Not that I have a lot of passengers, just my mom, sister and brother-in-law once in a while. None of them get sick, even riding on track or autocross with me although my sister doesn't like riding in my car for long because she has a chronic back injury and she finds the seat and suspension hard on her back.

It worked - in the years leading up to TBDRMSAO** (2016) no one in that group or one of its successors ever crashed. It works wonderfully in cars as well. That said, running the "twisted sisters" or the "tail of the Dragon," or the Angeles Crest at "the pace" will still be hard for a number of passengers to "stomach." My approach is to try to be sensitive to passengers' reactions or ask in advance and adjust my personal "Pace" accordingly. ** The Bitch Done Run My Sorry Ass Over - and ended my motorcycling career.

Will think more about this technique as it’s obviously better than what I do.

I did a lot of "The Pace" riding when I had a street bike. I feel like the Twins don't have enough engine braking to really do it the same way, but the principles apply.

If it was just one person, I'd probably guess that maybe they get motion sickness or don't like how sports cars ride. But it sounds like you have quite a number of people that don't like riding with you so it's likely your driving.
Smooth is fast. That means no throwing the car into corners. When I drive, I always aim to have have imperceptible accel/decel/cornering g-forces. |

That’s the bummer with the pandemic, the pizza has taken a perceptible dive in quality. I remember when I could dine in the cheese was evenly distributed. Now whenever I get take out the cheese is all kinds of smashed to one side of the crust. It’s like they don’t even care anymore.
