    My mate took me for my first ride on his bike, I swear he was doing over 100 round the brendowns (lots of corners that are marked at 35kph or less) I've never been so scared in my life. I almost jumped off :S

    It was all good fun. (altho i had no protective gear on like a helmet.....)

    Yeah - I have a similar experience, but we were clocking umm a little more than 100, I had a helmet on and thats about it as I was not planning on riding. Family emergency meant I needed to get to a hospital asap. Now think about it, one very worried girl riding pillion on a Blackbird at over 250, no armour..... damn stupid, I could have joined my dad in that hospital bed, or worse... damn Graham, lol, but hey everyone has a "my first pillion ride" story.

    I did not speak to Graham for quite a while - I needed to get the blood back into my body from almost dying of fright.... praying to who ever will listen @ 250km's.... not fun, I tell you.

    Hmm, just make sure you have quite a few years riding experience, to back that up. Graham had been riding for 15 years when he pulled that on me, not that any amount of experience can save you @ 250km's... but hell it makes me feel better!!
