The Triboseat is perfect tho, fits exactly and stops anything flying off back, especially the other half.

As much as i try and loose her she always stays there, lol

Not been pillion in ages, in fact the last time was a lift home after passing my test! Went on the bus the very next day to pick up my new VFR750FV and not been pillion since. I quite liked pillioning back in the day, mainly when at college. My mate would give me lift to college down the A1 to Hatfield on his CG250 (maybe? I think?) and some lifts up to the Midlands with another mate on the back of some Kawasaki 400 4-stroke. I even slept all the way down the M1 on the back of that bike... (in a thunderstorm and ****ing rain! ) Pillion is fun if you trust the rider IMO.

Quite like a pillion on the bike too.

Nah, I hate it!

Must say I've never found the need for the tribo seat, which is just as well as I think they look pants, especially when they start to get worn!
