Rode pillion today!!

Post by towerworker »

This was a first for me and normally I wouldn't admit this..........but

A good friend offered to take me for a short ride on his R. I can't remember ever riding pillion in my life so this was a first. But got my jacket and helmet, struggled a bit keeping my balance and getting leg over the seat and I was on!
I held on to the rack handles and off we went for maybe a 20 minute ride. (He wasn't my type so I didn't put my arms around his waist)


First time riding since May 16th of last year. It felt good.

Excellent, Wayne. Good news indeed. I'm now looking forward to the next stage when you are on the front seat.

PS. Anti freeze changed last weekend - just so that you don't shout at me!
