Check out the below video provided courtesy of YouTube.com, which was produced by Abate. There are some very good points made in this video, however frankly I think it’s a bit corny myself.
I have written about many of the safety points mentioned in the video on this Blog. However, some bikers and motorcyclists may prefer a video version instead.
It is obvious that the days of women riding in the back of a motorcycle exclusively are over. You’ll notice in this video the woman is giving most of the safety tips, and actually rides the motorcycle with a man on the back riding bitch. That is the part of the video that I think is corny. I personally have ridden motorcycles for many years and have never seen a man riding bitch on the back of a motorcycle, with a female driving the motorcycle.
I’ll tell you what, times of sure changed. In any case check out the video and see if you can learn a few pointers. It never hurts to be preached to you from time to time.
I will give you a hint about the video; there is a major safety violation contained in the video. See if you can find it!

Welcome, my name is 
Ack! You’ve got a great blog here, but that phrase “sitting bitch” makes me cringe. I know “riding pillion” doesn’t have the same ring to it, but… oh well. I’ve actually had guys sitting pillion on rides, mostly small trips across town or something, but once on a spontaneous, week-long tour.
I interviewed a woman I met while I was touring the USA. She was a brand new rider setting off on a long journey and in the first days became overwhelmed at the perceptions coming at her of women and motorcycling. The interview is published online. Here’s the link: http://www.motorcyclemisadventures.com/americanborders/borders06.html
Thanks for listening! Meantime, I’m enjoying the rest of your entries, a lot of good safety info, thanks!

Sorry about the term Carla 🙂 It is an old time biker term going back to the 60’s. I am not a sexist but sometimes I tend to use the phrases of the biker world. As you can see from my articles I promote women riding motorcycles. I must admit, I would probably laugh if I saw a guy on the back of a motorcycle being driven buy a gal. It’s a man thing if you know what I mean!
I will check out your article and make sure you check back soon!

I just checked out your book site, and the article. Very nice. Maybe we can collaborate and I can publish some of your articles on here. I also signed up for your newsletter.
If you are ever in Southern California send me an email. I will take you on some great rides.
