Just a point about insurance, back in the 70's they made pillion insurance compulsory, I'd say it still is? I think they ask you if you carry a pillion just to asses your risk? I may be wrong, anybody know for a fact?

That's an interesting point... wouldn't a pillion be considered a third party? I pay extra for pillion cover but as you say Chaz that could simply reflect an assessment of higher risk by the insurance co.

The bottom line though is that even if pillion cover is compulsory by law and is there already, if you take a pillion and told the insurance co that you don't, you'd be breaching their terms of your cover. This would most likely lead to your insurance being voided.

So my understanding is that if you ever take a pillion, your insurance company absolutely must know about it.
