Predominately solo for me as, well, I don’t have any friends!! … its just as well I am Billy as on the odd occasion when I have taken a victim … sorry pillion on the back, not only does it upset the handling, but I find it too much responsibility.

Solo, motorcycling is a selfish pleasure for me.
Mrs Tricky has from time to time expressed a passing interest, but loses enthusiasm when I suggest she gets some gear (and sees how much it costs).

Mostly Solo, but if somone wants a lift, etc I take pillions. The Triple just doesnt notice them.

I've done a lot of riding with pillions in the past. Some can be a real pain (leaning the wrong way, headbutting, wriggling around etc) and some are great (gorgeous females who put their hand on your crotch).

I haven't taken anyone pillion since I sold the Harley (female pillion magnet) and Mrs Wyrdness won't even contemplate getting on the Speed Triple's comedy pillion seat.

She's probably glad to get me out of the house, to be honest.
