Will your Mum ride pillion?

**Karma** · 4th February 2006, 17:15

I reckon mine would think about it, but mum + me + 400cc = no go

I have taken my mother pillion... but she hates it, she'd rather ride one of her own bikes.

Had my grandma on the back of the GT250 back in the late 70's, she was 89 at the time, rode around the car park of the rest home, she keep tapping me on the shoulder asking "are the old people watching?", would have taken her for a spin if I had a spare helmet.

Good thread! bling your way!

Back in the days- mum used be pillion on my '79 80cc with grocery bags- yep it was a daily routine. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Mother....never!
Mother in law, anytime and loves it. She has never had anything to do with bikes.

My Mum - never - but took my Dad for a little ride recently, not bad considering he's 87!

Hell No!

Mum to me: "Alex sweetie, bikes are dangerous"

**Oakie** · 5th February 2006, 09:50

No.
Mum's been on a bike once. My big bother's Suzuki 125 about 30 years ago. He told her he'd show her how it goes.
"just sit there and let the clutch out here and twist the throttle here and away you go" he said
My brother swears he said "slowly" in relation to the clutch and throttle instructions. Mum swears he didn't.
Mum dumped the clutch, wrung the throttle, wheelied across the backyard and finished on her motherly bum in the gravel.
Couldn't be persuaded back onto a bike at gunpoint I don't think.

I just wish I'd seen it.

I'll just whip down to the cemetary and ask........box for the bones ..coupla bungee straps ----don't think she'd object at all........

The question is "will YOUR Mum ride pillion"? I'll be real gentle.....

**zooter** · 6th February 2006, 20:22

Apologies to those whose Mums are no longer with us. I hope I didn't hit too many raw nerves.
I should have added another poll option "why would she ride on back when she's got her own?"

Me old chook went for a ride on the back of a Harley about 7 years ago, first time on a bike and loved it! - (and it wasn't MY Harley either!)

**Holy Roller** · 6th February 2006, 20:40

My mum is keen for a ride, would like to have a go on a Harley. I havent been home since I got the new bike but will be staying this weekend, who knows maybe this weekend.
