I'm about 200lbs, average build, 6'2. My bike is a 1981 Kawasaki 750 LTD. My girlfriend however is a fair bit larger than me, at least 250lb, rounder, and shorter (5'1 or so).
Now that I'm finally getting my bike back soon she wants me to take her on the back, and to be completely honest, I'm not comfortable with passengers period. It's not that I'm afraid I couldn't do it, but because I'd be held fully responsible even if they made me crash. It's me accepting the responsibility of hurting someone else if things go astray. This being said, IF I decided to cave and take her out on the back of my bike, how can I safely do it? What considerations do I have to take and do differently?
