    Hi , my name is Leigh and other half is Andy, we live in Wootton Bassett, now the kids are older we would like to get out more on the bike and meet new people.
    I myself tried to learn riding a motorbike but did not get on very well, ( a confidence thing) , so I am happy riding pillion with Andy.
    He owns a Honda Pan European which I love going on and is a lot more comfortable than his previous bike.
    Am I the only one that enjoys riding pillion that does not have a bike license ? maybe I will give it another go !!
    Hope to meet some of you one day.

    Hi Leigh, welcome to the site.

    Exactly the same situation my wife went through - totally fearless as a pillion, but hated actually being the rider so didn't carry on learning. She has no problem riding horses (or falling off), but could not get comfortable with controlling a bike.

    Personally I think she's just happy being a backseat driver/rider (We no longer have the intercom fitted - told her I've lost the chargers!)

    Hello Leigh and welcome to the group. No you're not alone, my wife Aurora likes to ride pillion but has no desire to ride herself; also Pan European!
    Orange ones are faster, but red ones are more comfortable!

    Hi and welcome to WB
    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”
