Well, what is it?
Have seen many posts selling "driver and rider" seats. Does that mean two seats for the operator of the vehicle?
Always considered that the "rider" is the operator and the one on the back is the "passenger"- even though they are riding.
Been that way a long time and "rider" is used by most manufacturers (bikes/seats) to refer to the one who operates the bike.
If you ask someone about bike ownership you don't say "what kind of motorcycle do you drive?" - you say "what kind of bike do you ride?".
Anybody ever notice this?

You ride a bike and you drive a car...

and you are a passenger in both if you are not on the bars or wheel.

Rider and passenger for me unless it's a trike or a sidecar rig, then it's driver and whatever. cooldude

With the Valkyrie.....logic goes out the window

The correct terms would be Pilot and co-pilot.
