Dunno I entirely agree with that, sorta.
It depends on the bike and the pillion. The two best pillions I've had on my bike were Kerry and Cat (RIP). And they were vastly different in body build. I reckon a lot more comes into being able to just go with the bike and not fight it. I've been on a VF1000R loaded up so much with weight in the gearsack and saddlebags and Kerry on the back that getting out of our hilly street in Chatswood, the front wheel of the bike was difficult to keep on the ground under medium throttle. Yet she was pretty much no effect on my riding as I guess she knew somehow what I was about to do. I could suddenly cane the Blackbird and she'd just sit there without having to grab onto me. Fucked if I know how. Strong thighs or something?
Cat I didn't even notice on the back of the budgie. Being a slip of a girl and happily comfortable, you really didn't notice she was there.
On a small bike I think it would make more difference, but who wants to ride small bikes? <waves to Cam>.

Size does not matter and neither does mass :-)
...for the purposes of this thread and within the context of the Subject heading and as set out in the introductory post.
Size may matter but a red flag attached to the end of the subject (or even some Wide Load signage) should satisfy the authority figures.

Hi Kevin.
Is there, perhaps, some punctuation missing, or is it, as the Thespians would say, all in the reading?
> It depends on the bike and the pillion.
Yeah.
Am I right in thinking we are in general agreement?
> On a small bike I think it would make more difference, but who wants > to ride small bikes? > <waves to Cam>.
Angie and I did a Pink Ribbon Ride on the pink RZ250 once.
Apart from desperate slipping of clutch to get going, and then care being taken not to wheelie the thing, it wasn't too hard.
OTOH, I once gave a lift to a proper "bikie", a seven foot tall, built like the proverbial brick dunnie, Hell's Angel.
His H-D was stopped on the freeway due to lack of petrol, and I took him off the Freeway, he bought petrol and I took him back to his bike.
Now, this was with the Suzi 750 cruiser, and, at the time, my left leg wasn't working too well, so I'd normally stop with my right foot down to hold the bike...leaning slightly right.
Anyhow, off I go with this enormous bloke on the back. No problems up until we get to the first red traffic light.
I'm trying to get the bike to lean slightly right, so I can get my foot down, and the big bloke is trying to get it to stay upright, or perhaps lean slightly left..... :-O
After a few moments of panic the guy on the back just put both of his feet down, and held the bike vertical! :-)

I just gotta ask.... Did the HA wear his colours whilst pillioning on the Suzuki?
There must be some sorta club rule on that. Maybe I'm mistaken but 1% and Suzuki don't kinda seem to fit together, or have the Japs become bad ass during petrol shortages.

A truly beautiful story, CC.... That's the kind of pillion I need, I reckon! A Tall one who can flat-foot the bike FOR me, tee hee!

It's good to be big. Mostly. Apart from getting things to fit, doorways, small vehicles, airline seats, etc...

Hmmmm. interesting (if weird) theory - are you saying that I'd be taller if I'd done bad stuff? Yeah, I was a good kid (too fucken scared to be anything else!)
> on the other hand I have a boot print embedded in my nether regions and I > am quite tall
Hmmm, another interesting theory - does a boot up the arse kick-start Human Growth Hormone? I suspect not - I have boot-prints up the arse (and glass-prints on the back, hand-prints on the shoulders and the head) - and I'm still fucken short.
So.... I think your theory's fucked.
Oooh, another possible PhD topic: Does gender have an effect on the efficacy of kick-starts up the arse? (I fucken hate playing the gender card, but I wonder if it actually makes a difference in this case????)
Gee you have some thought-provoking theories in your repertoire...

I think the parable has perhaps something to do with the tongue-in-cheek retort that good kids got all the pats on the head, which kept 'em stunted...

and conversely the kicks up the backside provided an upward impetus.
Or at least that was the 'conventional' wisdom when I was growing up. :)
I musta done my share of good stuff AND bad stuff.

Not for me it didn't.

Well clearly it didn't matter whether I was good or bad (and believe me, I was GOOD. Just never bloody GOOD ENOUGH.)
The day I got my HSC result I spoke to my mother and told her my mark, which was in the top 10 fucken percent of the state. The bitch wanted to know where I'd fucked up. Gee, maybe something to do with having been chucked out of home by her drunken fucken boyfriend only a few weeks after I got home from a year in Japan as an exchange student, and had to spend most of my HSC year boarding with old people - one of whom was a fucken million-year-old dirty old man who used to try and get into the bathroom while I was in there.
Yeah, I was a real fucken suck of a kid. No wonder I'm fucken short.
