No helmet, and no gloves.....

If I was riding one of those crutch rockets, dont think I would carry a pillion as it wouldnt be too comfortable for either of us

 :|||| :|||| :||||

I always tell my passengers to just sit still, dont lean either way as then I can feel whats needed and do it.

Important

If the pillion sees/feels the bike going over, he/she is to throw them selves under the bike immediately to save it from damage. Skin grows back but fairings dont...

This instruction always seems to be followed by a hit to my head.. :eek :eek :eek

Yep, thanks for the lessons.  I did learn something new today, girls. 
If the pillion holds the rider's shoulders, she'll fall off.
Didn't know that.  Wot thuh
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
