Hello, you've reached the psychiatric hotline. If you are obsessive/compulsive, press 1 repeatedly. If you have multiple personalities, press 2, 3, 4, and 5. If you are simply paranoid, just stay on the line - we know who you are.
1. The pillion must be fit looking... NO MINGERS!
2. Pillions must wear G-strings.
3. The pillion must hold tightly with thighs.
4. If the pillion must use her hands to hold on they must grab the thighs of the rider in a provocative way.
5. Scratching the bike is punishable by death or blowjob.
6. Under no curcumstance is the pillion to take their feet of the pegs whilst the bike is moving/stopped at intersection/or in the process of crashing. Failure to comply results in the same punishment as scratching the bike.
7. If the pillion seat is equiped with some form of extra attachment... such as this it is there for your enjoyment... just relax and enjoy the ride.
The universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess. Don't doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act.

the person riding SHOULD be experienced before offering to take pillions
eg not on p plates
yeah flame away but there are quite a few of you "p"platers out there that need the experience BEFORE you risk the life of someone else
and this is common sense not having a go at anyone
He was asking tips like he'd never pillioned someone, I was offering some advice. You're not a bad pillion, just for the unaware your mid corner/sitting at a set of lights no warning violent wiggles are a bit startling at firstoh and by the way, i think im a decent pillion person,
[/b]
Lee try pillioning someone who says they have been pillioned before and know how DONT have a fucking clue and try and kill you by doing stupid shit
especially when they stand up just as you take of from the lights *thud*
i disagree. id say have 3 months under ur belt, but after that aslong as ur not useless, and can be smooth (and not try to wheelie it to impress the chick on the back and stack it) go for it.the person riding SHOULD be experienced before offering to take pillions

ive been carrying pillions (namely my gf) every week for all but the first 3 months of my p plate years, which im still on, and i dont wanna blow my own horn - but im quite good at it.
practise makes perfect and ur gonna be just as jerky first time with a pillion if uve had 3 months under your belt or 20 years. Because the pillion doesnt have a strong grip on handlebars like the rider, the slightest jerk or unpredictable riding will be increased 10 fold to the pillions movements. (banging their helmet into the back of yours for instance) especially if they are inexperienced pillions.
just take it easy!
its only the kind of p plater that has crashed numerous times due to incompetence that shouldnt be taking pillions...
1) i've always taken the person around the block cautiously just to see how they react and sit etc so that i can an idea about them and there comfort level and they get more comfortable and start trusting me... the amount of people who say they know what to do etc then freak out or use my mid back to stop is fustrating. Actions speak louder than words.
2) work out signals to stuff like... "i'm gonn take off: OR "hold on with the legs more" OR "fix me jacket" (wife loves that one) OR "i see a cop" OR "stop when you can"
And for the riders..... don't be a hero and take off 200km/h to impress the new pillion, i was put off being on the back by a guy who though it'd be fun to take of without warning, i was slipping off right up until he stop accelerating.
Fully agreed, good advice 'Sabre 1'the person riding SHOULD be experienced before offering to take pillions

Or someone who fucking lets go at the set of lights and does stupid chick like wave at girls around and scratches their noseLee try pillioning someone who says they have been pillioned before and know how DONT have a fucking clue and try and kill you by doing stupid shit

You go to take off and you can feel their weight roll back and then them claw at you like a fucking cat or something trying to hold on
Man it's hard to find a good pillion *sigh*. I mean, I like sharing the experience with someone that wont go out and ride on their own, but they are hard to come by
I took badkitty out for a spin the other night, first time I'd taken anybody on the new bike. She's a top pillion, for the following reasons:
- sits very neutral in the seat
- doesn't make sudden movements
- remains neutral through corners
- has good technique getting on and off, doesn't throw the bike the other way when I'm bracing.
- braces herself with her legs when decelerating
- anticipates what I'm about to do, leans forward when I accelerate, back when I brake.
I think our helmets clashed only once, and that was me suddenly rolling off the throttle to avoid a pothole. I think it helped that she could prolly see straight over my head, so she didn't have to move around much to have a good view. Being a midget is good sometimesTHe extra weight even made it easier when I was stopped, due to the bike sitting a bit lower.
In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

advice for blokes: don't be too much of a "man" to hold on to the rider, it is a pain when they fall back then fall forward and usually touch helmets every bloody gear change, and the chance of them falling off is high.
On a sportbike especially lean forward for corners till you are just off the riders back, it is possible to lift the front wheel off the ground at the apex if the pillion is bigger than the rider.
Don't fall off.
Have a clear signal system between rider and pillion for faster and SLOWER ( i got caught out with that one).
If possible use a big bike, greater than 600cc. 2 up on a 250 looks wrong.
did i say don't fall off.
Over 200 it is really hard to hang on. don't do it.
pillions wear quality gear, i have heaps of gear for pillions.
work the rest out
Atlas Performance, dyna pumps, " your name goes here"
Don't plexus your pillion seat.
I think it helped that she could prolly see straight over my head, so she didn't have to move around much to have a good view. Being a midget is good sometimes
