Who's been a pillion when the riders binned it?

[mstriumph]

......as a rider I'm a real crap pillion........

me too - i'd be dangerous
in fact i couldn't trust myself to pillion
so i don't do it

i allus think it's best to own up to your limitations - this, and not being able to spell worth a damn, are mine

I've spent a lot of time as a pillion in my younger days,and would like to think I was good at it - helping the rider even if I wasn't too happy with what they were doing.Been down a couple of times,no problems with that at the time,obviously not major prangs.

I remember one time knowing we were too hot into a corner,felt the Avon GP slip onto it's last rib,and we were heading for the curb.''I'm outa here'' I thought,and stood on the inside pillion peg to step off the bike when it went down - it must of been the right thing to do as the T'bird stood up and tightened the turn.We made it no problem.

I don't know if I would be a good pillion now - it's a matter of knowing the rider,trusting them even if they aren't a good rider....and just becoming one with the bike.

You orta try crashing as a sidecar passenger - now that's something to put the shits up ya!

I bailed once with me sister on the back.. felt like a real dick head for doing that.

That person trusts you enough to sit on the back and you go and drop 'em.


Luckily I took it worse then her.. initial crash was all good, she jumped off the back and ended up on the other side of the road, got up no injuries. My bike landed on me foot and I was trapped underneath it and couldn't get up. She was in shock and wasn't thinking about what had happened..

Car came round the corner saw me underneath me bike, slammed on the brakes and pointed to go around the bike, ended up hitting me! Just with the front bumper and just as it was stopping, but hit me hard enough to give me some wicked bruises all down me back.
