I'm not a fan of pillion either. Is it because as you age you become more of a control freak or less of a gambler ? Who knows.
Back in my youth, a group of us we're hanging about at the local portway play park. Doing lots & lots of nothing. Someone had the idea of seeing how quick we could neck a boxed 12 pack of hofmeister. Remember them ? So off we went to procure said beverage. Ive no idea why but I was on the back of my mate's YPVS F2. On the way back to the swings, We rode the whole length of Portway on one wheel, he could pull a great wheelie, with me, white fingered, holding on to his jacket with one hand & the beers with the other, with equal gusto. All the while laughing hysterically.
The beers were shyte & his enthusiasm cost him dear a few months later.
These days I get nervous in the passenger seat of a car...
