Warning
Bonneville Bobber
This motorcycle is designed for use
as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of
carrying a rider on his/her own.
Operation of this motorcycle with a
passenger is dangerous and could lead
to loss of control and an accident.
Warning
Do not carry a passenger unless he
or she is tall enough to reach the
footrests provided.
A passenger who is not tall enough
to reach the footrests will be unable
to sit securely on the motorcycle and
may cause instability leading to loss of
control and an accident.
Warning
The handling and braking capabilities
of a motorcycle will be affected by the
presence of a passenger.
The rider must make allowances for
these changes when operating the
motorcycle with a passenger and
should not attempt such operation
unless trained to do so and without
becoming familiar and comfortable
with the changes in motorcycle
operating characteristics that this
brings about.
Motorcycle operation without making
allowances for the presence of a
passenger could lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Your passenger should be instructed
that he or she can cause loss of
motorcycle control by making sudden
movements or by adopting an
incorrect seated position.
The rider should instruct the
passenger as follows:
-
It is important that the passenger
sits still while the motorcycle is in
motion and does not interfere with
the operation of the motorcycle.
- To keep his or her feet on the
passenger footrests and to firmly
hold onto the seat strap or the
rider's waist or hips.
- Advise the passenger to lean with
the rider when travelling around
corners and not to lean unless the
rider does so.
Warning
Do not carry animals on your
motorcycle.
An animal could make sudden and
unpredictable movements that could
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
