Got helmet and a Leather Jacket, For now we are only going Local on local roads, Brought one of them Belts and seems to work realy well

[Daimo]

I was about 3-4 when I first started.

Dad couldn't afford fancy leathers, so I wore the thickest jeans/jack I had, and had a skid lid and gloves, and use to wear big thick work type boots (for kids).

Memorable moment: Going to Hastings, Brand new FZR 1000 EXUP, 140mph, tap tap tap on shoulder, faster daddy faster.....

Turns out I was so light he'd forgotton I was on the back. We slowed down Still gets laughed about.

[ClockworkJesu...]

19.
Crashed my first ever moped. Was checked Okay by the paramedic crew. Jumped on the back of my mate's CB1 400 and zipped off to McDonalds, and then eventually back home. 105Mph down the A30 feels quick on the back of a bike. Faster still when the rider is younger than you~!

Wanted to tell Mum face to face; but the police got there first, telling her they'd found my bike but not me.. Great.

[hmmmnz]

i grew up on a farm, so was so young i can't even remember learning how to ride,
as far as im aware i always knew how to ride
the old man used to take me and the little bro into the bush on his farm bike (1 on the tank and 1 on the back) and that was before we had started primary school, so 3 and 4 years old

Still remember the first day my Dad opened his bike up with me on the back

Will never forget the feeling of adrenaline/fear/excitement/enjoyment I felt that day, not sure anything will ever match it :l

I believe i was about 13, admiring my great uncle's Blackbird when he just asked "Do you fancy a go on the back?"

Will never forget the fear of nearly falling off the back when he opened it up. (which is probably down to me underestimating how much it would pull!)

I must have headbutted him on every gear change aswell

Then going on the back of my brothers a couple of weeks ago, peered over his shoulder to see 90 on the clocks and just started laughing....im not sure why

Dad collected me and my mum from the hospital in his Panther and sidecar, so i must have been about 1 week old! Used to take my boy to school on the back of my Yamaha when he was about 10 years old, got a lot of funny looks!!

[Bull]

My 1st time on the back of a "big bike" was a friend Fazer600 i was 18 and then a few months later on the back of my m8s ZX6R ,

My 6yr old boy has a KTM50 But he Crashed it into some Straw Bailes and the Bike was reving its tits off, So atm he want ride it,

So by going out on my SP will make him get back on his Bike (want sound as noisey compaired to the SP lol)

[Sam_Y_93]

Only time I have been pillion was on my cousins xr125 (I think) not the most legal of actions, went down a little footpath to get into a field, it was covered in wet leaves. He locked the front and we went down, and that was my first experience on a bike

Have no interest in going on the back of a bike though, hate the feeling of not being in control, I am bad enough as a passenger in a car.

Early teens when i went on the back of a lads DT. Riding pillion wasn't for me.

Taken my 7yr and 8yr old nephews out on the back of the Ducati. One of them is now a bike obsessive....lots of clutch slipping = 10mph sounding like 80.
My daughter was about 10. Probably the best pillion so far. Thinking about it we've covered a lot of miles together. Few memorable moments have been when i first let the clutch out too fast on a hill start...she was laughing so much i could feel her shaking...i was doing yee-ha's. It's now expected that i 'extend the suspension' on every hillstart.

Gotta say i'm dreading having any kind of incident with her on the back...sooner she gets her own wheels the better.
Would be cool to go riding side by side with her.

I was 4 years old, even though I don't remember it. My uncle's son is about 8 years old than me, so he would of been 12 at the time and had this little 50cc trail bike. He used to take me with him and his son down to Formby beach and he would take me on it. Apparently, he would let me ride it as well whilst I was sat infront of him on the seat controlling the throttle and steering.

I didn't know this because my mum and my uncle fell out 23 years ago and hadn't spoken since my nan died at the begining of this year. I knew what he looked like because he owned a hair salon in town but never went in as I didn't know what to say. When my nan was in hospital, he walked in one day whilst it was only me there and I said, "I don't think we've met before..." he said, "Yeah we have, I put you on your first bike on Formby beach".

I genuinely didn't know that until he told me, which was pretty cool, as I was in full leathers and gear at the time.

If I have kids, probably around the same age I would like to buy a little bike to take them out on.

My dad also used to have a Honda something 125 when he was in college but he sold it for a car a year later and never got back on one until a few years ago. He started riding my brothers SX125 after doing his CBT because me, my brother and sister all have bikes. He keeps meaning to do his full test which would be cool.

I also had him on the back of the ZX10 a few months ago which he wasn't impressed with at all.

I'll have been about 9 or so,around 37 years ago now.My half-brother was stationed in Singapore and bought a brand spanking new Kawasaki Z Thou and rode home on it.
He and my dad kinda hated each other so we rarely saw Pete but he came and took me off for a test and scared me shitless!
Got home and my dad lost it with him for taking me on the back,thought there was going to be violence!

It was probably the first bike I ever really saw up close and fell in love with it,Kawasakis and Kawasaki green right there and then.

I must say I truly hate being a pillion and refuse to do it unless it's some kind of emergency.Odd how I have no problem being a passenger in a car but not a bike.....maybe cos I never did pass my car test or drive on the road.I just feel utterly not in control when on the back.

Mine was about 4 months ago on the back of my dad's VFR 800, after opening it up i looked over his shoulder and saw we were at 100mph, felt pretty quick compared to my GS (of course) but i wasn't scared to be fair

I've never been pillion on a bike and to be fair I don't think I ever will.

Is it just me or does the thought of being pillion not scare the crap out of you. The fact that your life is in their hands and any mistake they make you pay the price equally. Strange how I have no problem been a passanger in a car, but would refuse to be a pillion on a bike. Suppose if i've to go out and have a spill I want it to be my own terms and fault.

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

^^^Get on the back with a smooth rider. Someone old helps as it shows they have somehow survived.

I'd like to go pillion again, but with someone who knows how ride properly when 2up.

First time I went on a bike/ or back of was at 19 it was rule in the house that no one rides a motorbike till they are 21... yeah didn't follow that one.

For boots have you tried JCb boots or similar working mens boots, I had my first pair at the age of 5.

This is the type im thinking...

Only been bitch once - was on a CB250 ridden by my brother, I already had a bike licence by this point.


This sounds fine until you realise that I weigh about 7 stone more than him. It wasn't fun, the front wheel went really light, the bike snaked back and forth even in a straight line and corners felt like certain death.


Not that interested in riding pillion again tbh, can't envisage a situation where I would need to either so I think my days of riding bitch are going to remain at 1.
