    Depends on the pilot, but generally no.

    Same here, wont go pillion on sports bike though…prefer to be in control![;)]

    LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.

    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!

    Having 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!!!

    Yes 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.

    would 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!!

    Don`t ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!

    Same here, but I cant reach behind for grabrail anyway, The only time I hold on is when he does 0-90 in second gear in just a few seconds…and I hold on to Dave or rather his jacket…Wah Hey! Real grin power!
