    Everything happens slower with a pillion, except falling over when stationary.

    That's when she's not nodding off that is... :
    I'm going to the gym to lose my love handles so hopefully that won't be an option!

    My 11 year old users love handles when he pillions and occasionally he falls asleep so we have worked out a tapping system where i can find out if he is ok, and he will be able to let me know if he cant keep his eyes open and we need to pull into a layby for him to jump off and stretch his legs

    I must be the only one who enjoys talking to their wife then :-/ :-/

    Seriously I find it helps a great deal having a natter about all sorts of things, besides isn't that what intercoms and bike to bike comms were made for

    To be honest....as i still do go pillion ....I loved the fact of not having an intercom......it meant i didnt need to listen about the twit in front or the moans and groans about fellow road users hehe....just listening to my MP3 made a ride so pleasant and enjoyable hehe......and yes it meant he didnt need to listen to me groaning on about all the stuff us women have to do day in day out hehehe......every ride was a great ride hehe ;D ;D ;D ;D
