Hi all, hope you don't mind a pillion joining in?

Hubby currently has a zx9r I have been riding pillion for about 25 years and love it. I will get him to join this site too but he is really busy with work at the moment.

We get out and about on the bike at much as we can, would be nice to hopefully meet up with some of you this year.

This site looks really friendly.... keep up the good work.

Sorry (doh)! Forgot to say that we are in Wiltshire. You guys all seem a lot further South than us, but we love your part of the country.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Iggy, we are in Trowbridge.

I love riding pillion I know a lot of riders say they hate going on the back. I did my CBT and had a lovely CBR125 for a while, but I hated riding my own bike.... strangely enough I felt more vulnerable than riding pillion.

Hi and welcome to the site. I love being pillion too, and can't wait to the summer when i'll be able to take part in some of the rides.

Hi and welcome,

you've got something soft and squidgy infront of you that provides padding in an accident...

..i've never actually taken a pillion, paranoid they'll fidget and put the whole combination into the scenery. i'll get over it one day and take someone.....pillion that is.
