This video answers the question, "Is it possible to practice on the cone course riding 2-up?" The answer is simple. Yes it is! You should be as proficient riding 2-up as you are riding 1-up. In fact, it's more important that you're proficient and confident in your slow speed motorcycle riding skills while riding 2-up because now you're responsible for the safety and well being of another person. Just always keep in mind that the same rules and techniques apply. Nothing changes.
What does PRELOAD mean?
PRELOAD:
Engaging the throttle to raise the RPM’s (revolutions per minute) above idle and holding the throttle there, with the clutch pulled in (no power to the rear wheel, “in reserve” “PRELOADED”). This process will make power to the rear wheel available to the rider immediately when the clutch is opened up. There’s no need for the rider to be concerned with twisting the throttle for power because it’s already PRELOADED.

Thank you honey for taking me on the cone course. I felt safe and had so much fun riding with you! 😘

I normally take a back seat (pun intended) and just enjoy watching my husband make magic with his motorcycle. I know, I know, I’m a little biased, but he is so good that I am often in awe! I just wanted to jump on and thank you all so much for your kind words of my riding, your warm wishes and the heartfelt support of Robert’s passion of “Paying It Forward”! To all the wives and significant others that are a little apprehensive about going for a leisurely ride or practicing on the cone course—I leave you with this advice. The more you get on the motorcycle and ride, the more comfortable you will be on it! So the lessons from Robert apply to the passenger as well, “Practice, practice, practice”! Happy New Year PRELOADERS!
