 Posted: 12:38 - 16 Aug 2009 Post subject: Very pointless really,but |
 |
|
I had my first experience of riding pillion on a sports bike yesterday and I'm so amazed by it I've been telling everyone in sight (sad,I know)
My nextdoor neighbour's mate has an '06 reg Rossi Replica Yamaha R6,so after admiring it he asked if I wanted a ride out on it. He'd spent loads of money on mods and stuff,it had the lot,Goodridge braided hoses,end can etc,it looked brilliant like. Went out for a good blast round the twisty country roads near me on it and I have to say,it was fucking brilliant. I've only ever been pillion on a Pan European in the past so obviously this was completely different. It went like shite off a shovel and I loved every minute of the hour or so we were out hooning around on it.
Very pointless and sad post,but I've never felt better than when I was on there!

Ive never ridden pillion, the thought scares me tbh, i like to be in control. I dont even like being passenger in a car unless i really trust the driver (i.e. my dad, uncle or 2 of my mates).
I also dont fancy parking my arse on the tiny pillion seat of a sportsbike, cant be a nice place to be.
But i agree, sport 600's are immense  ____________________ Past: 06 Runner SP50 >>> 01 Varadero XL125 >>> 08 Kwak ER-6f >>> 05 CBR600rr

Pass your test and get out there, you won't ever want to ride pillion again  ____________________ Don't practice it until you get it right, practice it until you don't get it wrong.

I think once you are riding bike you are a shit pillion. I was riding for a year or so then went pillion on my dads bike to pick a bike up. I didnt like it at all.  |

Just went pillion on my mates ninja and did'nt like the lack of control one bit, especially when we took a 15 mile detour when we found a Mille to play with!  ____________________ Don't practice it until you get it right, practice it until you don't get it wrong.

I like going pillion now and then, especially if the liver is playing up (as I get really tired). But I have been told, I am an excellent pillion anyway, most peeps forget I'm there, well until they get a jab in the kidneys if they are scaring me!!!  ____________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind - Dr. Seuss |

Had a mate who said he would never go pillion on my bike after seeing me ride, he was borrowing my old lid, i got him on there by the time i got him home he was loving the quick bursts of speed and that, dropped him off he asked if he bought a helmet would i take him out more often on it? I didnt tell him i didnt get out of 2nd gear didnt want him to brick it  ____________________ Past: '05 Peugeot XPS '99 Aprillia RS125 '94 FZR600R

Wait until you get on a 1000, the problem with the 600's is that the extra weight and relative lack of torque dents the performance somewhat, the extra capacity and torque makes a pillion less of a hindrance to a thou.
Glad you enjoyed it though I took my future bro in law out on Sunday and he loved it, possible future biker.
Cheers
