A close friend was brave enough to practise some pillion stuff with me this evening. Just went to a quiet spot with a nice long straight bit and a decent turn at one end.
Turning I was very nervous because well I didn't want to stack it and injure my friend. I think this is mainly a confidence thing though and will get exponentially better with time in the saddle.
My question is, with her 'locking on' to me with her knees, I am a quite restricted as far as opening my hips to the turn (which I tend to when setting up for a corner). Should I still try to do this with a pillion? I don't want her to have nothing to hold onto with her knees.
Appreciate any general tips as well
I've read up on pillioning but it's always good to refresh stuff/maybe read something new.
