I didn't really know the guy as he was a mate of my big brother, so I did not feel inclined to wrap my arms around his waist. As he went up through the gears I found my legs rising up to his chest level and I was only saved from backward ejection by the sight of a police car ahead. :eek
Yup, the last time I had a 'problem' with holding on to the rider was when my mate took off at a rate of knots all the way up to 120. The only thing that stopped me pivoting off the back (I was holding on to the grab rail) were my feet latching under his armpits.
I managed to fight my way back up and was nutting him in the back to make him slow down - which he ignored until we were about 50 yards from the pub and the bike meet we were going to.
Yes, he slammed the brakes on just as I was nutting him again and I nearly went over the top of him.
It was at that point I decided to get my own foccin licence and stop trusting my life to dick-wads
