Rain...? Pussy

She has to be carful or she might get wet enough to slip off the seat

Ask any experienced rider if they would pillion in general, answer is always no. Why? because they have to be in control, if a rider tips in and pillion sees and think its a wrong line he/she will naturally try correct it and lean the other way.

Problem is Ive only pillioned twice in the wet, both bad experiences. First time was on the back of my gixer and we were lucky not to have lost it in twisties, second time the rider thought hed impress me by doing 230km/hr in the wet on the northern motorway. Then threw the bike around some twisties out west.

So no, for me its a trust and headspace thing. If I cant trust the rider in the wet then it would lead to disaster.

And who is going to brave the weather? Kitty cats dont like the wet but will anyone else be there or will it be like the last time it rained and only 4 brave souls pitted there bikes and will against mother nature.
I was soooo gutted to have missed last weeks run, the misses came up with the lame excuse of something to do with the fact she hadn't seen me in 10 ten days or some such thing?... I know it must be a chick thing

Someone got out in the wet today on the back of a bike, my brain cell has been reassured.

Couple of grumbly points on Riverhead guys....

* Stick together tail end charlie sometimes gets left behind. Put a more experienced rider at the back if no mentos available.

* NO racing on the straights and especially take offs at intersections - easy and tempting but lets keep it safe.

* No egos please - we are there to have fun, learn new things and have a good night *coughs young male riders *
ok rant over
