    I’m with Paulo on this one (each to their own). My Wife or Children are not going on the bike with me. My Wife did go on the back of my VTR 1000 SP2 back in 2008 before the kids came along and to be honest she loved it (maybe the V twin vibration rather than my riding skills).

    Just for my own peace of mind, and I don't mean to derail this from 'children's ages'. but how old is too old for a pillion.

    Just wondering in case I get a hankering for picking up a wrinkly old pensioner.:D

    My little ones had mini bikes and is aiming to have her own bike later on, so to me it's a shared interest, as was mma that she did for 6 years with risk of injury(never injured though). She wants a sky dive for her 18th with me at the side of her too, so I guess we do allot of risky stuff together. Life's for living, got mates in the ground that never touched a motor bike in their short life.
