starting small

[virus]

Im camping for 4 days with my Girlfriend at the end of july and we are going on the cg, she has never been pillion before and ive only ever carried a pillion for a trip across town and back, its mostly A roads to the campsite (roughly 20 miles away).

Any tips for pillions?

Also i have to carry a tent, a carrier bags worth of stuff for the missus, about a carrier bags worth of stuff for me, a chain to lock the bike with, a sleeping bag, and cooking gear +food.

do you think a set of throwovers (possibly borrowed of a friend) and lots of bungees and probably a 100 litre army bergen?

I best start drawing up a list now lol


Cheers all
John

Tell her is she has to adjust herself on the seat, to do it on the straights, after tapping you on the shoulder, and NOT to do it when entering a corner! My girl near upset the pram so many times doing that lol.

Make sure you check your suspension with that extra weight your bike is carrying. You'll have a great time I'm sure. Throwover panniers and lots of bungees should do you fine. just watch your lights and indicators and make sure the bungees dont foul anything and you'll be fine.

Bon voyage, Good luck and enjoy it
