I've only ever pillioned once, when I was like 13 or something, those who have met me know why

On the plus side, anyone who needs a bit of weight on the rear of their bike for wheelie practice can take me pillion

So close and yet... not quite what I had in mind.

Pillioning might be one of the topics to bring up on the AWNMR though - for those with a year or two under their belt?

Longer term I'm looking for a smaller group of riders that are known good, safe rides for pillions of all levels of experience. Complete newbies that simply wonder what it's like through to those that know and love being a pillion.

It seems to be a very big, very overlooked area on this site.

I can't help but wonder if a group similar to Mentors could/should be set up for exactly that reason although the logistics of matching them up to people wanting a ride might be interesting.

I don't want to burden those who organise rides with arranging pillions as well - that's bollox. They have quite enough to do already. But if a bike and pillion are lined up ahead of time and just show up then so much the better for all.

... another 5c poorer... or is it 10c now?

Piss off, last time I did that I saw this God awful lump appear in his pants, a wee wet spot and... well... it more than put me off to be honest

Yes, yes, yes! (excuse my excitement)

I think pillions are sadly neglected on here.
I could be a pillioning mentor! I've finally found my niche in life!

I agree! I have ridden for many years, a quite a few of them carrying pillions, it is a learned skill to have someone on the back of your bike, you actually have to have a degree of trust back at them, so a learn to pillion/be a pillion activity may well be a great thing to organise .

For what it is worth (and I think it is 10c now mate) I have pillioned children, and adults. I am not a big female, and have even pillioned my ex-mother-in-law for 10 days on the back of a step thru scooter in Rarotonga (huge great big fat bus sixed backside on her)....she would have been the biggest challenge, I didn't drop her once! tho she certainly made it hard to take off for sure....

It is a skill to master, if I had a bike I would be happy to take someone out with me, for now I am content to be the accessory

**twinkle** · 20th December 2006, 17:18

I'm happy to pillion anyone, but I am riding a gn

they'd have to be the patient type.

Stink you're in Hamiltonish, as I'd love to swing by for you to try out my seat and give me some pointers.

**NighthawkNZ:Me** · 20th December 2006, 18:40

My pillion seat is usually free and Im happy most of the time to pillion someone... been riding for 20 years (errr counts fingers) yup 20... sheese

As long as they are comfortable and don't destable the bike in any way... It usually doesn't bother me... (am willing to teach no problem) My ex was so tiny I had nudge her to see if she was still there... lol

Oh and yeah I ride totally different when I have a pillion... I usually ride like a NaNa cause I am looking every where and at everything... saying to myself ohhh pretty... oh shiney... oh you wanker cage driver... oh pretty... oh kewl bike...

Not sure how comfy the VTR rear is though, but the sheep skin will help...

EDIT: I do have a weight limit of around 70 - 75kgs (going by the owners manual and no offence meant!)

**BigB** · 20th December 2006, 18:42

Been riding for 18 years and the birds got a real comfy seat on the back (just ask Cibby)

Always keen to have someone along for the ride.

cheers
