I do a lot of two up riding but I’d rather have it set up for just me as that’s when I do all my hard riding. I take it easy with the gf on the back ---

I take it easy with the gf on the back Depends on your gf’s weight, it still might not work. IMO, you best bet is once you have your SAG set for solo, depends on where your shock preload will be, you can always add a few notches when you ride two up. ---

I might be in, depends on if I take my Dad out that day. I have mine adjusted to the recommended for my weight, which has the preload at its max so I think theres not much to play with outside of dampening. ---

Yeah, it is the father’s day weekend. That’s why I put tentative. If it works better for most people, we can do 6/22 weekend. ---

I’ll probably show up to shoot the shit, already have my bike set up as best as stock settings will allow for my weight. Now instead of it being a bronco, it’s more like a pissed off pony. :rofl ---

6/23 would definitely work better for me personally. The 16th I got something planned with a lady. 😉 ---
