Carrying a pillion

[CVSensei]

Can anyone drop any useful titbits on carrying a pillion? I love riding on my own and have never carried anyone before but there is a certain fair maiden I'd love to take for a spin. I didn't tick the box for pillion insurance so was just wondering how it works and roughly how much it costs? As it'll probably just be a one off, (unless it goes really well) can you get daily insurance?

I asked my insurance about pillion cover and they told me that if you don't have it and you crash while carrying a passenger then you aren't covered. Other people have been told that it doesn't affect cover though. Insurance is a black art.

The bike will be a bit slower. Allow for this. The bike will also take a bit longer to stop, allow for this too. The bike will be a bit less 'chuckable' when going through bends, so try and set the bike up a little earlier for corners.

Other than that, don't let her get on or off until you tell her, and try not to scare the living piss out of her!

Last time I got a quote, it did not change when I flitted between pillion and non pillion cover.

Admin fee, expect £30 as being an average.

*edit* I am very old though.

Just make sure she doesn't wear a bra then brake suddenly and often.

On a new policy, pillion cover doesn't seem to make too much difference. It costs me an extra £10 to have it, so I tick the box even though I rarely take a passenger.

What you SHOULD do is a get a fair maiden who rides her own bike. It's the way forward
