A pillion who ‘resists’ leaning and tenses up during acceleration and while braking can seriously upset the bike’s balance and things can go from bad to dangerous in a moment. Compared to a small bike, the acceleration on a superbike will necessarily feel a LOT stronger and this can scare most pillions. Same with braking. Talk to them before the ride and tell them what to expect.
This is so similar to a passenger briefing before you take someone on a flight,or before throwing the plane into a spin .. negative g's postive g's zero g's etc..
my pillion experience on the ninja reminds me of the "funny sensation in the stomach" as the rider ripped the throttle open witha menacing grunt

very well done sunny bhai nd mr sandeep.. its a must read for everyone [especially for the local rossi's in lucknow] i.e if they pay any heed to it..
i wish we could have a section of this ride safe material in fine print in the leading newspapers.. will have a greater impact on a bigger bunch of readers
my 2 cents ...

to learn about finer nuances of bikes and technical jargon ive been frequenting a local mechanic in my area.. he keeps explaining ,while working on the bikes.. is it a safe bet??
