Thanks for your advice.
Have you ever thought that there might be good reasons for the pillion restriction on a learners/limited licence ?
Have you thought that you are putting your girlfriend in danger by letting her ride on the back of the bike of an inexperienced rider who might not be able to handle a two-up bike in a tricky situation? And you might be riding safely and under the radar .. but what about that car racing up to a Give Way sign .. or that boy racer running from the cops and chopping from your left to ...(ooops .. tooo late ...)
Would you put your girlfriend on the back of a bike if you thought the rider was a bit risky ? Well, she's on the back of yours ...
Now .. before y'all jump in ... I might ride fast and loose ... but only by myself ... with a pillion I'm the sanest rider on the road ...
