melly 0 Posted May 29, 2012 i have decided i am a bit of a wimp though - all the other pillion riders on Sunday just sat on the bike - didnt hold on to anything - proper pillion riders are much braver than you biker - you all get to hold onto the handles me - i am a wimp and will carry on holding on to the rack - sometimes i get brave and let go with one hand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stue11 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Mel dont worry, if i were on the back of anyone i'd hold em more than me wife so dont worry your not a wimp for holding on, give it time and im sure youll be fine, Dave rides sensible and wouldnt do wheelies like i have with wifey on back the more you get on back the more you will feel confident Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's without me doing a wheelie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
