Is it ok to have two people on these bikes. I have a genuine Thumpstar, and was wondering, because the last few days i've been out all day and allways had someone on the back.

I was amazed at the power of this bike even with two people on it. They are awesome.

I just don't want to ruin my swingarm, shock or snap my swingarm bolt.

P.s im about 10st (140pounds) and the other people i carry are about that aswell. so thats 20st (280pounds) on this bike.
 
Oh and heres a picture of me just sitting on my Thumpy. Listening to her gentle hum.

I've taken 2 people on my bike and it seems to lose alot of power carrying 2 and i'm sure its not good on the motor/suspension.
 
hey at my local skatepark ppl always ride on the oval with 2 people on there bikes and they seem to go actualy prety fast on grass with the other added wieght of another person and iv seen alot of ppl riding thumpsters with 2 people on them
 
hey those forks look differant, what year model??
 
by the looks of you the other person must have been a 4 year old to fit on..
 
Nevermind the wear and tear on the bike, it's plain stupidity and extremely dangerous.

I've seen some pretty bad crashes where people were doubling their mate.
 
Ive had a bad experience on the back of a bike.
My mate was gone down a steep gravel hill and he came up to a sharp corner he took it tofast and the bike sliped out from underneath us it was bloody hurt i got BAD gravel rash
 
From the person who said the person on the back must of been about 4, in that picture, im leaning backwards and croutching alot.
I can easily get another person on the back.
 
That's a bit harsh.... I don't think these any need for that sort of abuse....
 
Just look at the weight rating of your bike. If its rated to 150 then it 'should' be on with 2 people.

A real test would be doing a tandem jump :O
