Pillion on the B-King... it ain't that bad

Travelled around 400 miles over the Bank Holiday weekend, all two up after my lady's CBR decided it didn't want to play.
Now I'd never seen myself using it much for two-up work, it lacks even the smallest luggage cubby hole and when I do take it a distance I intend to put a tail pack exactly where the pillion seat is (and some bloke in the USA has fitted a tank bag... which I'll look into)
Anyway the new tyre scrubbed in well and all I can say is that once you are used to the weight and setting her up properly for a series of bends, you barely notice the passenger and performance is unaffected.
Last night, after these pics were taken, a pal of mine fitted a non-slip cover to the seat. Makes life as pillion a little easier. But my lady (5ft 4ins) assures me it really is fine and she prefers it to other pillion positions.
So, the B-King really is a decent two-up motorcycle, shocker.
Ok, it's no Goldwing but we did a couple of hundred miles on Sunday with some pals, varied speeds, all A and B roads, probably two and half hours throughout the afternoon, and we were both pretty relaxed at the end.
