V-Strom specific discussion / Re: Pillion advice
« Last post by mr_diver on March 28, 2024, 10:08:06 »I agree with Mick, Jen was a decent pillion before getting her own bike, after ridding the 125cc for a couple of months I'd hardly notice her on the back.
Last August's meet was the first time she'd been pillion on a long ride for some time, I don't think it slowed me down leading the group, but I did realise how quiet it was riding on my own.
Saying that intercoms make a big difference - you can chat, but your pillion can also easily tell you they want to move around, needs a pee, stretch the legs ect. - all adds to the comfort for them knowing they can tell you they want something.
