No. No. No. She should resist all temptation to move whilst trundling along the Westway (for example) and then attempt to find a comfortable perch *just* as you dive between two lanes of stationary traffic on the Maryleone Road.

Oh, I know, believe me. Mrs Dodger was once asleep from Aosta to Chamonix, which takes some doing. On long trips, she wakes up only when I come to a halt. Of course, the Wing is designed for such eventualities, but the Alpine snooze was on a CBRThou. Auvache and Champ can attest to the somnolent nature of being Winged. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/CBX1000Z |_\_____/_| ..80264../..21661.../..31308.

Some bloke took my son on the back of a bike once and now he won't even ride on the back with me. I believe I'll run over the **** who took him out the first time, if I ever find out who it was. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Wicked Uncle Nigel wrote It is a very different ride on the aft end of one of those. It's no good trying to join in as there is nothing that your puny mass can do against the combined efforts of a 'wing and a determined Dodger, so you simply have to sit back in the nice comfy chair and go with it. It is really rather pleasant.
Cheeky git. It was the 1994 NatWest final, actually. Worcs v Warks, so ner. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/CBX1000Z |_\_____/_| ..80264../..21661.../..31308.

*waves at DNC* and yes- on his Bandit *waves again* although I decided 'holding on' might not be a bad idea whilst Monz lofted one on the IOM the other year.
Probably about time this got aired again- (ginger as ginger can be) I am just a pillion though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises All lies in jest, still the rider hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest La la la la When I left my home and my family, was no more than a girl In the company of a rider With the noise of the motorcycle, sitting scared Laying low, seeking out the grabrails, When the rider goes Looking for the roads that only he would know lie la lie, lie la la-lie lie la-lie, lie-la lie, lie la la-lie lie la lie la-la la lie lie. Asking only for a rideout I come looking for a bike, but I get no offers Just a come on from the lads at Ryka's cafe I do declare there were times when I was so hungry that I took some comfort there la la la ... lie la lie, lie la la-lie lie la-lie, lie-la lie, lie la la-lie lie la lie la-la la lie lie. And I'm laying out my leathers and I'm wishing I was gone, Going out But the London power rangers aren't making for me, Taking me, going out At the roadside sits a pillion with her helmet by her side And she carries the reminders Of every lad that laid her down and rode her till she cried out In her anger and her shame, I am leaving, I am leaving, But the pillion still remains hmm hmm hmm lie la lie, lie la la-lie lie la-lie, lie-la lie, lie la la-lie lie la lie la-la la lie lie.

I remember taking the friend of SWMBO on the back of my bike once. Her first time. She stuck her helmet to the back of mine for most of the bloody journey. You couldn't have got a closer fit with superglue. Every time I told her, she'd stop doing it for about 5 seconds and then do it again. Bloody annoying when I wanted to turn my head to look around, it was.
