    Glad to hear it Ade my missus loves going on the back We have a trip planned around Ireland in July Top Box a must for her tho, makes her feel secure

    Intercom a good idea to give her some confidence, we talk more on the bike than we do on the sofa

    Re: pillion virgin !!

    I put my wife on the back of the bike the day after I passed my full bike test. But now with the TA it's a bit more comfy 2 up on a 600 rather than a 125 .
    On the Subject of Top boxed I found it easier to fit Panniers to the TA if you have pillion since the top box seems to push them too far forward and you end up straddling the tank which isn’t too nice when you need to break suddenly.

    Well done for getting the missus into biking. Next step get her on the front! A word of caution - I often end up on the back holding my better half's handbag! The TA's not so bad but sitting on the back of my old Buell was silly - a back seat the size of a postcard and no grabrails. Sheeeeeit!
