Pillioning FTW!

Well, I had the chance to pillion this morning, so I took the bull by the horns, so to speak, and it wasn't as bad as what I'd imagined! My girlfriend knew I was a bit nervous, so she sat real still back there and by the time we got across town I was grinning like crazy! Then, whaddya know? This afternoon I pillioned the daughter as well! Next thing is to pillion on my GT250R instead of a lil KR150. Haha

Sure is easier on a bigger bike though. But good on ya. Gotta learn sometime

A pillion on a 150? Was it like riding a scooter with the extra weight?

[Nasty]

Hell of a lot easier when they sit still ... my main problem as the rider is its me who wirggles!

My 11 year old could not sit still if his life depended on it.... Which it sometimes does lol. He loves looking out the highside when cornering. I'm used to it now.. Mostly

My funniest pillioning experience was not so long ago in Napier on a tiny little scooter. Fully geared up (ATGATT after all) myself and the lovey yungatart headed out. Very friendly configuartion it was too, there is not a lot of room on those scooter seats Happily pootling along when I feel her groping my legs in a questioning manner. Oh my golly gosh, I know she likes me but

Turns out she was as confused as I was, put her hands down on her legs and could not feel them. So she was testing to see if she had gone numb from the waist down. Like I said not much room on a scooter seat

Took my daughter out again today Just on the KR150... It'll be interesting taking her out on the GT250R. She has strict instructions not to move otherwise the deals off! haha

I take one of my kids anywhere I go, on R1 or ST 1100, bigger bike is better for taking pillion on, you need more power as you got more weight. I'm big guy so I'm not worried about them mowing around, but on ST1100, my kids keep falling sleep on long rides ,about 6 times that happened, because ST is so quiet an comfortable and I had to strap them to my self, so they don't fall of the bike, my R1 is bit to nose to go to sleep.

LOL nah bro it's a KR - that little thing goes like a haunted shithouse. It will pull 150k no sweat at all, even with my fat arse on it. Modified, a lot more...

We followed BC in the car and no way could we keep up with her.

Took out the daughter late this afternoon on the back of the GT250R. I could felt the extra weight on the bike but once out on the open road, I was sweet as. Just took it easy as low speeds.

This weekend with the KR150 and trying pillioning for the first time, I feel like I have climbed a mountain! Haha..

[MDR2]

heh, i pillioned the missus on the back of my RG150 once for shit and giggles.
Rear shock was bottomed out, suffice to say we didn't go far or fast.

So that'sa you, the girlfriend and your daughter. How many can you stack on that thing!

Used to pillion the wif on the RG150, although it could handle it without too much fuss, changing gears all the time was a pain! Happy to say that Thumper is much more fun to pillion, I forget that someone is on the back sometimes - go SV

I have pillioned my kids since I started riding really, they love bikes as much as me.... however I draw the line at pillioning someone bigger than me....

[crazyhorse]

Pillioning is fine - especially if you have a bigger bike.

Kids just need a stern talking too - my son was scared going through the Woodville gorge when he was younger, kept leaning the wrong way, so I threw up the helmet as asked if he wanted to go down there (pointing into the river), told him if he didn't lean with me and fast, that was where we'd end up - never had any problems with him since that day
