Any tips for the missus?
Any tips for the missus?
The wench used to be fine on the back of old mellow yellow, the trusty custard love rocket. Unfortunately she isn't getting on too well with the fuel injeted fury that is the SP2!
Admittedly, she was forewarned it wouldn't be as comfortable as the storm so she can't really whinge about that, but she doesn't seem to be able to keep her butt on the pillion seat! As you can imagine, this isn't too good on the old babymaker (plus I'm worried the evil cow will bust me plastics lol).
I've tried a few things but she still slides forwards. Any tips? I just hope I don't have to subject myself to the humiliation of tw@t handles around my fat gut again! Would it be worth getting some of that non-slip matting and wrapping it around it to see if it works?

I bought an anti skid thingy off eblag, but basically all it was that antislip matting works a treat though stops the sliding but the person has to lift the elbow bit when getting comfy as it rucks up!

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Graft a rampant rabbit on to the pillion seat this will prevent the pillion sliding forward but may create unwanted noises especially if giving a mate a lift.
