1st Pillion Ride
 

Just back, 1st time took Mrs.O.G. on the back, shes never been near a bike let alone been on one, she LOVED it!!!!
3 hours later, back & she wants to go again, looks like I have killed any chance of single mid week blasts now.
Looks like we will be a visitin more bike shops from now on!
Looking forwards to Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rave:

Ha ha ha, cool. I am just about to order my Pilot to take us out for a ride too. Mind you I am still hoping to pass my test and get on the front of the SV soon.

Hmm, DAS for christmas for Mrs OG then?

hugs

She is thinkin about it, but she is 5' 1" & i am 6' 2" so could not share.
She would have to have her own, then cause she is competative, we would end up racin & that would be bad............................wouldn't it ?

Mind you Carol and I just really enjoy going for rides together, she is always full of advice and tips on how I can get better and ride safer (all of those years as an instructor I guess), but most of all, I really want to just load up a couple of bikes one day and go off on a road trip together.

Being competitive would be a bad idea with her though, she can make our SV do things that I can just about do on my mountain bike, rolling stoppies, wheelies and I swear she jumped it once or twice, although she denies it all an claims to be innocent!

Have fun Mr and Mrs OG, it could be the start of a whole new adventure for you both, am I the only one thinking track days here?

How cool is that:cool:

Tell me the secret please, Mrs Ed dislikes motorcycles. That's putting it mildly:rolleyes: She refuses to get on the back 'because Miss Ed needs at least one parent':rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Catching some air is best "muahahaha" moment... There is one up in Dales, you hit jump at over ton (kmh honest) after a flat out corner, best biking moments so far :smt118:rambo:

So you go learn to wheelie and stoppie. It is great for bike control :-P

Tracks won't let you on with a pillion! You can go to nurburgring for this though!

Well done & good for her:thumbsup:.

Ive only ever taken my OH pillion a handful of times:(the last time being a few weeks back & when she got off she was shaking like a sh1tting dog(never went over 60).I take my 2 young sons(5& a half & 9) quicker than that,the eldest would not have a problem doing warp speed,come to think of it the younger probably would'nt either,although when their on the back i ride sensibly & exercise some self discipline.....still think my OH should take a leaf out of their book though:roll:
