Had a mishap on weekend when tipped it over at a set of lights when pulling up, with pillion on back. Over balanced and couldn't hold it up and gently, if that is possible layed her on the ground with the 2 of us

My normal stop method has always been left foot down and I haven't had an issue in the past. I think my foot may have slipped on some oil but the issue is I don't really know why it happened. No damage to bike or us.

The 2 helmet setting raises the bike up so that I really haven't a flat foot on landing and need to lean slightly to land.

I am asking what techniques people use to stop with Pillion especially the feet. (left the right), both?

Also the low front seat would this be and advantage as I am approx 5 10 in the old. Can you rife with Pilion on the 1 helmet setting?

Thanks

Any suggestions would help

Thanks

Live the idea of the one helmet - will use that and I might go and purchase a "low seat" anyway to at least gain an inch.

Yes she will still ride with me as we head off in a couple of months around Australia, so she has to.

Thanks again
