I have been told that riding is about communication between both partners. I have 2 questions to ask, seeing as I can no longer do as I please on my bike.

<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Question 1:

When needing to release gas, does the pilot:

A)    Tell the stoker so that he/she can turn away or hold his/her breath?

B)     Just let rip and hope it is not a bakebeans/sauerkraut ripper that will half kill your stoker ?

 

Question 2:

When needed to clear the throat or nasal passges, does the pilot

A)    Tell the stoker so that he/she can take evasive action?

B)     Just blow as hard as possible and hope that the stoker is thin enough not to get caught in the crossfire?

B in both cases

[Delgado]

B in both cases

B in both cases

In the case of Question 1 make sure that it is so good that the shammy cream shows on the outside of your pants - speak to Delgado on this one for tips

You will find that your stoker are inspired to higher performance levels in the evation process, with the added bonus that the "standing problem" is not so big any more

I just don't want my stoker to sit behind me for 105km shouting...."stop it....I keel you"

[The Saint]

Put it this way Speed Devil. The stoker is normally the one who is least experienced therefore there is a learning curve. Farting and snotting in your stokers face is just pure incentive for them to get better and to aspire to one day becomming a pilot.

I might add that given the above you are indirectly doing them a BIG favour.
