Animating vehical driver

#1

Hey so I am wondering what some good techniques for animating a character I need to stay seated on a vehicle might be. I need to be able to animate him like I would any other time but I need him to stay sitting on his motorcycle and following its movements until I want him to leave it. It will be more than just linear movement It’s a motorcycle so it has to tilt when turning and I would want him to do the same. Basically just wondering if you use fancy constraints or just match key frames and try to eliminate slip.

Thanks guys,
Nick

I think I figured out a good enough way of doing it with the use of this thread http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php/t-640645.html and this tool http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/scripts-plugins/animation/c/zv-parent-master for anyone interested in the future.
