Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, what a ride!

April 26, 2005 at 7:40 am #26444DiggerParticipantNO WAY!…ever since I was pillion on the back of a CBR1000F,with an ex racer who took me round the TT cource flat out.This was back in 91 and we done it in 31 mins,scaryist time of my life ever.
Take it easy out there
April 26, 2005 at 11:23 am #26445delticmanParticipantHaving my own ‘style’ and ‘method’ of driving, developed over almost 30 years, I am a very reluctant passenger on either bikes, OR in cars (back seat driver syndrome?).
I’d often be thinking, “I’d have braked a bit sooner”, or “I wouldn’t have took that corner as fast”, etc etc etc. So therefore, I guess the answer has to be no, I don’t like being a pillion passenger.I also absolutely HATE having anyone as a passenger on my bike, whether they are bikers themselves, or not.
BLOOP!!! BLOOP!!! BLOOP!!!
April 26, 2005 at 10:09 pm #26446GSF K1ParticipantNot since I was a kid on the back of my old mans CD175 then his 250 wet dream.. now IM in the driving seat!
To “ERR” is natural.. to really fowl things up needs a politician!!
April 27, 2005 at 12:09 pm #26447barmy_carmyParticipantYes I do, cause where I’ve been riding with Dave so long, I feel as confident as if I were riding, but would love to have a go at being the pilot! Good thing with being a pillion………..You can Talent spot, you can enjoy the countryside around you, and you can look around for any little policemen hiding.

April 27, 2005 at 12:55 pm #26448speedy claireParticipantwould rather be the one in control but as long as I feel confident with the rider then its not too much of a prob…… mind you beggars can`t be choosers at the minute!!

April 29, 2005 at 7:23 pm #26453RadarModeratorI don’t mind taking pillion passengers – my wife is an excellent pillion. Doesn’t even bother to hold on. most of the time…

Real grin power!
