Gotta agree with ATGATT. Dress for the crash or suffer the consequences if Fate strikes you down. We did some two up shortly after getting the Strom in 05 but I was never really comfortable as I was still a little at odds with the bike. I really think a rider should get in a long season and lots of miles ridden safely before doing two up. And above all, talk to the passenger about sitting still and not unbalancing the bike. Communication can be a problem also. Develope a system of touches, pokes or squeezes to communicate. This seemed to work better than trying to hear in traffic with helmets on. We did try a com set but it was useless due to self generated noise after 30 mph. We did have some good rides though. After a top box for Lynda to lean back on she was much more comfy and actually nodded off a few times on the highway. A back rest for the passenger is a must in my opinion as they will be feeling more secure and not thinking of flipping backwards onto the road.
