how to stablize harley while wife gets on?

To ensure a safe and smooth experience while your wife mounts your Harley-Davidson, follow these steps for parking, mounting, and additional tips to keep the bike stable:

Parking

1. Find a Level Surface: Park on a flat, stable area to prevent the bike from tipping.
2. Engage the Kickstand: Make sure the kickstand is fully deployed and secure to keep the bike steady.
3. Use a Bike Stabilizer (Optional): If you have one, a bike stabilizer can provide added stability, especially on uneven ground.

Mounting

1. Mount the Bike First: Climb on the bike first, keeping both feet firmly planted to stabilize it.
2. Assist Her: Offer her a hand or hold her waist to help her mount. She should step on the passenger foot peg, hold onto your shoulders or waist, and then swing her leg over to settle onto the seat.
3. Steady the Bike: Use your body weight and maintain a firm grip on the handlebars to counterbalance any shifts in weight as she gets on.
4. Communicate: Use clear verbal cues, letting her know when you’re ready and coordinating your movements to avoid sudden weight shifts.

Additional Tips

• Practice Together: The more you practice, the smoother the mounting process will become.
• Consider a Passenger Backrest: Adding a backrest can give her extra stability and comfort on the ride.
• Check Tire Pressure: Proper tire pressure improves stability, especially with a passenger.
• Wear Protective Gear: Both of you should wear helmets, jackets, gloves, and other protective gear for a safe ride.

By following these steps, you’ll provide a secure and comfortable experience for both of you, making your rides together more enjoyable and safe
