bnonn: (and zeroindex) .. take warr out for a pillion ride

You'll soon learn that a dead weight, that isn't leaning is far more preferable to a pillion that likes to lean for you

he even start fidlling with my controls on the bars

totaly agree buddy

Thought u guys might like the pillions point of view. I wasnt his pillion on that day but i've been his pillion a few times before. The first time i went with him i was shit scared, as i was so worried i was gonna do something wrong in a corner and affect what the bike was doing. This worried me cauz im used to being the rider not the pillion and used to leaning rather than just going with the bike. I spent most of the first ride closing my eyes coming up to corners and opening them once we were leant over, cauz then i knew my body would go where it naturally should (and yes, i got mocked a lot for closing my eyes), but still it meant i learnt how it should feel to be riding on the back so the next time, it wasnt at all scary and i throughly enjoy it now. In regards to his riding, he's fast but not stupid, he knows his limits and rides well within them with a pillion on. He's also done that loop a few times so its not like he was in unknown territory. And yup i completely agree he's an awesome teacher and his obsessive compulsiveness means he's watched the likes of Warr and worked out exactly how and why he does things, which is good for me, cauz then he explains it all to us newbies :P .. and yeah this post is like way late but im extremely bored and thought i'd read through this exciting thread i'd heard so much about :P
