Wife went pillion

Just took the wife pillion for only the 2nd time, 1st time she hated it and said she felt unsafe.
Been on about 25 mile round trip so not far but she was a lot more confident when she got off.
I only had the bike 2 weeks when she last got on so my riding ability was crap, but it has improved a fair bit so that has helped.
i took it easy speeding up and slowing down and cornering so not to spoil her fragile confindence.
Gripping the tank with my knees when braking has helped enormously, it stops her sliding into me as well as the triboseat grippy seat cover which is the dogs hairy gonads.
Gonna buy some love handles tomorrow as her gripping on to me really puts the weight on my wrists which started hurting almost straight away but i have problems with that anyway albeit not as much.
Anyway, i'm a happy bunny at present and wanted to share it .

cool man-share the feelin with the mrs and it'll be returned tenfold

Excellent. Im in the same boat. Mrs Guru loves it now. We've been out nearly every weekend since I started taking her pillion. Was out today, increasing the mileage every week aswell. Done a 75 mile trip today.

my wife hates the bike, i dont want her on the back anyhow.

I know where you're coming from, make no mistake, my missus would be over the moon deep down if i called time on bikes, she thinks all they do is provide organ donors.
