pillion virgin !!
evening all...... just thought i`d let you know that me girl hopped aboard my trusty @ for the first time today ( never even been on a bike before !!) and she loved it
 in all fairness she didn`t fidget about etc and took to it like a pro. well done i say ! i did get an intercom set to reassure her a bit which worked a treat. had a great time ( only out for approx 2 hours ) but shes already asking when we`re out next ........i think shes got the bug ( thankfully...........justifies all the dosh i spend on my trusty steed.) may not be such a big deal to all of you, but shes got a big grin still on her chops by the way, her name is janine !

Re: pillion virgin !!
Congrats to you both mate.
 Took my mrs out on mine last year for a short test drive. Went out and bought her some proper gear the following weekend. Had a few weekends away last year, including the big meet at Dartmoor. Looking forward to some more, starting soon we hope, and including a trip to France with some old mates from darn sarf, Kent. It is a big deal, cos now you gonna have to buy a bigger topbox, some bigger panniers, a better tankbag .......
