The Physics of Pillions

[Gixxer 4 ever]

People have posted good stuff but like all things it gets scary when you talk about it to much. Put him on the back and go for a quiet ride around some local roads. When you are happy go on the M/W and have a nice even gentle ride. Take care but have fun.

Do you know how to adjust your spring pre-load? Crank it up.

poor girl - You miss out of the joys of applying excessive front brake in the interest of feeling boobies.

The alternative maybe interesting. If you're into that sort of thing.

I can't say that's a huge motivator for me, but that probably explains why my mate used to brake quite hard on the A2 by Greenwich whenever I went for a ride with him....

Can't imagine it would be as much fun having a boy behind me as it is sitting behind a boy, if that makes any sense...

au contrare. it's goats. Dogs can not talk.
Many goats are bigger than sheep but not as fat and they are clever. But there are fat goats, some nearly as big as small horse. My goats are freindly and sometimes I hug them but...

I have many goats with beerds and one with the mustche but he wasnot called merv.

Not when they put their claws throught the seat vinyl.

Oookay... whatever it is you're smoking, I think you should give it a rest for a bit

This post, Jethro, is very worrying.

Don't they all have beards ? And I agree , this post is worrying - after all, who would call a goat merv ?

OOOoooohhhhh....................I don't know.............as a young boy at the time she thought it was nice.

But seriously just take it carefully. Most has been said so will not repeat. I am a great believer in engine braking especially when two up. If something slides with that extra weight things can go wrong quicker than normal. It is at the slower speeds that take a bit of getting use to; no sharp turns ue's etc.

get them to hold you as tight as they can (arms and legs).....this comes in especially handy when they climb up on to your shoulders and hug your helmet .....ah the 1982 TS185, did everything - but nothing very good
But im not kidding about the tight grip thing - it gives you a sense of where they are on the bike - and it 'ties down the load'.
My girlfriend got the hang of this quite quick and would put her arms in my jacket pockets or hold my chest area. She then would pull herself tight so she would almost 'lie' on my back.
Sometimes even the deep rumble of the GB doing 150 on the motorway, would put her to sleep!!!!!! which scared the shit out of me not noticing that she was asleep then thankful she hadnt fallen off
