Pillions up high on sportsbikes

Doesn't it cock up your handling? I would have thought the centre of gravity would be so raised that it would screw your handling, particularly at low speeds. Some bikes have the pillion up so high it just plain looks silly

Where else you gonna put 'em?

Yes, it cocks up the handling.

Next question?

well in pre-helmet days it was good if you had a buxom lass on the back and she could put one puppy on each of your shoulders to keep your ears warm in winter

Pillon seats are only put on sports bikes so you can get the go-ahead to buy one,fucked if i would let anyone get on it.

I imagine the only thing more painful than watching a pillion on a sprotsbike is being that pillion.

Makes for good

ID though

How else would you attract the ladies?

Having said that, sometimes they like being able to see whats coming. Other times it gives them the shits (and they wish they were looking at their reflection in your helmet)

Think 'yoga in leathers perched atop a pole going warp speeds' and you're half-way there.

High centre of gravity isn't so much the problem as having a lot of weight out the back is. All that finely tuned setup goes completely out the window.

This is why i like petite Asian girls...
