 |  Riding 2up was alot of fun this past weekend! I went on my first 2up adventure on my C50. She had never rode before so I just instructed her to remain seated and follow the bike, not me. Well after she got used to the fact I have to shift 4 times to get up to speed (helmet tap was kind of annoying), and that she shouldn't rest her helmet on the back of mine. We were good to go. The C50 had plenty of power, good braking (total of 300lbs between the 2 of us), and it handled great on slow or fast turning. It was only a total of about 120miles round trip, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Also pretty nice when her body presses up against me when slowing down.  Anyway.. just thought I'd share.

|  good for you  FYI A back rest pretty much eliminates the helmet tapping-(talking from experience) and makes her alot more comfortable-(my wife said so).

| Ya, was a nice trip from Rome NY, up north to Old Forge. Nice smooth roads, nice turns, great wooded scenery.
