Bugs me when pillions gets like that, slightly too enthusiastic so on approach to a bend they chuck themselfs down. I prefer the ones who just keep inline the bike they're more predictable.
Thank you, thank you...

It was a little bizarre, I was expecting it to really let go and was riding really slowly the short distance to the office, but it helped me out until we arrived then pffffft air all gone. IT'S SO HARD TO PUSH A BIKE WITH A FLAT TYRE, I didn't realise!

Next new pillion will be briefed "Don't lean, stay upright, and for God's sake don't lean the *opposite* way!".
