Pillioning. Is it discussed enough?

You can have lots of fun on the pillon seat, of course we may have had the odd off road excursion but no crashes

Ya bastard!!! Just made me spit good grog all over the key board. In a galaxy far, far away, many, many years ago I had an XT 350 with a mate on the back, back to back, he was holding a crate of Newcastle Brown Ale on the back rack at 2am bathed in the eerie red glow of me tail light, in the snow. Riding through woods, over cobbles & trails. Full tit.

Poor bugger was trying to stay on the bike & keep the beer in the crate over the bumps. Lost a few.... My drunken, yooful behavior still crops up after an ale or two. He managed to stay on during a minging wheelie, too, but seems to have forgotten.

Epic memories!

I once had a silly tart sit bolt upright half way round a corner, on the back of an XL500, with full knobblies at about 12psi.

I had the knee down, elbows, shoulder, hip, all down, with both ends drifting on the knobs. Fuck knows how we stayed upright.

I hear ya! Some people haven't ever heard of physics.
