do you like passengers
 

i really like taking my friends

Re: do you like passengers
 

I thought there was nothing better than going for a blast on your own - but it turns out I was wrong, I actually really enjoy going for a ride with my wife on the back.

I think it is something to do with the having someone to share the buzz and excitement with.

Same here. In days gone by pillions are just fun spoilers. Now a days though, I enjoy MrsApe riding pillion almost as much as I enjoy riding solo. Notice the almost.

If I were on the Deauville the I would actually prefer having Jo on the back. Makes riding the Deauville almost worth while. :lol:

Never taken a pillion, may try and find someone foolish enough to put their life in my hands this summer!

Let's not get carried away here !! :p :D

Re: do you like passengers
 

Really, you sure that it just doesn't give you a very good excuse for having it in the first place :D




To be fair, I know I could get my Mrs on the back if I had something like a Dullsville too..... (But maybe that's why I don't have one)

Yick, absolutely hate it.

But then I'm teeny and weigh less than your average sparrow - so 99% of pillions are going to be bigger and heavier than me...

... which is just going to really mess up the dynamics of the bike. ;)

Ahh, the joys of an insurance discount for saying you'll never take a pillion. :twisted:

I'll tell you later. Today is D-Day for me n the good lady - first time out together.

Re: do you like passengers
 

Depends on the mood & the reason for pillion.

If I'm taking a pillion just to get them from point A to point B. Sod that, they can use a car, or walk! My bike is no taxi!

If I fancy a jolly up in the hills with someone, well, mood dependant. If I'm in the mood for a sharp blast, pillions are bad. If I'm in the mood for a bimble, hop aboard!

No not really. As a shortie I'm never both feet steady down. Have done it tho, but prefer not too.
