How can I carry my GF without squashing my privates?

I kept doing that on my first pillion. Well it was pretty much my first. Annoying for me, can't imagine how it felt for the guy in front.

when i pillion, ive learned to lock my legs when i can see a braking situation. this means my feet lock onto the pegs and then my knees lock, which prevents me from sliding too far forwards. i also lean back slightly so as not to headbutt. i find it easier to pillion if ive got something to lean on, otherwise i tend to lean on the rider...

or get her her license and buy her a bike! problem solved!

It's worse when you have a separate higher seat for the pillion and the pillion slides forward and down into your seat. Jim pretty much mentioned it all I think.

Meanwhile I think I will stick some superglue on my gfs ass before we head up to the coromandel for christmas!

Any Gym is fine mate, and the exercise is the adductor machine.

Use gloves when you put the super glue on. That way you won't be following your GFs naked arse everywhere.

I could be really cruel and say get a lighter GF so she doesn't slide forward!

I find when I am on the back of my husband's bike I tend to push down on the pegs and also grip his thighs with my thighs (I think he kinda likes that part!) when he's coming to a stop - but it does take practice. Try pillioning on adventure rides when you're going downhill in the mud! I usually brace myself against the tank but as I am not very tall I can usually only do this with one hand, using the other to hold him around the waist.

He moans when I fall asleep on the back, because my head gets heavier and heavier until my helmet is pressing his head forwards!

From the fingers of Mrs J:
Hey I been pillion for more years than I'm willing to admit to...headbutting is the riders fault not the pillion. Smooth out your gear changes and braking. But in emmergency braking - just get used to the back slap. I also squeeze with the thighs but more for the takeoffs- (nice for both) The hands on the tank a must for down hill cornering, keeps me intune with whole cornering sequence and close cuddles are added bonus for me besides I want a whole man - not the crushed left overs.

Dead right Mrs J. I was too polite to say anything.

GET A SMALLER GIRLFRIEND OR LEAVE HER AT HOME TO COOK AND CLEAN , GIRLS LIKE COOKING AND CLEANING FOR A MAN

Thanks for all your thoughts. My GF is 1.6m tall and about 55kg so the getting a smaller/lighter gf is kinda not going to be possible.

Also I tried suggesting the staying in the kitchen thing but she too offence and wanted to know where you lived WINJA to %&$%&&% your ass.

Try that....do a product review and post yr findings

Otherwise go with the knee gripping thing. I found the same thing on my last bike and learnt to anticipate it it coming and braced myself and pushed back a bit. But after a time my wife got more experienced at pillioning the issue sort of faded away.

I all so ride with my partner and she found it easy to hold the tank . it helps when you take off fast and slow down fast as no stress on the rider

**skidMark** · 11th December 2005, 21:40

that why you don't carry pillions john cus u don't have any?

mate im getting a female pillion asap now...and i also take this thread as a warning...to never carry a male one LOL

and also gf could just get a bike license then she can ride and you go pillion then she doesnt have any nuts to lose...even moreso she may like it...

but if you like being nutted instead mate...

thats just disturbing
