I was pillion on a ex's zx9 for about 4 years before we split up and i had to get my own bike. But i still love being pillion cos i love silly speeds and wheelies and stuff but haven't got the confidence to do them myself. So any one want to take me on the back of there bike for a ride just let me know and i'll be there.

Off we set. When we get there she is moaning like crazy about how uncomfortable the seat was, never going to be able to walk again, etc.
Took the sticky sheet off, to discover she had endured 15 miles sitting on the seat cowl as I'd forgotten to change it back to the seat . . .

Mine won't go on it at all.

Not that I'd want her to develop a taste for it and insist on coming along on my own rides for pleasure (although where she lives/works, her having her own bike for commuting would be ideal). However, it would be useful if she'd occassionaly be pillion (eg when we need to go somewhere together and I only have the bike with me.)

My wife like the back, but get's figity after a while... she complains sometime of getting bored, yet tells me to stick to the speed limits...

She found the SV uncomfortable, dunno what she'll think of the Gixer... but i find it more comfortable....

Yup, mine loves it, I have to take it easy though, which worries me as she tends to fall asleep!

It's weird, I had no idea as she still moves with me for corners, when she told me I couldn't believe it, then she tells me that she does it all the time!

How the hell can ya fall asleep on the back of someones bike? I really cant get my head around that

My sense of self preservation would never let that happen.
