What's the easiest way to get on and off this bike with / for a pillion.

The g/f and I tried the other day in the backyard, and found it a bit difficult, especially with the panniers on

Cheers
Chris

Well the way my wife and I figured it out once I was on and set she would from the left side with her left foot step onto the left footpeg then swing her right leg over and find the right foot peg then set down, using my shoulders as a hand hold as required.

Which I think is what Bill was saying…

Or maybe, with the bike on its stand and you're standing next to the bike, tell her to mount on the rider's seat, sit and then move backward to the pillion seat.

I was wondering who would be the first to comment.

Hehe.

Yeah I figured you meant with the footpegs

Be far more funny to take a running jump onto the bike from behind though

Will have to give it a shot this weekend

Thanks for the advice
