Do we need to figure out a code system do you think? If I said slow down, you wouldn't anyway, so it's a bit pointless.

what can I say... she knows me well...

Next question Ian, What should a lady taking a pillion do?

get someone of the fairer sex to write the next chapter......
or point out to the American writer of the above-
his mysoginistic ways.....

I've only had my missus on the back and her friend another time.

On my 636, the missus hung onto the handles and used her legs to grip around my waist and kidneys. That was okay but i couldn't accellerate very fast...

Her friend on the other hand had her arms wrapped around my waist and sat further forward... This was much better durning accelleration but when I jumped on the anchors... Let's just say my voice raised a few octaves when I spoke...

I suppose practice makes perfect... But just be careful with your partner's best friend...

hmmm slippery, very slippery.
But in all seriousness though, the little chat about what to do geting on and off etc... is all good and very valuable.
Had an over weight friend on the back once, I can say that cos they'll don't get on here, and when I leant over for a roundabout, they leant the other way and we nearlt we A O T.

Now a fail safe method is to put a little red sticker or something on the dead centre off the back of your helmet, or choose a particular spot on the graphics. All the pillion has to do is follow that dot. You lean, they'll lean. You sit up, they sit up. You fall off, they fall off.

Well actualy, I landed in the prickle bushes ten foot away and Bluefly landed on the ground with the bike. So she didnt follow close enough.
So she decided to get her own bike after that effort.

Seriously though, works a treat for me any way.

F#$ckin red sticker my ass!! I was just a f%#kin natural. F#$k you!

HAHAHAHAHA.. Domestic.. ROFL

ROFLMAO. AAaaahhh, i got tears in my eyes.

woohoo.....
fooolly sick like right on domo happening here....
my money is on the aaaarrrh...fairer one.....

hehe

crikey, so much info so quick! thanks for that i guess ill have to take the sis for a quick ride on the weekend.
thanks again!

took my brother for a ride as soon as i was able to as i wanted to see what it would be like ... apart from the suspension on the zzr bottoming out with both of us on it wasn't too bad. i'd rate him a pretty decent pillion though. the most important thing is to have them comfortable and not trying to lean all over the place when you're cornering.

My other half jumps on the back of my bike all the time and is happy for me to go tear-arsing through the hills, or up and down Gorge Rd.

Thanks to my alternative teaching styles, she knows how to be a good pillion. (Alternative teaching style? I just yell abuse at her when we stop. "What the FUCK do you think you're doing???" - seems to work a treat!)

My older brother wont get on the back of my bike. Not since the time I wheelied between cars at the traffic lights with him on the back.

Terrie is good as a pillion. tho she does have to make ammends sometimes after sliding into me as she slips on seat. I don't have too many probs with her leaning incorrectly, only seldomly had to use Jase's alternative teaching style... LOL

Cheers

On the issue of sliding, my wife puts both her hands on the side of my hips towards the back.

T puts her hands between me and the tank... hmm well thats another story...
