Stronger, Faster, Tougher
Lots of us started out as pillion riders, many of us are now riders in our own right.
My hat goes off to my husband, BlackFly, who hauled me around two up with camping gear on
a K75S for a few years until I went solo. That was many years and many pounds ago (ahem.)
I never really appreciated it until I had an odd chance to ride a fellow Yankee Beemer
to the offsite showers at Paonia a few years ago, and he insisted that he'd ride in back.
As much as I appreciated his confidence in me, JimBud is fit man about 6 feet tall,
and I was on my R1150R. The whole riding dynamic changed, it was heavy and steering was encumbered.
And JimBud is a very experienced rider, not a wiggler!
I dreaded having to stop at the one stop sign en route!
It was the skeeeeriest thing I've done so far.
I'd be interested to hear from any who have piloted or currently DO pilot adult or adult-size passengers.
