dave..ive found wot works best for me with a pillion is the looking over the
opposite shoulder..it doesnt work for u, thats fine..just sumthin i brought
up, maybe ppl can try there own things & comment??
if they move there ASS that makes a huge difference..i just found if they
lean under me for a view, it over tips, if they keep there head behind me,
they cant see shit.....then again i dont ride very hard with sum1 sitting on
my "suicide seat"

> neka, every time a pillion leans over my right shoulder in a left hand
corner, i always tell whoever it is to fkn move LEFT.. bike goes funny
unless theyre looking over the proper shoulder, i like being able to lean
the bike over a bit more!

suspension feels like its actually working.. still, the pillion's got to
have balls if youre goin flat chat cuz thats the only way the bike's gonna
handle the way it should when you take it thru a corner at speed.

i can just see it, going around a roundabout and both of us going head over heals.

poor roundabout........

AMCN's yearbook has a 2 page spread on how to be a pillion. One of their best bits of advice is:
"Don't cover the riders eyes."

Can't argue with that.

Apart from all the stuff posted previously - Its bad enough when you get the tap (or jab) for wheelying, speeding, checking out other chicks etc but Under NO circumstances ever buy an intercom or it will be yap yap yap in your ear all the way!

hahaha well said..my ex wanted an intercom & i said "thats the reason i take
the bike & not the bloody car, so i dont have to put up with u talking"....i
got a slap, but made my point!!
