Re: Achey but happy!!
Me and Lilly went for a ride with Pete & Lissa into Wales on Sunday.....did 200 miles....Lilly now has major back strain, but she is still smiling.......just think we need more practice so she gets used to the bike.

Got the long trek back home wednesday which includes the motorway, should be fun! (I'm at that stage where even the prospect of sitting on the motorway for an hour and a half sounds fun, no doubt I'll soon be thinking differently! ) |

Re: Achey but happy!!
after you've been out a few times, you'll find you'll loosen up a bit. You won't ache as much. You'll get so used to it, you'll be like me in a pillion seat(if your confident with your pilot)....i'm usually sat with my hands in my lap..........I can see everyone cringing at this point, but I trust Im Indoors, on the rare occasion I sit behind.
And you'll be confident enough to stand up on the pegs mid ride...to stretch your legs

Re: Achey but happy!!
funnily enough a friend of mine many moons ago used to sit on the back of her other halfs chop rolling fags( sod knows how they didn't blow away) they both wore open face helmets too. She is a tiny little thing thoug hso could get right behind him as a wind breaker

Re: Achey but happy!!
My missus freaked me out not long after I got the VFR: Charging up the M6, heading back from Silverstone (BSB meet) towards Manchester (lived in Bury at the time), it's raining and I feel her head gently rest onto my back. She'd fallen asleep!!!
I didn't think it was possible, but it's amazing how comfortable a pillion can get.

Re: Achey but happy!!
aye, the same friend who rolled fags did that, she frightened the living daylights out of the bike behind. She almost fell of backwards
Its also happened to my mates out in France with one of their kids. Rory gets bored and says the dragstar exhaust makes him sleepy. His mum had a dicky fit when she saw him nodding off an the back of his dads bike, his dads paranoid now when he takes him out on it

Re: Achey but happy!!
I've always fallen asleep in cars and did worry about doing the same on the bike but there's always something to see when you're not on a motorway! Last summer we went to Europe and after the first day I stopped hanging on and concentrated on taking pics and filming as we were riding and got some great footage in the Alpes!!
We too went for our first major ride this year - up to Staithes nr Whitby! With the lovely blue skies I had forgotten how nice it is to get out on the bike! |

100% agree there, makes me wonder why people use cars sometimes (on a nice day that is, can see why if the weather's 'orrid ) |

Re: Achey but happy!!
Ooooh taking pics sounds adventurous, that would come in very handy indeed, I kept wanting YC to stop the views were so beautiful!
