I don't care if it was Rossi or Stoner riding, I am not interested in being a Pillion passenger!

Would absolutely scare the **** out of me, but I'd love to have that opportunity and that experience all the same.

I hate being on the back of a bike, but it would hard to turn down such an opportunity. :smt116

I heard one of the older racers could do his pb +1 second with his son on the back at his local track (I have no idea which one as I'm a tawt).

Ron Haslam and Liam Haslam at Donington. I read it in Bike magazine a couple of years ago. Please forgive me if I'm completely and utterly wrong. I hope I'm not. I don't generally talk sh it.

I'd not be able to get the bike on the ragged edge like that, so whilst I'd love a go myself, being pillion with Randy Mamola must be adrenaline on another level.

You're not wrong.

I was at Donington the year Ron Haslam took a woman around the circuit , they had Mic`d her up . I have never laughed so hard in my life listening to that .

It would be an expierence and a half to go pillion on a bike with a Moto GP/WSB/BSB/TT rider riding the bike

OoOoOOoOoOh I'd love it! I think Ralph's term of grinning on for dear life would be most apt at this point :D Saying that, I'm still getting amazed by the SV's possible lean angles, but on the back of a racer, well definitely another level. Probably not an experience I would enjoy as much as I used to now that I ride my own but definitely one I could have a crack at :D

Not one for pillion really there is one or people have/would again if needed too. This though, oh hell yeah after i brought some adult pampers. I think the words "again, again" would be said.

The result from my enquiries: Ron’s in the office now and I’ve asked him, he says ‘probably, yes, many years ago when Leon was little and there was no weight to him’.

You can mate, you need to donate some money to Riders for Health, a charity set up by Randy Mamola http://www.riders.org/default.aspx Toby and Julian were on about it on Eurosport last season I think, cant remember how much to secure a ride though, seem to remember someone mentioning a grand but that seems quite cheap to me

Actually saw Mamola doing a few laps at the donington GP a few years back, the one where JT fell off on the first lap and got back on again, didnt seem to be holding back too much, looked pretty awesome tbh :)
