    I've been told that I ride like a nana all the time, so pillions need have no fear. I also understand the passenger accommodation on the rear of an FJR is salubrious.

    Thanks - and you're not left out... I'm trying to find out how many seats are out there, so we can maybe start bringing some pillions along - whatever their reason may be for pillioning.

    Tis a good point, and if we can facilitate such fun - why the hell not?

    errr - would the mod that changed that last option please read what the poll is about, and change it back? It should read "Indicate location" or something like that

    I'm trying to find who has full licences, is willing to take a pillion and where they are...

    Well Nigel, my pillion seat always has a pillion on it, but in saying that it could be arranged that i can free it up sometime, Anne is an excellent pillion (now that we got 'that' little cornering problem sorted)
    Anyone that knows me and my style of riding... would agree that im a safe and curtious rider....

    I am in Auckland

    I regularly carry pillions

    I am happy to take anyone for a ride but I do prefer that they are lighter in weight...doesn't matter really but if they are an inexperienced pillion then it is my preference that they are lighter.

    Have to agree with klingon - again! wanting to be pillion is in its self totally different to getting your own bike and learning. Always thought I wanted just to be a pillion, but now after having my own bike, I love the feeling of being in control. Although I dont mind being pillioned by an experienced rider.

    Once I get my full I really dont think I would be comfortable taking a pillion at all.

    Just my 10 cents worth!! Only cause I want my post count up!!

    I've been riding for 30ish years and am in Auckland. Happy to help out with pillioning dependant on having time available....the joys of over commitment and self employment!
    Keep me in the loop and I'll see what I can do.
