Who else loves having a pillion? took this yesterday before a little romp around town. I enjoy being a bit of a hooligan, but I really love (edit:riding more conservatively) having a girl on the back holding on tight.

Had my girl on for the first real (140mi) ride this last saturday.. I didnt actually mind it! The bike handled well and was pretty comfortable for the two of us. I expected the bike to feel like a lumber wagon-ish but it was just as easy to drive as when I'm on it by myself.

Had to go check out Big Falls (well as big as they get here in Northern WI).

My GF absolutely loves being on the back of the bike. She gets her iPod going and just enjoys the ride. I obviously don't push the bike as hard when she's on the back, even though she likes to go fast, too :). She's got kids and I would feel terrible if anything happened to her due to my stupidity on the bike.

My wife complains about the seat when she rides pillion on the FZ6. That's why I bought a Victory cruiser for our 2-up rides...that beast has a back rest and a gel seat for the pillion!

I have done probably 95% of the total mileage on my Fazer 2-up. My wife is an excellent pillion and doesn't hold on to me at all, she sits with her hands on her thighs or maybe fondles my bum :)

Yes I know, not enough gear....

I bought a helmet and jacket solely for pillion use. Makes girls(and their parents haha) feel better about being on the back of a bike. Once she gets comfortable and gets used to proper body position it makes a world of difference. But I like her holding on tight, nothing beats that feeling

I get enjoyment out of it simply because the wife and I are enjoying something I love (she likes) together. But I can't clear my mind that we're the two people responsible for a 6 year old boy. So while I like it, my fun is often spoiled by constant concern.

My hubby and I tried it, but neither one of us really liked it. So we have our own bikes now.

I more or less sold my ladyfriend letting me get an FZ6 by the thought of 2 up. However I didnt tell her it would take me a few months of riding to feel comfortable with her on the back :). Good to hear yall still enjoy riding with somone else tho
