making my bike solo only

[Anonymous 1]

I ride a Royal Enfield 500 with lots of chrome and for some odd reason women keep wanting a ride on the back. It looks like it came from 1955 it vibrates, is noisy and is quite slow. It’s quirky and different, but where I live the roads are mostly 50mph limit anyway. I like to ride it because it’s what I want to do. I have a yamaha 900 for the days when I want fast and furious.
So, I replace the pillion seat with a rack to take a big topbox and lose the rear foot pegs. This keeps the weight nearer the rear wheel bearings and improves handling, with the added benefit that I can now say “sorry not built to take passengers” to any woman who wants to spoil my fun.
The added bonus is that not carrying a pillion takes about 20% off the insurance costs. Win win for me.

I stripped my fatboy down to the solo saddle a long time ago.

skip the cavernous vag and go your own way

Cool bike! I like those retro styles. That is odd so many women hassle you about riding it. It being a smaller thumper, it probably couldn’t handle the shear mass of most women.
Mine is solo only also. Triumph Thruxton

Interesting point about the insurance rates. I didnt know that type of change would reduce it.

No longer can we walk away, we must run. Remove the motive power.

I had a GSXR that I had to sell off (life, what can I say). I always had the solo cap instead of the rear seat on it. Women don’t know how to ride anyway. I learned my lesson from the one time I put a chick on the back and she didn’t f~~~ing lean with me. Damn near spilled out.

I only have 28 bhp, putting a ton of lard on the back makes a lot of difference. All the women who seem to approach me seem to be either at the wall or post wall with rear ends to match. I was rolling my bikes into my new van the other day, one of my married neighbours said I must be divorced, as I was having way too many fun days out.
I felt sorry for the guy, his wife is definitely post wall with a loud voice to go with it. Going MGTOW monk was a no brainer for me.

I was just reading about this one called a Himalayan in the Motorcyclist magazine. Sounded like fun. I don’t ride motorcycles, I ride scooters but Im looking to move up after a decade on scoots. I thought, I should buy this Himalayan thing, it’s my style, almost like a scooter.

🙂 taking a passenger kills the fun of turning. Im solo 100%

Yes the extra weight is pain , I ride an Africa Twin riding 2 up is no fun …..

The worst about a woman riding pillion is that they never know when to lean in for a corner. Back when I was blue-pill, I used to offer rides to female friends, nothing worse than their leaning in early so they can “see what’s happening” or late because they are “fighting the sensation of falling”. F~~~ing hated that.

Never again.

Nailed it. The worst ones are the ones who try to stay completely upright and lean out of the curve. I would rather go under the bike than over it. The bike will keep going that way.

My DH bike is already solo. Anyway, no one would want to seat behind me when I jump off some stairs and ride up to angled walls for fun 🙂
