Default Pillion ride might be needed

I haven't yet told my 15yo godson about the AR. But when he finds out - and he surely will - I'm sure that he will want to come with. I'd be happy to take him on the back - BUT the rear perch on a 675 isn't exactly comfortable, not least cos there's nothing to hold on to and also cos the zorst is right underneath. I didn't buy the bike with a pillion in mind.

So - if he wants to come, would anyone be willing to take him on the back?? I've got a set of leathers for him, and boots gloves and a lid, so kit isn't an issue. He's a big lad for 15 - I mean tall (6 feet) rather than broad (beanpole), but he's very good on the bike and knows how to behave.

Er I'm cheating. He lives in Bristol. Idea is that Mrs is going to drive down to see his mother, and drop us off at the campsite on a short [cough] detour and all our kit will be in the car.

Ahhh OK. so he just after a pillion seat for the actual AR ride, not down to the event and back?

I'm sure there'll be plenty of offers, but FWIW I think the Viffer rear seat is free.
