Does your other half like riding pillion? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Last ex liked the bike but didn't like me being on one. She would eventually have gone out on it, but we broke up before then.
Current girl I'm seeing is keen to go on, but hasn't been on a bike yet.

No its cool! I was expecting to live the rest of our lives together with her saying "silly bikes, death traps etc", but now she'll come with me on trips out!

Touring, here we come..

Mrs Patch liked pillion a lot, and then she thought she might like to ride herself and at 38 years old she did her DAS. Now she has a purple VFR as well as the sidecar outfit. Unusually though, for someone with their own licence, she still likes going pillion.

TJ, my 7 year old, loves going pillion although she wants me to get her a small bike so she can learn to ride as well.

Boy ( 4 years old) likes sitting on the bike but cry's if you start the engine, but he loves being out in the sidecar.

Got the bike to get away from her.

I don't think a little SV could take our combined weight.

Mrs Ape was never a fan of bikes in the first place, then there was my accident.

So to say that she doesn't like bikes is an understatement. However, with the lack of having a car and the invite for a night out with Sid Squid and Mrs Squid, the only viable option was to go via motorcycle. With having a welded subframe, there was no way she would be going on the back of my bike, so Dr Squid unsurprisingly came to the rescue and came all the way up here and took her back on the Kawazaki. She crapped herself all most all of the way there. Then she had the pleasure of the trip home the next day. This time she rode on the back of the SV1000. She had a better time of it and was more confident. Now she has mentioned that although she is not ready to go on regular trips out, she would like to go to the odd Soho meet and rideout. Obviously I can't take her on my bike so hence the addition at the bottom of my signature

Mrs Jimbo goes on from time to time. But now we have the little one she cant unless we have a babysitter. I've suggest she wear the baby carrier but she wont have it.
