing me to the tank. At the first stop I told her that if I"m braking she could just put her hands out onto the tank. That made things a little better.
The biggest problem I had was when I was almost at a stop and she shifted her weight. I felt the entire bike wobbling. I was picturing a broken ankle if we started to fall over.
However, we both survived and it's all over with. [thumbsup]
Giving her a ride was a class act, daftduc. No point in being nasty when you can be a gentlemen (and if you think thin hot chicks won't notice if you're nasty, think again). Who knows--maybe you recruited another rider for the ranks! [thumbsup]
Daftduc,
You are a true gentleman. My your good deed be repaid with good karma.
Glad you made it safely through the ride. [thumbsup]
Way to take the high road. My gf is only slightly over 100lbs and I can't stand it when she river dances at stop lights.
btw...she wasn't squishing you into the tank because you were braking. She was just trying to get close to her man! [laugh]
I am slightly saddened by this news. Are you British? Do you wear knickers and go by the name Pip? There is no need to be "gentlemanly" about it. "I'm sorry toots, no ride for you."
Glad the ride went okay.
Here is some reading to catch up on.

the question is was she pressing her WHOLE body to you or just sliding forward with her hips... ???
either way, I hope (unless you want it) she doesn't ask again and put you in the same predicament.

Seemed like the whole body to me. I did notice her hands going from my side then later my stomach and then later they were up close to my chest. I'm sure she knew what she was doing.

Being from the south, generally it is the other way around. In this case, i can make the exception.
well she got a good feel then from what it seems. I would say she has other motivations (than just a ride) if she asks again.
hey, no one has asked this. Do you like her that way? No one should judge you if you like big girls.

he's stated in the OP that he's not into her, and has told her so. Just friends. He's been clear from the git-go.
I know you already told her that you weren't interested in her except as friends, and I want to commend you for your "gentlemanly conduct" (read: "pussiness"). As long as you're clear with her and there's no doubt she's got the message, than then keep doing what you want (tell her to stop clinging, or no more rides, or don't call me anymore you psycho b1tch) with a clear conscience.
Oh, and give us details when you get out of the shower and she's standing there with rope and an evil grin.... [popcorn]

Well, Daft is a gonner now. The big lady got a whif of the pheremones and touch of his man flesh - now there is no turning back. Be careful if she starts bringing you little baked goods.

Mags gave me baked goods....a couple of times. lm's gonna be pissed.
That was a great thing to put someone else's feelings first.
Glad it worked out for you.
You all are interesting. I'm everything from a wuse to a gentlemen (with some implying the two are the same thing).
I appreciate the compliments and all but I wonder if what I did wasn't as grand as some are thinking. It was just a motorcycle ride. Or... is there no such thing as just a motorcycle ride?
One problem has resulted though from this ride. I always thought that I would be open to dating/marrying someone that would be considered chubby. But after that ride I realized how much I don't like giving a ride to a chubby woman. But I very much would want to give rides to my gf/wife. Hmmm...
Sounds like you have a new criterion for finding the right woman: #47 Skinny enough to ride pregnant dog!
New criterion for finding the right woman: Rides her own bike and can give you rides.
Class act for taking her out on a ride.
I am interested to hear if she tried to make any advances since the ride.

It's more a function of how active and fit she is. If she can handle a mountain bike (for example) she'll be great on the monster.
A skinny idiot can make you feel just as nervous as a fat girl.
So get an athlete and you'll be in heaven!

I commend you on each of those captions. The first is probably the best.
