re need advice for riding with someone on pillion a few random thoughts on riding with a passenger there s no substitute for a bike with sufficient power having taken passengers very occasionally on the small etc bikes i used to ride in the uk it was hard i m now riding a gs and that s great even moving from my freinds gsx i was riding recently this may be due in part to the fact that neither i nor my regular passengers are particularly slimline i always tell passengers stay in line with the bike on corners that makes their movements predictable my regular passengers both tend to hold either the rack or nothing at all i don t really like having a passenger hold onto me except for short periods again that may be biased by the fact that i ve had a couple of new passengers a friend recently for her first time on a bike who hold on to me real tight making any kind of maneuvering difficult i ve also discovered that on longer trips i prefer a passenger who moves and shifts their weight a bit i recently took a work collegue to a meeting about a hour ride and he sat totally still the whole way which left me also sitting very still and getting a sore back we have a code system for turns stop and for i need to shift position chris seabrook fujitsu open systems solutions inc phone x hollis street emeryville ca usa fax dod per saltire gules and or a sun counterchanged
