Pussies

took the lass out on the bike on sunday. that sticky mat stuff really is the difference between her beaing terrified and enjoying it. its with its weight in gold. We even managed to get to the dizzy heights of 45mph at one point

just look at that spelling, sorry

why dont they just get a seat cowl then ? then just swap it for the "ugly seat with tribo" when they know they will be taking pillions.

thats what i do any way

Tribo seats are great, you can just sit there, read the road and hold yourself in a way that means you stay balanced whether braking, accelerating or cornering.

We had some no-slip matting over the seat for the SV, it is great stuff!

I've done it once and that was enough and I am never ever doing it again. Its horrible. I dont like being not in control, I prefer to drive rather than be a passenger in a car either.

I dont like taking pillions either. Mainly because I am sh*te at it. Get your own bl**dy bike

Am getting there!


That non-slip stuff is great, except ours is wearing away a bit now, but for little money it cost compared to actual triboseat stuff it's certainly done it's job! We're skinflints you see, in case you hadn't already guessed

I took a lift home with a friend when I dropped my bike off for a service once. Exactly the same feeling on corners, very well described. Not been so terrified in a long time, and she was taking it real steady.
