ARE THERE ANY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PASSENGER ON PILLION AND 100-140 LBS OF BALLAST IN CAR?
HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET. PROS AND CONS? SAFE?
First of all, are you aware that you started two new threads asking the exact same question?
Regarding the pros and cons, though generally speaking this is ill-advised, the answer to your question would vary considerably if your pillion weighs 75 lbs and you are driving a Goldwing rig with a Hannigan Astro as compared to a 200 lb pillion on a KLR with an outback-style car.
So, provide us with the specifics--weight of yourself and your pillion, bike, and car.
Have owned 5 rigs but Rig #2 is my current one!
