pillions

[Nikki]

Passed my test on a RD250 Yamaha in 1976 when I was 17. Chucked away my L plates.

Then in the 80's they bought in the 125 learner law and I have never understood it since...

I was there with the 125 limit but yep well before all the other limits and licence restrictions etc. Never really got my head around it all...thankfully no need.

Me too dont understand all this mod 1 mod2 a1 passed in 1979 and that was that.[/quote]
And me, passed in 1980 on an X5 in the rain, nearly fell off but was out of sight of examiner so it didn't matter.

Just a note if you've never taken a pillion before or they haven't ridden pillion just go steady as it can really change the bikes handling especially if they sit up going round a corner!! not funny

Me too I passed mine when I was just 17 back in 1982 on my Yamaha XS250 Special on a rainy day in September. The examiner told you where to go and you just rode off into the distance, 20 mins later you threw away your L plates 8-)

yup, you can carry pillions on an A2 and use the motorway but pillion use must be declared on insurance...i'm A2 myself

So many fond memories...

You'd definitely need to check you have pillion cover on your insurance

Just checked mine and I'm ok, good job as I take Lizzy all over the place on the back

Hey Sam, you have a Full Motorcycle Licence, albeit restricted to 33bhp. So that means you can carry pillions, as long as the insurance covers you.
