Have had this conversation with a few people over the years.

I'll never go on a bike.

Why ?

Went on the back of someone years ago and they scared me to death.

Heard this few times now.

What's your experiences?

Only ridden as a pillion twice, first on a Jawa 250 and yes the rider scared me to death, but then I rode pillion on a Goldwing and that was not scary at all.

Girls generally make better pillions, blokes try to make the bike go the way they want and not the way the rider intends to go.

No never, its bad enough being "in control" myself sometimes on the roads nowadays never mind sat on the back helpless!

I have allways been the rider with pillion's on the back, and always adjust how I ride to how the pillion likes be it fast or slow and easy.

I have had people in the past

Who hated there one time on the back of the bike

But after i took them out

They enjoyed being on the back

You have to build up trust

Thats the most important part of you and the person on the back

Most people i spoke to

Said that the rider just went so fast straight away

That they wouldn’t go on a bike again

All you have done is make them hate bikes

A mature rider in my mind

Would let the person on the back

Settle In and slowly up the speed say over a days ride

You have to build up to it

Not wham bam never again

Thats my rant

Went pillion with him for the first time about 4 years ago. Once he picked himself up from the shock that I'd asked, having never shown an interest, we went. A mile in I'd have happily walked home. He started slow and steady and didn't scare me off. Roll on to now and I've just passed my advanced test.

But even now there's only 2 people I'd trust enough to take me pillon.

I ride pillion with hubby (banditrider)

He respects I'm on the back, often forgets I'm there, or so he says! Personally I think he's just being polite, because I find it hard to believe with my fat arse on the back lol.

Obviously he rides completely differently solo.

But now I've done my CBT hopefully we'll be riding side by side

I try to take zero risks on my Vespa and i'm even more careful when i'm travelling to a rally with the wife on the back.

The scooter has a good backrest on it and she struggles to stay awake on the back sometimes
