No wonder my old girlfriend hated the rear pegs that were mounted on the swingarm of my old XL500, nearly lost her on a couple of train crossings  Laughing

Rock steady images just go to show how good it is.

It was nothing to do with the bike , it's actually two separate subjects / the first is about the bike   ..........The second part is when he was tying her to the train tracks  Razz Laughing

Serious. Older trail bikes had the rear footpegs mounted to the swing arm, your pillions legs were like a extra set of shockers, a couple of times I hit train crossings and other larger bumps, her knees ended up around her ears (nothing wrong with that, just not the right place for it), once I think her feet went past her ears and she nearly dragged me of the bike as she held on for dear life  affraid

No chance of that, I was 19, she was younger and she was very very very good, there was no way I was going to harm her on purpose Wink

Never seen a trail bike with pillion pegs before

A mate of mine had a dt400 with pegs like that of the swinger. They were horrible, I think they were made to discourage pillions Smile

You didn't care as a rider, but for a pillion they absolutely sucked!
