Besides, if the passenger has their arms wrapped snugly around the rider, there's no way they're going to get pulled off the back, no matter how much the sensation.

It's all about physics.
Nah! Tell the truth. Its all about getting chicks to press their jublies into you. :p

That's what's referred to as a "fringe benefit", the offset of which is having a guy passenger smushed up against your back.

In my circles, two guys on a 2-wheeler makes you one thing.

Sounds like your circles are a little insecure about their sexual orientation....

Busting stones? Is that something like busting chops?

Some of you may agree that the most dangerous part of a bike is the nut holding the handlebar.

What are ya'll in such an all-fired hurry for? Give me a sailboat doing about 6-8 knots, and I'll circle the world!
Yup, beating with the spinnaker sheeted in hard, one arm wrapped around the stays, and easing off just enough to keep the rudder in the water.....
my fav point of sail.

Circus clowns ?

I say loud pipes save lives.
When drivers can't hear police and fire sirens thru their closed windows with the AC and radios running, I'm thinking they cant hear the exhaust-pipes of the m/c either. But at least it scares the horses and warns the pedestrians to get outa the way! ;)

Yep, except a little lower on the (male) body. :D

BigJon,

Around these here parts, "Busting Chops" refers to physical acts of violence committed against someone, whereas "Busting [alternate word for stones]" refers to overworking someone, as in: I don't know why the boss is busting my [alternate word for stones], we're well ahead of schedule".

I had a Honda 50.....but the 45 MPH top end scared me. I prefer the safer avenue of B.A.S.E. jumping for my thrills....... :p
