Pillion's return after 10 years...

**Taz** · 19th March 2009, 19:34

My partner of 23 years has decided to come on the coast to coast with me after a self imposed 10 year pillion stand down period. She hasn't ridden with me since our daughter was conceived. Hope I don't scare her

So this Hillbilly father of 5 goes to the doc to get fixed up, when the doc tells him what it was going to cost be balks and asks if there are any cheaper options?
The doc suggests he buys a big banger fire cracker, lights it, drop it in an empty bear can, hold it to his ear and count to ten.

The hick goes home and does what the doc says...1...2...3...4...5...places the can between his legs and continues counting on the other hand.....

Thats my family planning advice for the week.

When my wife started getting on the back we had a whole new out look/start. We have had a couple of good tours...all good, still friends.

I used to ride a little fast and becoming a parent apparently makes you more responsible

Whats this "used to" bit, I seem to recall being passed recently by a KDX at high speed........

Enjoy it, I wish I could get my wife back on the bike as well but she refuses to believe I've grown up yet.

Your daughter was conceived on your bike? Well done! You'd better use protection this time.

Its awesome when you discover something that does this. There's lots more things to be discovered that will do the same.

I thought the order went 'buy wife protective gear THEN put her on the bike for a 500km ride'
