  1. First gear idea is now added to my routine! great insight! tx

  2. Never had a problem with them getting off I find about 3000rpm and drop the clutch always does the trick :smile: :smile:
    Brake on and a hand on the shoulder is always good advice as it gives you time to brace the bike.
     
  3. My old GT750A cut out on me one time with the then-missus on the back. Coasted to the curb, stopped, kick-started, and off again, smooth as silk, practically in one fluid move.
    The bike had re-started instantly, on the very first kick, to my lasting amazement. My second amazement was realising a few seconds later that the then-missus had dismounted without me knowing and was standing fifty yards back wondering what I was doing.

    Lesson learned - get a missus who actually weighs something so you know when they have stepped off the bike.
     
  4. Ooo lmao that's sooo funny
     
  5. First gear selected sounds sensible, but maybe with the engine stopped. If you both end up on your arse with the bike in gear and your hand comes off the clutch......
     
  6. I know this isn't adding anything sensible but one of my old girlfriends was such a good (and unnoticeable) pillion that once when I was lane splitting around the Périphérique in Paris rush hour traffic I looked in the mirror and realised she was not only asleep on the back, but was hanging sideways off the bike as well...
     
  7. No trust issues there, I'd say! :upyeah:

    True enoughthough, a good and experienced pillion is almost unnoticeable to the pilot.
     
  8. Bet she was drooling as well :biggrin:
     
  9. aerobics classes so she can swing her leg over the top box
     
  10. Drunk sitting at the bar pissed as a fart when a big hairy drunken woman walks in with black hairy unshaven armpits! She calls across the room....swinging her arm in a wide arc...."ish there a gentleman in thisss bar that willll buy a lady a drink"?

    "barman get the lady a drink" says the drunk!

    5 minutes later same thing, arm motions across the bar and the "lady" asks for a drink....again!

    Again the drunk says...."barman pour the lady a drink"


    This goes on a number of times and eventually the barman says to the drunk....look fella I dont mind you buying the lady a drink, but I must warn you she's as ugly as hell and unshaven and hairy to boot!


    "what'ja mean....says the drunk...any girl that can lift her leg that high must be a ballerina" :biggrin:
