Getting in the back . . . . .

[B10Hazard]

So who enjoys or dislikes being on the back of a bike.
Well today i went on the back of a CBR600 for a 55 mile round trip and really enjoyed it, the rider was 44 and well experienced had bikes all his life etc etc. Other than today the only time iv been on the back of bikes is on mopeds and random other things when i was younger and stupider mainly with allymoss piss balling about.
It was a little un nerving at first because iv not had much experience with high powerd bikes in general.
The only bad thing is i am know contimplating a cbr 600 just down the road that needs a bit of work.
Never thought much about the cbr's or been that interested but they actually pretty good bikes, atleased from a passanger point of view.
I did have a little go in a car park and i do mean a little go. just a lap of a retail park in second. Good funn though . Not quite sure about the ridung position to much and the seats need to be softer

I can't remember the last time I went on the back, I would seriously have to trust the person. I'm a bit hypocritical really, I've had loads of pillions but most of them are not bike riders.

The CBR is, in my opinion, one of the best all round bikes there is.

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Depends on the rider. One of my mates with a GPZ1000RX I trusted completely and was happy to have him wheelie to his heart's content, another with a CB900F2 have me 180 degree hips after bouncing my knees off both the car we were overtaking and the cars parked opposite.

Hate it, I find it frightening.

[Chalky.]

Never have except on crossers.

If you're near Mossy and you're not a cock you can have a go on my cbr

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

I was frightened on purpose first time. I was only 16 and thought that was how it was supposed to be.
The last time was on a friends 350LC and we hit cow dung midcorner.

My pillions have said it can be relaxing and one said she nearly fell asleep. I'd like to be pillion to a quick smooth rider...on track would be ideal.

Only ever been on the back of my uncles bike (A CB900FA funnily enough) and his Kawasaki Z1b. The kwaka was definitely more passenger friendly.
Not sure if i'd trust anyone else really, i do prefer to be the rider now though.

Used to love it, now hate it.

I hate being a passenger in a car as well.

I think the last time i went pillion was about 4 years ago... on the back of my brothers dt125 when he was on L plates. I enjoyed it but that's because i hadn't ridden anything above 50cc lol. Not sure if i'd like it now, i think i'd just pick up on other people faults if they made any, but on the other hand it could be good if they're a good rider as you could see how they ride in different situations and you could learn a thing or two off them.
I do enjoy taking people on the back of me though, like to shit the odd person up too

Im not a cock your fat gypsy. The worst pillion experience iv ever had is when mossy had his big bear quad running on transit wheels and tyres going like shot off a shovel through a wet field with me shouting slow down, slow down, slow the fuck fuck down, slow . . . ..
On the floor in a heap head hurting leg hurting mossy nearly dead due to a knee to the head.
Fun but painfull

I hate pillion, it scares the poo out of me, I would not go on the back of a bike with me riding it. I especially would not go on the back of me riding it!
Going in sports sidecars is fun though, I love hanging out and brushing the tarmac with my elbow on left handers

Last time I went pillion was on my mates R1 - who is a crazy rider.
Change of pants, and I would never go again.
I need to have control over the bike.
My mrs rides now, I have no bike at the moment - but I would still never go pillion again

[ajbsmirnoff]

Only been on the back of a bike twice,. Both times about 1992. A nice lady rode me from sheffield to Newcastle and back. and to a bluegrass festival in Edale (again from Sheffield). Was quite nice overall, although as she was short, I got a really good view of everything we were hurtling towards. By the end of it, I wasn't a sack of tatties apparently.

The helmet and jacket turned my pony tail into a matted dread for the day though.

Took my mum pillion on the CBR125 earlier in the week, really surprised how well the bike coped with it to be honest, even managed to crack 70 a few times.

Havent been pillion for years, last time was on a CBR6f and that was all day long comfortable, other times on a GPZ500 which was ok and an SV650 which had razor blades in the seat after 80 miles.

My mate gave me a lift from Braintree to Norwich on his old GSXR1100 to collect my current Africa Twin from it's previous owner.

First of all I could barely get my feet on the pegs because my knees didn't want to bend that far.

Next when he got onto the down ramp for the A12 he opened it up big time and hit a bump in the road at the same time, my arse left the seat and came back down 6 inches further back than it should of. I think a small bit of poo came out when that happened.

The final straw was when he went round the first fast roundabout and I swear my ear was about an inch from the tarmac. I made him pull over by prodding him in the ribs and smacking him round the back of the head and I took over the riding with him on the back. The amount of bend my knees had to achieve was even worse than sitting on the back but I felt a bit safer. I hate riding pillion.

Riding back home on the Africa Twin was like sitting in an armchair.

I've been on the back of my dads bikes. He's by no means a skilled rider, but he's cautious so its all good. The only other person i've been on the back of is a mate who's crashed every bike he's ever ridden. Including the one he got from the test centre to do his test on... and mates bikes he's taken for a spin round the block...

[Benson_JV]

I don't mind it, I'm always pillion on Willsons ER5. Only thing I dislike is when he lies flat against the tank and takes his hands off the bars.

I'm trying to think now; I think I've only ever ridden on the bunny seat with about three riders! Mostly my uncle in our youth, when he was a real cock.
Dragged my up Solihul High street on my helmet, behind an XT500!
Cash point hadn't given him any money & he was in a foul mood, then the kicker kicked back and re-hurt his sprained ankle from the first time he got it cods..... but all was forgotten when he spotted a couple of girls in short-skirts coming out of Beaties.....
Including the fact tht I was still clambering on the back!
He decided to do monster wheelie to get thier attension....
It worked too!
Not becouse his mono-wheeling antics were so impressive, but the fact he was dragging a screaming 'victim' behind him as he did it!
Wasn't the only time he forgot I was on the back, actually....
On another occassion a hot-hatch had tried to out drag him from a set of lights; the red mist descended, and the next thing he was trying to drag the pegs in the twisties to teach it a lesson, wondering why it wasn't responding like it should...... we came to rest on a grass verge, having just narrowly avoided the ditch before the hedge when it wanted to take a slightly wider line than he'd planned...... knoblies CAN offer 'useful' grip, then!

First time in for 8/9 years was about 2 months ago, Reg Rec died on the SV and needed a bike for work, so arranged to borrow dads CB1000, he rode over and picked my up, pillion back to his, then i brought the bike home - he's a steady rider, didn't pass 80 (was big open roads and dual carriageway all the way) but i fooking hated it - seems hypocritical really as there's times i ride like i'm possessed, but hated not being in control.. will be making a point of not doing it again!

Did it once, about 25 years ago, never again. Not happy in any situation in which I am not in control, hate to be a passenger in a car, even on a plane.
