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
