re need advice for riding with someone on pillion in article c t dsc well sf ca us rwert well sf ca us bob wert writes i need some advice on having someone ride pillion with me on my ninja this will be the the first time i ve taken anyone for an extended ride read farther than around the block we ll be riding some twisty fairly bumpy roads the mines road mt hamilton loop for you sf bay areans i d say this is a very bad idea you should start out with something much mellower so that neither one of you get in over your head that particular road requires full concentration not the sort of thing you want to take a passenger on for the first time once you both decide that you like riding together and want to do something longer and more challenging then go for a hard core road like mines mt hamilton in any case it s your moral responsibility to make sure that she has proper gear that fits especially if you re going sport riding eric
