Back around October I got my '98 Ninja with a view to using it as my long distance, wet weather and two up machine.
I bought my lovely Girlfriend some gear and today I took her out for her first ride on it. Apart from a mini tour on a Harley the only other pillioning she's done was a quick ride on my banger transalp. She liked it! Not only did she like it but when she went to bed a bit earlier she said "I really enjoyed today, going out with you on the bike." I was so happy I even cracked a tiny little smile. It was only a little ride through some traffic, down a small stretch of motorway and a few miles of country lanes but I reckon I might actually be able to get her join me in my hobby from time to time. We bumped into a couple of orgers at the Ace too which was nice. Lovely. ![]() |

Its good to hear she likes something that you like a lot. Didnt she get scared at all?

It's oddly enjoyable, you'd think the slight restriction on speed/cornering would **** you off but it doesn't at all. Can't do anything suicidal though.

I once took my 13 stone (male) mate on the back and it was awful, didn't help he fought the bikes movement too. Stopped after two minutes and told him to ****ing walk lol Wasn't fond of the proximity either ![]() Only ever took one other lad and luckily he was a smallen.
