Let me be the first to welcome you and Ian. Who has to wash the bike - you or him? You see, I'm trying to get my wife to do the bike washing as her 'share' of the ownership. Not having much success.

Trust you're as happy on the rear perch as my wife is. The blue bike is much safer too, coz it's slower.
I'm very very happy as pillion, I get to look at the stars whilst zooming along, nosy over hedgerows, send texts (!!!) and not worry about getting lost, sooo much better than being the rider

Ian won't let me wash the bike, its his baby which is just fine by me.
