We came to a complete stop. The bike was stopped. We dropped the bike. Bye. Today we interrupt our regular schedule program while we are... From B&D USA, while we're... From B&D USA. We are Boos and Jeans riders. I am Rich. I'm Kate. And today we put out an information video while we are on the road because when our newly subscribers came up with a question, his name is Tom Davis. And Tom Davis, we're going to ask you that question today in this video. Give him a phone. And that question is... What does the passenger mount say when riding two up? Does the passenger mount first or the operator? And whether or not the passenger is first, can you show us that process? So that's what we're getting ready to do for you right now Tom and the rest of our subscribers. Yes, because if you got that question, I'm sure some other people haven't been used to ride two up. Probably have the exact same question. And although we've very seldom ride two up, we do ride two up. What? Stop. You know, see she messes up the video, right? Okay, so we're going to talk about that right now. And just to get your answer right off the bat, and then we're going to demonstrate on a decline. We're on a slight decline right here and for that purpose, we want to do this video for that purpose. We're going to demonstrate that answer that question. The answer is, it's always, always 100% the operator decision. I see you with the side of my eyes. Okay, all right, all right. It's always the operator decision of when the passenger mounts. Right. So in this case, when we on a decline, I 100% of the time mount first. First of all, try not to park on a decline, but 100% of the time. And I'm going to show you why I always mount first. Get on the bike right now. And I'm just going to mount from the left side. You can mount from the left or right side, whichever you choose. And we made a video on mounting big bikes also. So make sure you check that video out. I will pull it up right here, right there. So you can check that video out. We'll be really getting to details about mounting a big bike. So what I'm going to do now is just use the momentum to mount the bike now. This is one of the reasons I do it. It's always step with here. So check that video. I'll use you what I'm talking about. And let my momentum get me on the bike. Pull the bike up off the decline, straighten out the wheel, and then kick on way for my instructions to mount it. I have a backrest on. So if you don't have a backrest on, it may be a little easier. So we're not normally do. I have two points of contact with the wheel. Right. Two points of contact with my feet. So that's four. And then controlling and stabilizing the bike with my feet and my hand. And I'm always 100% of the time you should squeeze your right brake so there will be no movement just in case you aren't ready. So once I brace it, remember we're on the end client. Because it's hard to lift a big bike to begin with. So we've done a video on how to lift your big bikes. Check that video out also. So if it's hard to lift a big bike by itself, imagine trying to do with a passenger. Why are you on the end client? We all can't put in people's hands. We can't put in their way even. So I will get here. I'll be ready for a cake. And I will say, okay, go ahead or she would ask. You ready for me to get on? Yes, go ahead. And I'm ready. One thing, hold on, I'll get on yet. One thing I forgot. I always 100% of the time keep the kickstand down. The reason is, hello. The reason is if it's something happened and she pulled a bike. For some reason, I'm not stable as I thought it was. She pulled a bike down. It's coming on the kickstand. It's strong enough to where it's not going to break even on the decline. So keep your kickstand down on the decline. I even do it when we're on flash service also. Right. I'm ready for the break, leading forward because I have a backrest. And let her get on. I'm ready for the get on. And once she on, then everything goes as normal. Smooth, take off, and smooth stuff. Just like you would do without a parachute. Nothing changed. In that case, not a single thing. Check out our video also. And I'm plugging in a lot of videos. Right. And I'm going to start and stop. Everything got to be perfect. Not as she's on a bike. When we come to a stop. And do she diss my first or do I diss my first? It's still the operators' choice. Normally, I would diss my first to make it easy for her. But as a passenger, you kind of listen to what the operator says. Because if you start dissing, and he's not ready. He's not ready. You remember that time? Bike one time we were in Utah. Yes, yes. And he came to a complete stop. The bike was stopped. We dropped a bike. But he was not prepared for me to do what I did. The bike stopped, and I did this. Yes. And I was getting off. And he said, what are you doing? What are you doing in the bike just? I went over. I said, oops. We laughed about it. What happened when I was the bike without it? The bike went down. We just took the girl. Because we went to the store. Yes. We just took the groceries off and bought them up to the room. And then we went back and picked up the bike. I had no hurry to pick the bike up. We laughed about it. So you have to make sure, as a passenger, make sure that the operator is ready for you to make any moves that you are intending to do. Yes, because that one, I mean, fortunately, it turned out perfect. It could have been tragic. What happened? I pulled in. Yeah. Pulled in straight. And came to my smooth stop. Why is the video? I'm telling you, came to my smooth stop where only, and only my left foot was down. My right foot was still on my brake. And I was just about to get my bike stable when she started moving and got off the bike. I stood up. But anyway. And the bike went down. I didn't fall off the bike. Did you? It fell and I was still sitting on the lady. Right. So we're going to continue with this. So when dismounting, when I'm on an end climb, always like my wheel to my left, make sure it's completely locked. I can dismount to the right because I normally step back. But for the most part, I dismount for the left to the left, grab the handlebar, step off the bike, and I'm off. And the reason I dismount first, because it's extremely easier for her to get off the bike, then it is with me on the bike first. So let me step on the way so you can see. And of course, I had a back rest. So how easy it is for her to dismount without me being in the way. I just pushed the back rest forward, lift, swing my leg over, and I'm off. When I lift, I'm lifting on the foot peg down here. And I swing my leg over and I get off. And now, the time when he's not on the bike first, when I get on first, I'm going to show you how I do it. He's not here. I lean his first. I grab the handlebars. Lean on it so I can still have the bike on this side with the kickstand. Then I just get on like this. I put my leg over and I'm ready for him to get on it. And in this case, I do not use this because I don't want to slangle over. Knock off the bike. I do a step through. And when I do a step through, if you flex for me to do this, I use the momentum. And you can see it's still on the decline. I mean, the decline. I use momentum at the same time to lift the bike. As long as my handlebars aren't locked because I straighted up. So I'm going to do the momentum. I'm going to step with my left momentum with the right and use the whole momentum to get the bike off the sidestand while I have a passenger. Step left momentum, bike up. Handlebar straight. I'm ready to roll. Right. Just that simple. And when getting off the bike, like I said, probably 99.9% of the time, I would get off first. So we're going to show you what happens or how we get off the bike. I can't get off the bike when I'm still on the bike. Right. Just in case we have a location where I need to move the bike. I say, okay, once you get off here, I'm going to go park over there. In that case, I still do the exact same thing. So we're riding. I come to a nice, smooth, complete stop. My right foot is still on the brake. Then I go to stabilization. I stabilize the bike. Then I actually put my kickstand down and go to the same process, lean our lean forward. And then she would get off the bike, whichever way she can. Because I don't know what she's doing back there. Put the back rest up and I use rich for leverage. So I'm not able to camp. Grab on in here. And same way. Get off with my legs down. Ta-da! I say it, ta-da! And we all sit and ready to roll. Right. Now for those of you who used to ride in two up all the time, and some things they did, do the same thing. And I hope this answer the question for those of you just basically start riding two up. Like we said before, we don't ride two up that often. But we do have procedures and we try to stick by especially if we're on a decline. Exactly. So if you have everything to add, make sure you're adding in the comment section. We answer all in every comment that we see. Anything else, baby? No. Okay, that's all we have for right now, Tom. So I hope this answer your question. And anybody else who's watching this video on mounting with your passenger. And this is a multi-tune. With a passenger. But if you're all riding, remember, ride long, ride hard, ride strong, and most importantly. Ride safe. From Moose and Gene's riders, I'm rich. And I'm king. We are Roman the USA. We are Roman the USA. We out. Peace. I'll go ride two up.
