[QUOTE="Debbie Kemp, post: 703, member: 3717"] Hello again, You are right, life as a pillion is not quite as fun as riding up front. Being on the back where you can't see in front of you and you have no control over what happens can take some getting used to. However, it seems that your wife and I are the lucky ones - my partner has forgone his original Vincent seat in favour of a modern, more comfy one which is fully sprung so that riding on the back is as good as it can get. I am currently teaching him to give me a signal when appraoching road humps so I know when to jump rather than suddenly get a shock! :) Having said all that, I love riding pillion. We are riding over to the French rally this weekend and hopefully it will be the start of many long trips, though I am hoping that one day I will be riding to rallies on my own bike. The main emphasis of the ladies section is to provide some kind of social group for get-togethers while the guys are busy talking about their bikes at rallies. So far I haven't managed to drum up enough interest but you never know what the future holds - maybe we could start a "pillion section" instead so we don't restrict it to ladies only? Any suggestions are very welcome :) [/QUOTE]
