Default First pillion

Well my good friend, who is used to riding pillion, popped my pillion cherry today.
Some people might think that it is too soon to take a pillion but I felt comfortable to do it.

There were a few initial wobbles (setting off and stopping at first) but after that all went very smoothly.

I headed towards bull beck with the intention of stopping there for a brew.
Got there and there were road works going on so I drove past. Figured as I was heading in that direction we might aswell go to devils bridge.

Didint notice Lucy on the back (she was there I kept checking!).
Got to the bridge and spent a good 5 minutes trying to talk Lucy round to getting off. She borrowed my 1 piece RST leathers you see and was feeling a bit constricted

Got a brew and sat on the wall soaking in the (occassional) sun. Lucy then decided to take off the top of the leathers. In doing so they slipped down. She failed to tell me that she only had knickers on under them.
Gave the blokes a laugh!!!

Anyway all in all a great experience and I now have a full time pillion I think

I always wear leggings under my leathers.
Makes them easier to get on and off.

Good stuff, I do think riding with a pillion helps you become smoother

I took my mate pillion within a few days of getting my sv, he'd never been on a bike before and id never rode a big bike with a pillion, was ok except it felt like nelly the elephant had sat on the back.

I agree with YC about pillion making you smoother, i do concentrate more on smooth gear changes, light braking etc with wifey on the back, i find it tiring though as im really focused, probably too focused.

BTW i wear shorts under my leathers .
