I've decided to go pick up my girl this weekend on the bike instead of driving my Suburban. I calculate the gas savings will be $50 picking her up tomorrow (Friday) and bringing her back on Sunday....yes FIFTY dollars. It's 75 miles one way so 150 miles round trip with a total of 300 miles between Fri and the Sun.
Anyway I have a dilemma.....I don't like riding without using my back rest....it's not so bad when the wife is behind me because I can lean back on her but when it's my 12 yr old girl there's nothing to lean back on....she is SO SKINNY !
So how can I solve this dilemma while still having something behind her to lean back on as well as me as well as something to carry her stuff in that she'll bring with her (clothes etc.)
Well here's my answer. Those are NICE 3 inch thick memory foam seat pads....I used to use one as my seat pad on the bike but have since got a more normal one as you see. I have no doubt she will be comfy with one under her butt and one to lean back on ! I have a bungee net to put over the top of the milk crate to hold her stuff from flying away.
My only minor concern is I hope the little curl back at the top of the sissy bar doesn't smack her in the face shield but I don't think so. If I get to her house and it doesn't fit her right I can always take the back cushion off and slide the sissy bar back and just suffer myself with nothing to lean back on.
But it's worth a try eh ?? Brilliance OR White Trash ??
