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. |

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

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) |

Re: do you like passengers
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.

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! |

Re: do you like passengers
No not really. As a shortie I'm never both feet steady down. Have done it tho, but prefer not too.
