Default First ride on a proper bike with Missus pillion-The girl from Delmonte... she say YES!

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.

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.

That's alright just never take a heffer!
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.
